Geri Horner and her husband Christian are said to have a strong "marriage pact" after their relationship was rocked by a Whatsapp message scandal during his time at Red Bull.

The team principal has been let go by Red Bull a year after he was investigated over "inappropriate conduct" after a female Red Bull employee raised allegations against him in 2024. He was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Following the scandal, an insider told New!: "Geri and Christian are determined to have fun and show how strong they are, it's their marriage pact. They're stronger than ever and have managed to bounce back from all of the scandal. She wants to make that clear to everyone."

At 52, Geri was eager to display the couple's easy-going nature in a candid chat with The Times. During the interview, she unveiled a list detailing their whimsical relationship rituals, explaining: "I've made some notes. We walk the dogs together, we like walking," and elaborating on a playful birthday surprise for him, "I bought him a goldendoodle for his birthday. I hid the puppy in a phone box and handed it to him. We're very much old-school and family focused."

Their domestic life features frequent barbecues which she quips as - "It's a real man thing," - and even light-hearted quarrels. "He's very tidy. I might leave things around, which makes him a bit cross.", reports the Mirror.

However, despite the seemingly playful home life, the couple's relationship has been under intense public scrutiny. In early 2023, Christian, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, was accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female staff member.

An internal investigation conducted by an independent barrister exonerated him, and a subsequent appeal was dismissed in August 2024.

Just as the situation seemed to calm down, Netflix's latest season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive reignited the controversy. The first episode of the series covers the scandal, including the moment anonymous screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages were distributed to F1 insiders and the media.

Throughout this period, Geri remained in the public eye. At the Bahrain Grand Prix, she was spotted walking hand-in-hand with Christian amidst a media frenzy.

In one scene, she turns to him and says: "The truth is you never know what life's going to bring."

According to our source, that public display of solidarity was intentional: "Though Geri's friends are telling her she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, they know she and Christian do still have their struggles after everything that happened last year. She's taken a lot of inspiration from how Victoria Beckham has handled scandals with David over the years, she's standing by her man."

Geri and Christian seem to have emerged stronger from their experiences, their bond reinforced by a shared commitment to domestic bliss. Out of the limelight, Geri has welcomed a more tranquil existence.
