Between their performance at the closing ceremony for the 2012 Summer Olympics and their musical, "Viva Forever," The Spice Girls have staged something of a comeback. Here, the group attends the press launch of the musical in June 2012. But what else have they been up to since their heyday in the '90s?
Solo careers and families weren't on group members' minds backstage at the 1997 BRIT Awards.
The artist formerly known as Posh Spice scored big by marrying hunky soccer player David Beckham, with whom she has four young children. She has also made a name for herself in the fashion industry and stayed visible in Hollywood with appeareances on shows like "Project Runway" and "American Idol."
Baby Bunton now has babies of her own. The mother of two is engaged to former British singer-turned professional chef Jade Jones and, like Beckham, has entered the world of fashion design. She recently debuted her second line of children's clothing.
Halliwell is the mother of one daughter and has popped up ocassionally as a guest judge on the British version of "The X Factor." She also reportedly designed a line of swimwear last year.
Brown has also remained in the limelight despite keeping busy with three children (one of whom was fathered by actor Eddie Murphy) with acting roles. In 2007, she came in second place on "Dancing With the Stars," and is set to be the new judge on "America's Got Talent."
Chisholm has continued to make music, releasing several albums over the years. Her latest, "Stages," was released in September and included a duet with former bandmate Bunton. Chisholm has one daughter.
