LONDON - It’s a baby boy for “Baby Spice” Emma Bunton.

He is the first child for Bunton and boyfriend Jade Jones.

“He is absolutely brilliant and both baby and Emma are doing fine,” Jones said in a statement. “In fact, Emma is tucking into some flapjacks and Coca-Cola as we speak. We are both absolutely delighted and can’t wait to take Beau home.”

The Spice Girls — Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Brown — had a string of global hits before splitting in 2001. In June they announced they were reuniting for a tour that will begin later this year.
