Geri Horner, who became world famous through the Spice Girls, is said to have been very close to her brother. Max Halliwell also appeared on a show about his sister in 2010. In “Life Stories” with Piers Morgan (56), he said, according to media reports, that the singer was a “daddy child”: “Maybe because of the attention my father paid to her regarding her potential.” He also explained that the two siblings suffered a lot after the death of their father Laurence in 1993.
