London, England — Mel B, beloved Spice Girls singer known for her dynamic performances and vibrant personality, celebrated a new chapter in her life Saturday by marrying hairstylist Rory McPhee at the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The 50-year-old performer, famously recognized as “Scary Spice,” wore a stunning white gown adorned with intricate beaded detailing. McPhee, 37, complemented her look in traditional Scottish attire, donning a kilt. The couple shared their excitement on social media, posting photos and joyfully announcing their union with simple captions: “MARRIED” and the date “05.07.25.”
The couple’s nuptials were a star-studded affair, attended by several notable figures, including Mel B’s former bandmate Emma Bunton, known as “Baby Spice,” along with model Cara Delevingne, comedian Katherine Ryan, and model Daisy Lowe. Although fellow Spice Girls Victoria Beckham and Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm were absent, they extended their congratulations through heartfelt messages online.
Chisholm expressed her regret at not being able to attend, saying she was “beyond gutted” but looked forward to celebrating with the couple soon. Beckham, in her tribute, wished them a memorable day, celebrating the couple’s joy.
In a delightful twist, Mel B had revealed earlier that Beckham contributed to her wedding festivities by designing one of her gowns and her mother’s outfit as well. Mel B expressed her excitement during a prior talk show appearance, stating her desire to wear multiple dresses throughout the day.
The ceremony saw her three daughters playing significant roles as bridesmaids, embodying the singer’s family spirit. Mel B’s eldest daughter, Phoenix, 26, comes from her short marriage to Jimmy Gulzar. Her other daughters, Angel Iris, 18, and Madison, are from previous relationships with Eddie Murphy and Stephen Belafonte, respectively.
Mel B and McPhee first crossed paths in 2018 through mutual friends, embarking on a romantic relationship the following year. While they initially kept their romance private, their engagement in 2022 marked a transition as they began sharing glimpses of their life together on social media.
The proposal was both creative and personal, with McPhee designing Mel B’s engagement ring himself. He hid the ring in a sock drawer for three months before proposing at her favorite hotel in Berkshire. Reflecting on the moment, Mel B recounted how she insisted on bringing her dogs along, remarking on the room adorned with flowers and the unfolding surprise as McPhee fell to one knee.
As they embark on this new journey together, the couple’s love story continues to captivate their fans and friends alike, celebrating the joys of love, family, and friendship.
