It seems 2025 was a year of significant personal milestones for Mel B, affectionately known as Scary Spice. While the Spice Girls continue to be a powerhouse in music, Mel B herself was stepping into a new chapter of her life, culminating in a beautiful wedding.
On July 5, 2025, Mel B exchanged vows with her longtime boyfriend, Rory McPhee, in a truly star-studded ceremony at the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Pictures from the day paint a picture of pure joy, with Mel B looking absolutely radiant in a custom ivory gown by Josephine Scott. She later changed into a stunning Justin Alexander dress for the reception, proving she still has that superstar sparkle.
The journey to this special day was filled with heartfelt moments. Mel B shared details about Rory during a March 2024 appearance on TODAY, describing him as a "family friend" and a "great hairdresser." Their paths crossed when Mel B was experiencing some hair woes after a less-than-ideal salon visit in LA. Rory, based in England, would come over to help nurse her curls back to health, and as Mel B put it, "as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship."
Adding a deeply touching layer to their engagement story, Rory McPhee sought Mel B's father's blessing in a profoundly moving way. He visited her father's grave to ask for her hand in marriage. Mel B recounted this with emotion, noting how "lovely" it was, even though her father, sadly, couldn't verbally respond.
Rory himself admitted to feeling incredibly nervous when it came time to propose. He confessed in a 2022 interview with Hello! Magazine that his "lips were trembling" and that despite preparing what he wanted to say, the moment itself was a whirlwind of emotion.
While the public might recall past relationships, including her marriage to Stephen Belafonte which concluded around 2017, Mel B's 2025 wedding to Rory McPhee marks a clear and happy new beginning. It's wonderful to see her celebrating such a significant personal moment, surrounded by loved ones and looking every bit the happy bride.
