Mel B is engaged to her boyfriend of three years, Rory McPhee.
The Spice Girl, 47, was said to have accepted the proposal on Wednesday with a £100,000 diamond ring.
According to reports, the Leeds-born hairdresser proposed to Scary Spice at the posh country hotel Cliveden House in Berkshire.
Mel B was ‘overwhelmed’ as Rory, a Leeds-born hairdresser, dropped down on one knee and erupted into tears of excitement.
‘He’s the absolute opposite of so many of the guys she had relationships with,’ explaining how he has shown her that men can be ‘caring, trustworthy and reliable.
‘He has really taken the time to understand what she’s been through. He is madly in love with her.’
Reports describe Mel’s fiance as a “regular, down-to-earth person with solid values” who is uninterested in stardom.
They also disclosed that the two had known one other for many years, with Rory being great friends with Mel’s cousin, Christian Cooke.
Mel’s eldest daughter Phoenix, 23, was the first person she told about the engagement, and her friends and family are reported to be ‘overjoyed,’ while all of the singer’s fellow Spice Girls have already met ‘and loved’ her future husband.
The pair reportedly started dating in 2018, when they met through mutual connections in Los Angeles, including famous make-up artist Renee Camilleri.
When Mel returned to the UK for the Spice Girls reunion tour the following year, their relationship grew more serious.
Mel has a kid named Pheonix with Dutch dancer Jimmy Gulzar. Mel first met Jimmy when he was employed as a dancer for a Spice Girls global tour in 1998.
They were engaged in May 1998, she got pregnant a month later, and they married in September of that year in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Their divorce was finalized in the year 2000.
Mel is also the mother of Angel Iris Murphy Brown, 15, whom she shares with Hollywood star Eddie Murphy.
Mel gave birth to Angel in April 2007, after the couple divorced in December 2006. On June 22, 2007, a court-ordered DNA test verified Eddie Murphy’s paternity.
Mel B and her second husband Stephen Belafonte also have an 11-year-old daughter, Madison Brown Belafonte.
Mel divorced Stephen in 2017 and claimed he had emotionally and physically assaulted her throughout their 10-year marriage, something he has always denied.
