Mel B Marries Hairstylist Rory McPhee After 6 Years of Dating
Melanie “Mel B” Brown and Rory McPhee are spicing up their life together.
The Spice Girls star, famously known as Scary Spice, officially tied the knot with her boyfriend of six years during a romantic ceremony in The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, England, on July 5.
Alongside a picture of the two outside the iconic church shared to Instagram that same day, Mel simply added the caption, “05.07.25.”
During the nuptials, the 50-year-old donned an ivory custom gown from Josephine Scott before later changing into a dress from designer Justin Alexander.
And back in January, she revealed that her former bandmate Victoria Beckham was responsible for designing another one of her stunning dresses.
"Victoria actually designed my dress and my mom's dress," the America's Got Talent: Fantasy League judge said on Today with Hoda & Jenna earlier this year. "It's such a beautiful honor to get."
In addition to Mel’s stunning sense of style, stars like Emma Bunton, Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Katherine Ryan joined in on the couple’s lavish celebrations.
And the singer—who shares daughter Pheonix Chi, 26, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar as well as Angel Iris, 18, with ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy and Madison, 13, with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte—had all three of her girls to serve as the sweetest bridesmaids.
As for how the couple managed to get married at St. Paul’s Cathedral? Well, Mel previously became a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) after Prince William applauded her work bringing awareness to domestic violence issues—and it came with some perks.
“It’s a big deal because when you get married there—not many people are allowed to get married there,” Mel said during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “You have to be kind of special.”
After all, the couple has been awaiting their big day for three years since Rory popped the question while on a getaway to Berkshire.
"He said, 'I love you, you're my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,'" Mel recalled of the proposal after friend and comedian Ruby Wax asked her about the big moment on Celebrity Gogglebox in 2022. “There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel—which was Cliveden. It was very romantic. I love flowers."
