Mel C is set to marry her partner Chris Dingwall this weekend in a private ceremony, as revealed exclusively by Mirror sources. This marks a significant occasion for Mel, who had previously expressed reluctance towards marriage. However, earlier this year, she hinted at a change of heart, acknowledging the possibility of marriage with Chris.
The wedding, taking place at a picturesque countryside location in the UK, will be attended by Mel’s fellow Spice Girls bandmates Geri Horner, Mel B, and Emma Bunton. Unfortunately, Victoria Beckham will not be present as she is currently at the World Cup with her husband, David Beckham.
According to insiders, Mel’s friends are ecstatic about her upcoming nuptials, describing her as the happiest they have ever seen her. Mel, aged 52, went public with her relationship with Chris, an Australian model and screenwriter, in 2024 after connecting on the celebrity dating app Raya. She has credited Chris as a source of inspiration for elements of her recent album, Sweat.
Mel shared that meeting Chris has brought a positive shift in her life, enabling them to blend work and personal time seamlessly due to Chris’s flexibility as a screenwriter who can travel with her. The wedding is seen as a crowning moment in a successful year for Mel, culminating in her recent accolade at the Nordoff And Robbins Silver Clef Awards.
Reflecting on her career and personal life, Mel expressed gratitude for the successes she has experienced, both professionally and romantically. Among her bandmates, Geri, Emma, Mel B, and Victoria, Mel has had a unique journey in relationships, having a daughter with her former partner Thomas Starr before their separation in 2021. She has also been in previous long-term relationships, including one with her former manager, Joe Marshall.
As Mel prepares to say “I do,” her friends and fans celebrate her joy and wish her continued happiness in her new chapter with Chris.
