Mel B Is Married! Spice Girl & ‘AGT’ Judge Weds Hairstylist Rory McPhee
A perfect London wedding for Sporty Spice! Mel B married hairstylist Rory McPhee in The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London on July 5.
The America’s Got Talent judge looked gorgeous in a custom ivory gown designed by Josephine Scott. The dress featured incredible beading that adorned her neckline and sleeves. Mel B also wore a long veil that trailed behind her. McPhee looked handsome in traditional Scottish wedding attire, including a kilt. The bride shared a stunning photo with her now-husband outside the church.
The July nuptials had plenty of famous guests, including Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton, Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, and Katherine Ryan. Mel B’s three daughters, Phoenix, Angel, and Madison, served as bridesmaids.
Not everyone can get married at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the same church where King Charles (then Prince Charles) and Princess Diana were married on July 29, 1981. However, because Mel B is a Member of the Order of the British Empire, she was permitted to say “I do” at the esteemed cathedral.

“It’s a big deal because when you get married there. Not many people are allowed to get married there. You have to be kind of special,” Mel B recently said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Mel B and McPhee were friends before their relationship turned into a romantic one. They had also worked together on The Masked Singer. After three years of dating, McPhee proposed to the singer in 2022.
The singer was convinced she was “never going to get married again” after two divorces, she told People. McPhee’s love changed everything. “And then… never can say never, can you?” she noted.
Mel B was first married to Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000. They share daughter Phoenix. She had a brief and highly-publicized relationship with Eddie Murphy, which led to the birth of Angel in 2007. Mel B married her second husband, Stephen Belafonte, in 2007. They share daughter Madison. Mel B and Belafonte divorced in 2017.
