Melanie “Mel B” Brown is a married woman! The Spice Girls member and “America’s Got Talent” judge married hairstylist Rory McPhee in a London ceremony on July 5, 2025, according to People.
The couple married in The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the outlet reported, with Mel B dressed in an ivory gown designed by Josephine Scott, with her three daughters from previous relationships serving as her bridesmaids. Mel B, who turned 50 in May, later changed into another dress for the couple’s reception at the Shangri-La Hotel inside The Shard, which People said is the tallest building in the U.K.
Fans & Friends Flood Mel B’s Official Wedding Photos With Congratulatory Notes
Mel B and McPhee, a celebrity hairstylist based in England, started dating in 2018 and have been engaged since 2022. But the two had known each other for years as family friends, she told the “Today Show” in 2024.
Two days before their wedding, she posted a photo of herself meditating by the sea on Instagram and wrote, “cant wait to marry the luv of my life.”
After the couple posted an official wedding photo on social media, fans and friends flooded the comment section, with over 30,000 likes within 30 minutes and hundreds of comments, including from Mel B’s “AGT” fellow judge, Sofia Vergara, who left six red heart emoji — “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
“AGT” host Terry Crews also celebrated Mel B’s big day with emoji — “❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Mel B & Rory McPhee Got Engaged in 2022
After two divorces, she wasn’t looking for another relationship, Mel B told the “Today Show,” but she did need help repairing her hair after another hairdresser in Los Angeles left her curls “short and fried.”
“So when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments and get my natural curls back,” she told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.”
McPhee surprised Mel B with his proposal in 2022, getting down on one knee after the couple took a walk with their dogs.
“I was so nervous, my lips were trembling,” McPhee said during a joint interview with Hello! magazine after their engagement. “I’d spent ages writing down all these things I wanted to say, but when it came to it, I just babbled.”
“Oh no, it was lovely, what you said,” Mel B replied. “He told me he loved me, that I was his best friend and that he wanted to be with me for the rest of our lives.”
Although she had sworn off marriage after two divorces, she told the outlet, “For the first time in my life, I’m engaged to a beautiful, honest person who makes me feel protected, nurtured and so loved, and I want to savor that.”
Mel B will be back in the U.S. for live shows of “AGT” season 20 in August, and rumors have swirled for months that the Spice Girls may launch a reunion tour in 2026, but there’s been no official word.
