They will finally say their ‘I dos’ at St Paul’s Cathedral after their three-year engagement. Mel and family friend Rory, 37, have known each other for years, and he has worked as her hairstylist.
Things are thought to have turned romantic between the pair in 2018 and Rory proposed to Mel back in 2022. It won’t be the pop star’s first time walking down the aisle as she has been married twice before.
However, it hasn’t stopped Mel from planning the ultimate wedding as it has been said Scary Spice and her new husband will enjoy a meal, drinks and dancing after their nuptials at the luxury Shangri-La at The Shard in London. An insider said the wedding will be “huge” and the “most memorable event” but two of her Spice Girl bandmates are “too busy” to attend.
Who is Mel B’s husband-to-be?
Mel and Rory McPhee have known each other for years and it is thought things turned romantic between them back in 2018. Hairstylist Rory has worked in his industry for more than a decade and is described as a curly hair specialist.
He’s co-founded salons such as Rory James, which is located in Horsforth, close to Mel’s own home city of Leeds. Rory is listed as an artist for Lee Stafford, with him credited as training others in the industry and acting as an ambassador in the educational role.
Mel’s fiance also said to be an artist for the brand Redken, which is part of the L’Oréal Group. His celebrity clients have included actor Christian Cooke, who is Mel’s cousin.
Rory and Mel are said to have even met through Christian, who has reportedly been close pals with her soon-to-be husband since they were in school.
