Geri Halliwell's Ongoing Snub to Mel B Sparks Spice Girls Drama
SCANDALOUS! Mel B's Lavish Wedding Weekend Snubbed by Geri Halliwell - but Victoria Beckham Sends Sweet Congratulations
The Spice Girls' catty drama continues! Mel B's highly anticipated wedding weekend was a star-studded affair, with A-listers like Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith, and Kerry Katona in attendance. However, one notable absence from the guest list was Geri Halliwell - and it seems like their frosty relationship is far from thawing.
Mel B tied the knot with Rory McPhee at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday afternoon, surrounded by friends and family. But as she exchanged vows for the third time (yes, you read that right!), there was no sign of her former Spice Girl bandmate Geri Halliwell. The 52-year-old singer has been tight-lipped about the wedding, with not a single mention or congratulations on her Instagram page.
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham was quick to send her well-wishes to Mel B and her new husband Rory, captioning a throwback photo of the two with their Spice Girls bandmates Geri, Mel C, and Emma: "Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness!" Victoria's sweet message was accompanied by a heartwarming photo of the two women, who have reportedly remained close despite their different paths in life.
But what about Geri Halliwell? Sources close to the singer revealed that she was "mortified" by Mel B's bombshell revelation on Piers Morgan's Life Stories back in 2019, where she confessed to having an intimate relationship with Ginger Spice when they were both part of the Spice Girls. Mel B never apologized for her shocking admission, and it seems like their friendship has been irreparably damaged as a result.
Mel C was also noticeably absent from the wedding celebration, but made up for it by sharing a sweet snap of Mel B and Rory on Saturday evening. The singer gushed about being "gutted" not to be there in person, but promised to celebrate with her friends soon. It's clear that these Spice Girls have some unfinished business to attend to!
The wedding ceremony itself was an intimate affair, with only close friends and family members in attendance. Mel B stunned in a pearl-adorned white gown, complete with a sheer illusion design and flowing veil. Her groom Rory looked dashing in traditional Scottish attire, complete with a red and green tartan kilt.
But it wasn't just the happy couple who turned heads - their children also made a stylish appearance! Phoenix Chi, Madison, and Angel Iris all beamed as they arrived to see their mother walk down the aisle. Meanwhile, celebrities like Gaby Roslin, Angellica Bell, Katherine Ryan, and Alan Carr were spotted in attendance.
As for Geri Halliwell's conspicuous absence, it seems like the drama is far from over. TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that there was "no bad blood" between Victoria Beckham and Mel B, with sources insisting that they simply couldn't be there due to scheduling conflicts. But what about Geri? It looks like her frosty relationship with Mel B is here to stay - at least for now.
In other news, Mel B's relationship with Rory has been a long time coming. The two first met when he was working as a hairdresser and gave Mel B hair treatments. As she revealed last year, "He nurtured my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship." Ah, love is in the air!
As for Mel B's past relationships, it seems like her marriage to Stephen Belafonte is well and truly behind her. The two eloped to Las Vegas in 2007 before having a vow renewal ceremony in Egypt the following year - but their romance ultimately ended in heartbreak. In 2016, Mel accused Stephen of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves! Back to Mel B's lavish wedding weekend... as she said "I do" for the third time, it was clear that these two are meant to be. And with friends like Victoria Beckham sending their congratulations from afar, it seems like Geri Halliwell is the only one who can't quite bring herself to wish them well.
UPDATE: It's been revealed that Mel B and Rory have been friends for some time, with sources close to the couple confirming that they first met when he was working as a hairdresser. "He was giving her hair treatments," an insider spilled, "and they just clicked." Ah, love is in the air!
