Spice Feud? Victoria Beckham & Geri Halliwell Missing Mel B's Wedding

The Spice Girls' Dirty Laundry: Melanie Brown's Wedding Exposes Rift Between Former Bandmates!

As the world waits with bated breath for Scary Spice's big day, it seems that not all of her former bandmates will be joining in on the celebration. Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell have both been left off the guest list for Melanie Brown's wedding to fiancé Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral this weekend.

But why? Well, sources close to the fashion designer reveal that Posh will be busy with "long-standing plans" abroad, carefully sidestepping any potential drama. When asked if there was a rift between Victoria and Mel B, insiders assured us that it's just one of those things - no hard feelings, despite their differing paths.

Meanwhile, Geri's absence is far more telling. The two women have had a history of animosity dating back to 2019 when Mel B spilled the tea about her secret romance with Ginger Spice during an interview for Piers Morgan's Life Stories. Geri was left reeling from the revelation, with her husband Christian Horner reportedly "mortified" by the claims.

It seems that neither Victoria nor Geri will be gracing Mel's 50th birthday party either - a gathering that only saw Emma Bunton and Mel C in attendance back in May. This lack of unity is nothing new for the Spice Girls, who have long struggled to put their differences aside.

Mel B's tumultuous love life has been well-documented over the years. She's married three times already - to Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar (1998), producer Stephen Belafonte (2007), and finally, her current husband-to-be Rory McPhee. Her past relationships have been marked by controversy, including accusations of emotional and physical abuse from Stephen, which he vehemently denies.

There is also a suggestion that either Emma Bunton or Melanie C will not be going (Spice Girls pictured in 1996 L-R Emma Bunton, Mel C, Victoria Adams, Geri Halliwell and Mel B)

But Mel B seems to be finding happiness with Rory, whom she credits for nurturing her curls - and her trust. The two are set to tie the knot at St Paul's Cathedral, thanks to Mel's OBE award in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

As the big day approaches, it seems that Melanie Brown is determined to let loose with a sun-soaked hen party in Tunisia, complete with leopard-print bikinis, choreographed dance routines, and "Zen parties" by the ocean. Her daughter Phoenix and 35 friends joined in on the fun, indulging in lavish feasts and dancing the night away under the stars.

But amidst all the celebration, it's hard not to notice the elephant in the room - or rather, the missing Spice Girls. Emma Bunton is expected to be in attendance, but there's been no word yet on whether Mel C will make an appearance. Could this be the beginning of the end for the Spice Girls?
