Victoria Beckham Sends Love to Mel B Despite Missing Her Wedding
Spice Girls Drama: Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell Snub Mel B's Wedding
It's a Spice Girls reunion like no other! Mel B is set to tie the knot with her fiancé Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, but it seems not all of her former bandmates will be in attendance. The drama surrounding Mel B's wedding has been brewing for weeks, and now sources close to the situation have spilled the tea.
It appears that Victoria Beckham, 51, won't be there to celebrate with Scary Spice (Mel B) after all. According to insiders, Victoria is abroad on a pre-planned trip and simply can't make it back in time. Despite her absence, Victoria still made sure to send her well-wishes to the happy couple via Instagram Stories. She posted a stunning photo of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event, gushing: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man!"
But it seems Victoria's absence might not be the only one from the Spice Girls' reunion we're hoping for. Geri Halliwell, another original member of the iconic girl group, won't be attending Mel B's nuptials either. Sources close to the situation claim that Geri and Mel have had a tempestuous relationship in the past, ever since Mel dropped a bombshell revelation about her intimate history with Geri during an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories program back in 2019.
The fallout from that interview was massive, with both women making public jabs at each other. The tension between them has been palpable ever since. In fact, neither Victoria nor Geri attended Mel B's 50th birthday bash in Leeds just a few months ago – it was just Emma Bunton and Mel C who joined Scary Spice for her milestone celebration.
This isn't the first time Mel B has said "I do" either! She's already married twice before: to Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 (which ended in divorce) and film producer Stephen Belafonte in 2007, whom she accused of emotional and physical abuse in 2016. Their marriage was a rollercoaster ride, with Mel even claiming they spent her £50 million fortune during their time together.
It's no surprise, then, that Mel has been cautious about her latest romance with Rory McPhee. But insiders close to the couple claim that Mel has been smitten with Rory since he started giving her hair treatments after her split from Stephen. "He's a family friend, great hairdresser... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments," she gushed last year.
Mel B and Rory got engaged earlier this year, and now they're set to tie the knot at one of London's most historic landmarks – St Paul's Cathedral. And what a ceremony it promises to be! Mel will be walking down the aisle in an exquisite Vegas showgirl-style feathered headdress and white and gold dress.
The big day is going to be a star-studded affair, with many famous friends expected to attend. But amidst all the glamour and excitement, one thing's for sure: this wedding is going to be a Spice Girls reunion like no other!
Mel B Celebrates Her Hen Party in Style
Before the big day arrives, Mel B celebrated her upcoming nuptials with an unforgettable hen party in Tunisia. The sun-soaked bash featured leopard-print bikinis, a choreographed dance routine, and even a "Zen party" with belly dancing! Mel's daughter Phoenix was joined by 35 of their closest friends for the lavish celebration.
The festivities included a sumptuous menu and dancing by the ocean, as well as a leopard-print themed night. It was clear that Scary Spice is having the time of her life before she says "I do" to Rory McPhee!
