Melanie C Marries Australian Model Chris Dingwall in Intimate UK Wedding

Melanie C, known as Sporty Spice, married Australian model and writer Chris Dingwall in a private countryside ceremony in England on 18 July 2026. The couple, who met through the dating app Raya in 2023, also held a legal ceremony in Sydney earlier that week.

Fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who could not attend the UK celebration because she was in the United States for the World Cup, supplied a wedding dress. After Melanie C’s original dress did not fit, Beckham lent her an identical design from her own wardrobe and then created a bespoke version, which the bride described as “something borrowed.” The other Spice Girls—Emma Bunton, Mel B and Geri Horner—joined the bride for the photographs.

The wedding was a low‑key family affair, with Melanie’s 17‑year‑old daughter Scarlet present. Beckham’s contribution and the Spice Girls reunion were highlighted in media coverage, emphasizing the close ties among the former pop group members.
