Spice Girl Melanie C \u2013 aka Sporty Spice \u2013 looks as fit as ever in these candid new vacation photos.<\/p>\n
The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall.<\/p>\n
The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the vacation on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini \u2013 and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of ecstasy use in dance music.<\/p>\n

Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,\u201d one longtime fan wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cGorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,\u201d wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,\u201d another fan gushed.<\/p>\n

Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick.<\/p>\n
The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival.<\/p>\n
But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie\u2019s frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays.<\/p>\n

Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her \u201clove\u201d for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday.<\/p>\n
Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven\u2019s music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke.<\/p>\n
She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video.<\/p>\n

Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians.<\/p>\n
She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr.<\/p>\n
The pair split in 2012 after a decade together.<\/p>\n
After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spice Girl Melanie C \u2013 aka Sporty Spice \u2013 looks as fit as ever in these candid new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,364,21880,75,21881,341,21882],"class_list":{"0":"post-27606","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrity-couples","11":"tag-celebrity-vacations","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-melanie-chisholm","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-spice-girls"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
