\nChris Dingwall and Melanie C (pictured in Los Angeles in June 2026) – “I was 49 when I met Chris and I was in a really good place. We had a date in Australia, and it’s been difficult to separate us ever since”<\/p>\n
Spice Girl Melanie C has married Australian model Chris Dingwall wearing a custom look designed by bandmate Victoria Beckham.<\/p>\n
Sporty Spice, real name Melanie Chisholm, tied the knot in Britain’s Lake District on Saturday wearing a custom Victoria Beckham ivory lace silk slip dress.<\/p>\n
Dingwall, who wore a black tuxedo, proposed to Chisolm while the pair were on holiday in Mallorca in July 2025.<\/p>\n
The singer said although she did not see it coming, or ever plan to have a big wedding, when he proposed she felt it was “right”.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old told British Vogue, which had exclusive access to the wedding day: “I’ve had this awakening in my 50s \u2013 I’m very comfortable in my skin.<\/p>\n
\n
“I thought, ‘You know what? This is a part of my story’. When you’re my age, you’re like… ‘I actually want to experience all of the things’.”<\/p>\n
Three of her Spice Girls bandmates \u2013 Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell-Horner \u2013 attended the wedding.<\/p>\n
Beckham said of the dress design: “Melanie is quite minimalist and didn’t want anything too fussy, conceptual, or overly complicated \u2013 this is all very aligned with what I do.”<\/p>\n
The UK celebration came after the couple had a legal ceremony in Sydney, where Melanie C’s “something borrowed” came from Posh Spice’s own wardrobe, which inspired the dress for the big day.<\/p>\n
Chisolm continued: “Victoria was so excited about being able to do this for me, and having her and [my daughter] Scarlett there every step of the way has been very special. Plus, I just love her clothes.” <\/p>\n
Speaking about Dingwall, she added: “The spark was immediate.<\/p>\n
“I was 49 when I met Chris and I was in a really good place. We had a date in Australia, and it’s been difficult to separate us ever since.”<\/p>\n

She said Dingwall “fits perfectly” with her and Scarlett and has been “a beautiful addition” to their lives.<\/p>\n
She added: “I’m a single mum. My daughter is 17, and we’re pretty resilient the two of us, we’re a team. For anybody coming into our world… it was going to be tough, and he just fits perfectly. It’s a beautiful dynamic.”<\/p>\n
Melanie C was 20 when the Spice Girls were formed in 1994, with the group rocketing to fame after the 1996 release of Wannabe.<\/p>\n
She has since launched her solo career and recently released her ninth album, Sweat.<\/p>\n
