UPDATE: Mel C, the beloved Spice Girls star, has turned heads with her incredibly fit bikini body during a sun-soaked getaway in Ibiza. The 51-year-old singer was spotted enjoying a romantic swim with her boyfriend, Australian model Chris Dingwall, on Tuesday, July 25, 2024.
The iconic Sporty Spice showcased her toned physique in a sleek black bikini while spending quality time on a yacht with friends. The couple’s public display of affection has ignited excitement among fans, especially as Mel C has typically kept her personal life under wraps.
Just last week, she shared stunning snapshots from their vacation on social media, featuring both solo shots flaunting her impressive fitness and affectionate moments with Dingwall. This trip marks a significant moment for the singer, who went public about their relationship at Wimbledon in July 2024. However, sources reveal the couple had been dating quietly for months prior to their public debut.
Fans are buzzing about her Instagram post from July 27, where she referred to Dingwall as her “love” following a heartfelt birthday message he shared in January. In his post, Dingwall wrote, “Happy Birthday @melaniecmusic (for yesterday)! Been a beautiful year. Looking forward to another amazing one with you ❤️❤️❤️.” This tender exchange highlights the couple’s deepening bond.
Mel C’s openness about her relationship is a stark contrast to her typically private nature regarding past romances. She shares a 16-year-old daughter, Scarlet, with ex-partner Thomas Starr, with whom she was in a decade-long relationship before their split in 2012. Afterward, she dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years until their breakup in 2022.
In addition to her personal developments, Mel C continues to celebrate her musical legacy. The Spice Girls recently reunited in April 2024 for Victoria Beckham’s star-studded birthday party. The group, including Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Mel B, performed their classic hit “Stop,” creating unforgettable memories captured by Victoria’s husband, David Beckham. He shared the moment on social media, calling it a highlight of the celebration.
As Mel C embraces her new relationship and maintains her musical connections, fans are eager to witness what’s next for the iconic singer. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
