All About Mel B’s Husband, Hairstylist Rory McPhee

Singer Mel B, widely known as part of the Spice Girls, has recently celebrated her first wedding anniversary with hairstylist Rory McPhee. The couple, who tied the knot on July 5, 2025, in London, later commemorated their union with a second ceremony in Morocco on August 1 of the same year.

The couple’s journey together began in 2019, after Mel B and McPhee started dating following her divorce from Stephen Belafonte in 2017. During an appearance on “Celebrity Gogglebox” in October 2022, Mel B shared the romantic details of their engagement, which took place during a getaway to Cliveden House in Berkshire, her favourite hotel. Notably, their dogs were part of the moment, providing a heartwarming touch to the occasion.

Reflecting on her past, Mel B had previously vowed never to marry again after her two divorces. Her first marriage was to Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000, and her second was with Belafonte, lasting from 2007 until their separation. Mel B’s change of heart came when McPhee began doing her hair, and he became an increasingly significant figure in her life. She expressed her newfound belief in love, stating that her previous relationships did not represent true love and that McPhee provided her with the affection she had been missing.

On their anniversary, Mel B took to social media to reflect on both wedding ceremonies, sharing a montage of photos from their Moroccan celebration. “This time last year … what a weekend … Wanna do it all over again ❤️,” she captioned the nostalgic post.

Rory McPhee is not just Mel B’s husband; he is also an accomplished hairstylist. He is a co-founder of the Rory James Salon in Horsforth, England, and works with prominent brands, including Redken International and Lee Stafford. McPhee has styled Mel B’s hair for various television appearances over the years, including “Big Zuu’s Big Eats” and “The Masked Singer Australia,” where they both showcased a close professional relationship before their romance blossomed.

The couple’s relationship took root during a troubled period for Mel B, particularly following the death of her father, Martin Brown. Reconnecting after her marriage ended, McPhee patiently provided his support during challenging times. He even sought permission from her late father at his grave before proposing, underlining the depth of their bond and the meaningful foundation upon which their relationship was built.

Their wedding was a grand affair held at The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, a historic venue that has hosted many notable figures, including Princess Diana and King Charles. Mel B donned a stunning ivory gown designed by Josephine Scott for the ceremony, later changing into a dress by Justin Alexander for their reception at the Shangri-La Hotel within The Shard, the tallest building in the UK. Her three children played significant roles in the celebrations, serving as bridesmaids, illustrating the family-centric nature of their union.

In addition to her musical career, Mel B is dedicated to her children: Phoenix, whom she had with her first husband, and Angel and Madison, the latter two from her second marriage. Rory McPhee has quickly built a close relationship with her children, earning their affection as both a partner and a friend. Mel B has noted that the children adore him and enjoy his presence.

As Mel B and Rory McPhee settle into married life, the couple appears to forge a strong partnership grounded in companionship, trust, and love. Their journey together, marked by healing and mutual respect, seems destined for continued growth, particularly as they navigate the complexities of blending their lives and families. With their first anniversary now behind them, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this duo in both their personal and professional lives.
