Melanie C, known as Sporty Spice, was spotted in new vacation photos that seem to echo her previous looks.
The 51-year-old pop star escaped to Mallorca for a romantic vacation with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dinwall.
Both Melanie and Chris posted a series of vacation photos on Instagram, showcasing Melanie in a stylish black bikini.
Reactions from friends and fans flooded the comments. One long-time supporter expressed, “Seeing Melanie looking this healthy and happy melts my heart.” Another noted, “It’s wonderful to see you looking so relaxed and joyful,” while a different fan added, “You two are adorable together. It’s lovely to watch you share these meaningful moments.”
The couple originally made their public appearance together at Wimbledon in London last July and were photographed holding hands at the famous Glastonbury Festival shortly after.
However, they had been quietly dating for several months before that, often spending time together at various events and enjoying romantic trips to places like Brisbane, Byron Bay, and Whitsunday.
Since then, the couple has become more open about their relationship, with Melanie publicly expressing her affection for Chris on social media around the time of her 51st birthday.
Melanie C, who has strong ties to Australia, is set to be a celebrity coach in the next season of a music competition featuring Ronan Keating, Richard Marx, and Kate Miller-Heidke.
While she has been based in Bondi for filming, she made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April while shooting scenes for a new music video.
Notably, Melanie C has been the most reserved of the Spice Girls regarding her romantic life, choosing to keep her relationships out of the spotlight, particularly following past relationships with well-known musicians.
She has a teenage daughter from a previous long-term relationship with Thomas Starr, which ended in 2012 after a decade together. She then spent seven years with manager Joe Marshall before their split in 2022.
