Mel C Marries Chris Dingwall

A British Vogue profile presents the private Australia legal ceremony and a Cumbria celebration as a family-focused moment that put Victoria Beckham's wardrobe and design help in the spotlight.

Overview

  • Melanie Chisholm confirmed her marriage to Australian model Chris Dingwall in a British Vogue profile published July 19–20, 2026, saying the couple met on the Raya dating app in 2024.
  • Dingwall proposed during a Mallorca holiday in July 2025, and Chisholm described their connection as immediate after meeting when she was 49.
  • The pair completed a low-key legal ceremony in Australia before holding a larger celebratory gathering in Cumbria, England, this summer.
  • Victoria Beckham lent a dress from her own wardrobe for the Australian ceremony after Chisholm's ordered gown did not fit, and Beckham later made a bespoke vintage-lace gown for the English celebration.
  • Chisholm, 52, said the marriage brings family stability for her and her 17-year-old daughter Scarlett and adds a personal chapter to renewed public interest in the Spice Girls during their 30th-anniversary period.
