Mel C and her new husband Chris Dingwall couldn't keep their hands off each other as they passionately kissed in the sea on their honeymoon in Ibiza.
The Spice Girl, 52, and the Australian model, 47, married in an intimate ceremony in the Lake District and have now jetted off to the party island to celebrate with her family.
Unconventionally, Mel has taken her mother Joan and stepfather Dennis on her honeymoon with Chris, and they have been seen soaking up the sunshine together.
But the newlyweds still found time for romance, as they packed on the PDA in the sea as they kissed with their arms wrapped around each other.
It's no surprise Chris was all over Mel, as she showcased her killer body in a tiny black bikini during their beach day.
Famously known as Sporty Spice, the singer showed off her washboard abs and ripped physique as she strolled down the shoreline.
Makeup free Mel wore her brunette hair tied up in a bun and shielded her eyes from the rays with a pair of stylish sunglasses.
It was revealed earlier this week that Mel's new husband is a divorcée who separated from his ex-wife after a short marriage 'because they wanted different things in life'.
Chris was previously wed to an actress whom he met in his early twenties.
According to insiders, Chris started dating fellow Australian Tamara Salamacha after a chance encounter in Barcelona and lived in London before travelling the world together.
Their relationship ended 15 years ago during a time in which Chris was determined to make it as an actor in Hollywood.
Chris met Mel – whose real name is Melanie Chisholm – on celebrity dating app Raya three years ago, with the pair's first date in Sydney.
The relationship took another turn a year later when Chris surprised Mel by proposing in July 2025 during a romantic getaway in Mallorca, Spain.
Mel had openly sworn off marriage for many years, believing it would never be part of her future, but has since conceded that she had a change of heart, especially since turning 50 and wanting to 'do all the things'.
A friend of Chris's added: 'He maintains a very low profile, particularly with his relationships.
'He was based in LA for many years for work and he was surrounded by all sorts of celebrities, but he kept dating and various relationships very low profile.
'What I know of Chris, he doesn't chase the limelight, however is very drawn to it.
He doesn't want to be centre stage and would be happy for Mel to be there, but he has always had a lure for media.'
During her honeymoon, Mel has been sharing a glimpse of their post-wedding holiday in loved-up snaps on her Instagram page.
Channelling her sporty roots, Mel swapped her bridal gown for an oversized T-shirt, with trainers tied to her wedding car instead of the traditional cans.
Chris sported a T-shirt with a fun take on Nike's iconic Just Do It phrase, with the top saying Just Did It, in reference to their recent nuptials.
Posing with the vehicle, she and Chris shared a kiss before heading to the Chinois Ibiza nightclub where Melanie performed a DJ set.
The singer shared a hilarious video from the night that showed her tossing a replica of her bouquet into the crowd.
The video showcased the journey to the dancefloor, with Melanie flashing her amazing abs in the crop top before hitting the DJ decks.
In a host of photos released by Vogue, Melanie was seen getting her dress fitted, and walking hand in hand with her new husband Chris.
Melanie told Vogue: 'The spark was immediate.
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.
'He's been such a beautiful addition to mine and my daughter's life.
Because, you know, 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.'
