SPICE Girl Mel C was absolutely beaming as she joined her hunky new boyfriend at Wimbledon for a romantic day out.
The iconic 90s pop star has gone public with her romance with Chris Dingwall, an Australian model and director, and now it seems they’re inseparable.

After a weekend of revelry at Glastonbury, the pair ditched their wellies for glam suits to spend the day at the annual tennis tournament.
Mel, 50, looked beaming in cream trousers and a blazer with a burnt orange crop-top, while Chris was dapper on her arm in a black suit jacket and trousers, keeping it casual with a plain white T-shirt.
Looking loved-up, the pair were seen arm-in-arm throughout the event, sharing laughter as they spoke to each other while watching the match.
Chris kept his eyes covered with a pair of black sunglasses, while Mel C enjoyed a glass of Pimm’s from the outside bar.
This is Mel’s first public relationship since splitting with music executive Joe Marshall, her partner of seven years, back in 2022.
The split was reportedly amicable, with Mel deciding to focus her time on her DJ career, and her now 15-year-old daughter, Scarlett, whom she had during a previous relationship with Thomas Starr.
It’s not known how Chris and Mel connected, but the former Spice Girl spent a large part of May in Australia on a DJ tour of the country.
The pair were first spotted on a dog walk together in England in June, before heading out to Glasto last weekend.
She also took to the stage with electronic legends Orbital this year, having previously performed at the event in 2022 with indie band, Blossoms.
Friends with the band since meeting in the 90s, Mel made a guest appearance for their track Spicy, which samples the group’s songs – including the iconic Wannabe.
While Mel clearly enjoyed the music festival – with Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headlining the weekend-long event – she noted she dreamed of the Spice Girls reuniting for a performance on the famed stage.
Speaking to Chris Moyles on Radio X, she said “The absolute ultimate would be to do it with the Spice Girls. There’s nothing I would like more.
“But you know, while they’re still making their minds up… I’ll keep practising.”
She joked, “Shall we start the rumour already?” before adding: “It doesn’t get rumoured every year! It’s something you never hear! Let’s all manifest!”
