Spice Girl Melanie C holidays with Aussie boyfriend in Ibiza

Melanie C and her Australian model boyfriend seem to be closer than ever after being spotted enjoying a romantic getaway together.

Mel C has been spotted living it up in Ibiza on holiday with her new boyfriend, Sydney-born model Chris Dingwall.

Sporty Spice, 50, looked loved up as they took a break from frolicking in the ocean to enjoy a boat ride together.

Dingwall could be seen placing his hand lovingly on the singer’s back as he flashed her a smile in one romantic snap.

It’s unknown exactly when Mel C sparked her romance with the handsome Sydney-born model, believed to be in his 40s.

The couple appear to be loving each other’s company lately, as they’ve been somewhat inseparable.

Earlier this year, the pair were seen out and about for the first time together, going hand-in-hand at Glastonbury.

Days later, they went public officially at Wimbledon, with Mel C grinning as she cuddled up to the Aussie model in the crowd.

While it’s unclear how long the pair have been dating, news.com.au revealed earlier this year that Mel’s recent, extensive Australian DJ tour – her second visit to our shores within six months – appeared to double as an extended holiday for the couple.

Mel C wrapped up her Australian visit on May 16 with an Instagram post tagging the hotels she’d stayed at as she travelled the country, including Brisbane’s lush Calile Hotel and the super-private Qualia resort in the Whitsundays. Photos of Mel at those hotels show the star looking relaxed, posing solo in swimwear. The very same day, Dingwall posted an update to his Instagram account, sharing photos of places he’d stayed in the “last couple of weeks” – among them, the same hotels.

Mel briefly dated Robbie Williams, had a relationship with Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis that inspired a song on their album Californication, and also had an on-again, off-again relationship with former Five boy band star Jason “J” Brown.

She has a teenage daughter in a long-term relationship with her ex-partner, Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together.

After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.
