Australian model and filmmaker Chris Dingwall married Mel C in a picturesque countryside wedding in England over the weekend. The celebration was bittersweet for Dingwall, as his mother, Kerry, was unable to attend following her death in late 2024.
Kerry Dingwall passed away after a battle with Parkinson's Plus, a group of neurological conditions. Chris Dingwall announced her death on Instagram in January 2025, sharing family photographs and remembering his mother as a loving, kind, generous, and thoughtful person. He described her as a "truly beautiful soul" and "fiercely loyal" mother, grandmother, and partner. The family shared their last Christmas together before her passing.
Dingwall's brother, Scott, also posted a tribute on social media, emphasizing his mother's special nature and the impact she had on many lives.
The wedding ceremony took place at the Country House Cumbria venue, with guests including Spice Girls members Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, and Geri Halliwell-Horner. Mel C's daughter, Scarlett, served as a bridesmaid. The event was momentarily interrupted when a herd of cows approached the ceremony.
This wedding in England follows a private, legal ceremony the couple had in Dingwall's hometown of Sydney. This marks Mel C's first marriage, making her the last of the Spice Girls to wed. Mel C and Chris Dingwall met in 2023 through the dating app Raya and began their relationship despite a long distance between London and Sydney. Dingwall became an inspiration for songs on Mel C's recent album, "Sweat." In early 2025, Mel C had hinted at wedding plans, telling The Times that while she hadn't anticipated marriage, she was happy with Chris.
