Mel B's wedding was 'traditional'

Mel B's wedding was a "traditional" affair. The Spice Girls star tied the knot with hairdresser Rory McPhee earlier this month and the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral has been likened to a "royal wedding". A source told HELLO! magazine: "It was like a royal wedding as there were so many people waiting outside, and it was all very warm, very establishment, very traditional; there is an aspect of Melanie that is very traditional." Mel and Rory were both reduced to tears as they exchanged their vows at the ceremony that was attended by a mixture of family and friends. The source said: "Melanie was calm but also emotional all day. "She cried in the church when they were saying vows, as did Rory. The atmosphere was really lovely and warm, very happy. "There was a mix of family and friends from years gone by, people from charities she has worked with, members of her hair and make-up teams and some of the dancers from the recent Spice Girls tours." Mel, 50, was said to have been delighted with how the ceremony panned out. The insider explained: "It all went really smoothly. "Melanie was telling everyone how she was so happy and was just mingling and mixing with people, trying to say hello to everyone. It was just a really beautiful day." Emma Bunton was the only member of the Spice Girls to attend the wedding on July 5 but Melanie C took to social media to reveal that she was "beyond gutted" to have missed out. The 51-year-old singer wrote: "So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee! (sic)" Victoria Beckham was also absent from the ceremony but took to social media in support of her bandmate – who will enjoy a second wedding with Rory in Morocco later this summer. She posted on Instagram: "Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx (sic)" In a separate upload, the singer-turned-fashion designer described Rory as a "very lucky man". Victoria said: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx (sic)"

Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher performed at Heaton Park with their Oasis bandmates last night and the crowd included Mel B, her husband Rory McPhee and some of her family Newlyweds Melanie Brown and Rory McPhee were among the fans at Oasis ' latest gig at Heaton Park. It had been rumoured that the couple would 'snub' a honeymoon abroad this week for the chance to see the reunited band together. Former Spice Girls member Mel, 50, and hairstylist Rory, 37, celebrated a week of marriage yesterday after exchanging vows in a wedding ceremony last week. They tied the knot at St Paul's Cathedral in London last Saturday, with them surrounded by family and friends at their nuptials. ‌ A week on from their wedding, they were at Oasis' gig in Manchester last night. The band, which includes brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, took to the stage at Heaton Park for the second of their five gigs there. ‌ Mel and Rory, who are thought to have been together since 2018, were joined at the concert this weekend by her eldest child, Phoenix Brown, 26. The trio attended the gig alongside actor Christian Cooke, 37, who is Mel's cousin. Melanie met Rory through Christian, whose acting credits include films like Cemetery Junction (2010) and the newly released Disney+ miniseries Rematch. He's reportedly been close pals with Rory since they were in school. ‌ The group documented their trip to Heaton Park on Instagram. Mel, Rory, Phoenix, and Christian have each shared posts from the experience, giving their respective followers an insight into their time at the concert together. It included Mel sharing footage of herself sitting on Rory's shoulders as Oasis performed Wonderwall during the gig. The couple were seen singing along to the song as Phoenix and Christian, who were standing beside Rory, did the same. ‌ Mel opted to upload the video on her Instagram Story without a caption. Her husband Rory however told his followers when he posted it on his page on the platform earlier today: "Fun night with the fam at @oasis Heaton park." Christian shared a series of posts from the crowd last night. It included him telling fans that he had previously watched Oasis perform at the same venue 17 years ago, with him saying in his post that it was "good to be back". He also uploaded footage of himself and Phoenix enjoying the band's performance of Rock 'n' Roll Star whilst the family were at the concert.

Whilst at the concert, Mel bumped into fellow singer Rick Astley. She shared a photo of them posing together backstage at the venue. Rick also took a photo with actor Orlando Bloom, who was also in the crowd at the gig, too.

Nicola Peltz and her in-laws closer than ever amid tense Beckham family rift

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have sensationally fallen out with his family since their 2022 wedding - but it seems they get on like a house on fire with her side of the family Much has been made of the tense fallout between Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham against his family. The couple married in a lavish ceremony in 2022 under happier times, with all of 26-year-old Brooklyn's family present and correct at the nuptials. But soon after, rumours began to emerge of a rift between the couple and his famous parents; the former footballer David Beckham, 50, and former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham, 51. More recently, family dramas reached a new peak as speculation erupted that Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, had fallen out with his brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20 - while many fans noticed the couple seemingly snubbed David's 50th birthday celebrations. ‌ While the dramatic fallout continues to generate headlines, some fans have questioned how Nicola gets on with her other in-laws. As the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, 83, and his model wife Claudia Heffner Peltz, 70, the Transformer star is one of eight siblings. ‌ She is the sister of brothers Matthew, 40, Will, 39, Brad, 35, Diesel, 27, twins Zachary and Gregory, 22, and a sister named Brittany, 31. With her brothers and sister also enjoying high-profile romances, it is claimed that Nicola gets along much better with her side of the family than with the Beckham clan. Here we look at Nicola and Brooklyn's friendships with some of her extended family. ‌ Will Peltz and fiancée Kenya Jones TV and film fans may recognise Nicola's older brother Will, 39, who has starred in big and small screen dramas including Men, Women & Children, Entourage, and Euphoria. Where there has been no drama, however, is between Will, his fiancée, and his younger sister. He has been in a relationship with American fashion model Kenya Kinski-Jones since 2011 - and in recent weeks they became engaged. They shared the happy news on social media, with Kenya writing: "Just engaged. My whole heart for my whole life," with Nicola enthusiastically adding: "Best news ever!" It is believed Nicola - who has a matching tattoo with Will which reads "family" in Hebrew - and Kenya are very close friends. They attended The Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards in 2016 and have holidayed together, along with Brooklyn and Will in 2022. ‌ In 2024, when Kenya's father Quincy Jones died at the age of 91, Nicola was one to offer her condolences. In an emotional Instagram post, she wrote: "Quincy, my heart is shattered I can't comprehend saying goodbye to you so I won't, I will say see you later." Nicola continued: "You were truly a gift from God. The legacy you have left here on earth is not only your musical genius that has touched the hearts of millions of people, but the most beautiful children that you raised - the Jones family, my family - I am so beyond grateful to know them. Quincy, I can't believe I got lucky enough in this life to grow up knowing your love, wisdom, laughter and light. The twinkle in your eye perfectly matched your smile and lit up this world. Your humour was unmatched, and you made me laugh more than anything. I miss laughing with you. "I love you so much q I will miss you every single day and everyday I will be reminded of your beauty through your unbelievable children. I promise to look out for Kenya for the rest of my life. She is my chosen sister and has your magic running through her. Love always your pita." ‌ Zach Peltz and girlfriend Aislinn Carnes Nicola's youngest brothers are twins Zach and Gregory and while they are professional ice hockey players, they generally keep themselves out of the spotlight. However, some details of Zach's private life - and his closeness to Nicola - have been revealed. He is in a loving romance with Instagram model Aislinn - with the pair occasionally posting loved-up snaps together. The pair shared a photo of their NYE kiss in 2023 and another snap showed them with their arms around each other. ‌ Their posts draw attention from the Peltz family who like the snaps and offer rare comments. In one post shared at Thanksgiving, Nicola responded with a string of heart eyed emojis to a photo of her brother and his girlfriend snuggled together. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports: "Brooklyn is fond of Zach and Aislinn as the four have previously spent time together in fun-filled images." Bradley Peltz and former flame Selena Gomez ‌ Fans looking for proof that Nicola is able to balance her family loyalties with close friendships - the evidence they seek is in her continued friendship with pop singer and actress Selena Gomez. While the Only Murders In The Building star is now engaged to music producer Benny Blanco, she was previously linked to former ice hockey player Bradley, 35. Brooklyn is also close to Selena, and the trio has been known to spend time together socially. Selena even celebrated Thanksgiving with Brooklyn and Nicola one year, with fans noting that Brad was also present at the celebrations. The Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast previously delved into the speculation about Selena and Brad back when rumours of a romance were ablaze. ‌ One fan claimed: "Streets saying Selena Gomez dating Brad Peltz omg." And another commented: "Selena is dating Brad Peltz?" - while fans also noted how frequently the pair were liking each other's social media posts. Selena began her relationship with Benny in 2023 and became engaged at the end of last year. Nicola and Selena also follow each other on Instagram. ‌ Matthew Peltz and Hallie Dunn Nicola's oldest brother, Matthew, has been married to his wife, Hallie Dunn, since 2018, and the couple welcomed a son in 2020. The couple keep themselves largely out of the spotlight, but it is believed Nicola is close to them and loves being an aunt to toddler nephew Asher Lion. Nicola shared a social media snap about the growing family not long after Asher arrived, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. She wrote online at the time: "Watching my big brother and his beautiful wife Hallie become new parents is incredible ,especially during this scary time. I hope all the new parents and babies are safe." Nicola's other siblings, Brad, Diesel and Gregory, are very fame shy, but fans could expect Nicola and Brooklyn to be closer to them than they are to his family. While Nicola and Brooklyn wished his sister Harper Seven Beckham a happy birthday earlier this month, it has been noticed that they have unfollowed Cruz and Romeo, fuelling speculation that the rift between the family members may be terminal.

The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year. Geri set up the firm in 2021 and launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen two years later. In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire. There are no such concerns withher main company, Won-derful Productions, which earned £2.16m in 12 months. Geri also has a jaw-dropping £440million net worth between her and Christian. When Christian's sexting scandal was exposed in February last year, Geri put on a very public show of support for her husband - despite it reportedly leaving her "heartbroken" and "utterly humiliated". She was by his side for the beginning of the Formula One season in Bahrain, with the couple pictured hand in hand, cuddling and even seen sharing an intimate kiss before the race.

"I haven't legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport." But the bombshell news of Christian's Red Bull sacking yesterday has reportedly prompted Geri to speed up her plans to claw back her own identity. It comes amid Geri's hopes of a Spice Girls reunion for the girlband's 30th anniversary next year. A source revealed: "She's totally focused on her writing career with kids books and is trying to get the series made into a film. "Meetings in Hollywood have happened and she's really pushing that. She'll have her head down and be focused on trying to make more of a name for herself there." Christian was the longest reigning F1 boss after becoming head honcho of the Austrian team during its inception in 2005. Allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him in February 2024 by a female team member were dismissed following a three-week internal probe. He was accused of sending suggestive WhatsApp messages, in texts that were leaked a month later in March 2024. He denied the accusations throughout.
