According to the book, McPhee worked on the singer's hair while she was rehearsing for the Spice Girls' 2019 tour, and when the COVID-19 pandemic began, they started staying together. The pair got engaged in 2022, with McPhee proposing during a romantic weekend and telling her "that he had been to my father's grave to ask his permission to marry me." According to the book, when Mel B's mom heard the engagement news, she said, "Oh well, third time lucky."

In the dedication section of "Brutally Honest," the singer thanked McPhee "for showing me there is such a thing as real love."

5 Bob Haircut Trends Everyone Is Asking For This Summer
courtesy of spoke and weal NY Here's the thing about a good haircut: It only takes one photo to spark inspiration. If you're feeling a little lost this summer, we're here to help. Bob haircuts are particularly fun because if you've been a Refinery29 reader for a while you know, we appreciate the often imperceptible but critical details that make an Italian bob different from a French bob (the former is more cropped to the ears, and the latter is often structural and includes a bang). Here, we're breaking down the top bob trends of the moment — for summer 2025 — in hopes that they might inspire your next appointment. Find our predictions with imagery for you to save and expert styling advice, ahead. Carved bob View this post on Instagram A post shared by Spoke & Weal (@spokeandweal) The technique used to create a carved bob gives the hair a very lived-in look, "similar to when you cut hair using a razor," explains hairstylist Amanda Lee. The cut, which is purposefully grown-out with tapered ends, was popular in 2018 and 2019 and is seeing a resurgence. "It's a creative cut based on removing weight and creating layers that provide lift and movement into the hair," explains hairstylist Cassadi Currier. Flipped bob View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lindsey Neavitt (@lindseyneavitt901) Many stylists track the origins of the flipped bob back to the '60s. "It had a very retro feel," explains Lee. "Jackie Kennedy is the first name to come to mind when I think of the flipped bob." There's an innate elegance to this style but it's pretty versatile. The current variation is cut short, maybe slightly asymmetrical, and has some polish. For styling, Lee recommends using a hot brush (like the Mane Medium Hot Brush, $98) to give your hair a good flip on the ends and a smoothing balm (she prefers the Emi Jay Angelstick, $38) to polish any flyaways. Fluffy bob View this post on Instagram A post shared by DECEMBER FULLY BOOKED (@hairbyanaiss) A fluffy or "soft-sweeping layered bob" is a modern favorite among stylists. "It's one of my favorite types of bob haircuts," says Currier, "and I love that most of them have a deep-set side part." Lee considers the fluffy bob a modern version of a classic cut. "The fluffy bob is really just a modern take on the classic bob shape, giving it more volume and movement," she says. To style, she recommends a big round brush, a round brush blow dryer, or a round brush attachment (if you're using a Dyson). Japanese bob View this post on Instagram A post shared by 菊池 洵 / 美容師 (@jun__kikuchi) "The Japanese bob is also a chin-length bob that really hugs the curvature of the face," says Currier. "This bob is usually parted in the middle and has gorgeous sweeping layers that go away from the face with blunt ends." The name comes from the country of origin and inspiration. In Japanese hair salons, this is just a short bob. For styling a Japanese bob, Currier recommends using a flat iron and "beveling" sections, curving the hair under. But for the pieces around the face, "you're going to want to direct the flat iron forward in the opposite direction and sweep backward towards the ear to give a bit of a curved, sweeping look to the fringe," she explains. Bitchy bob View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenna Perry Hair Studio (@jennaperryhairstudio) This bob is fun. It's polished, one-length, and hits right at the corners of the mouth. It has some high-fashion edge and attitude, which is likely why hairstylist Jordan Luger at Jenna Perry Salon in NYC calls it the "bitchy bob." If you're thinking of inching up this summer, this is a charming way to go about it.

Gofundme The film star previously lost two of her uncles to addiction, sources told the outlet. Page was found dead in her Hollywood home on June 25.

Instagram/@therealkyliepagex 'Kylie was a daughter who loved hard, a sister who never let go, and a friend who showed up without being asked,' the fundraising page said. 'She was the kind of person who made you feel like family — no matter who you were. 'We lost her too soon, and now her family is trying to bring her home from California to the Midwest — to lay her to rest surrounded by friends and family.' Page's body has been released, according to the LA medical examiner.

Jake Paul, Mike Tyson bet big money on Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have come together to make a friendly (albeit expensive) wager on the highly anticipated Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano trilogy fight. Paul on Monday posted an Instagram video of a Facetime call in which he proposes a $1 million bet that Tyson, as he appears to be smoking a blunt, gladly accepts. Paul backs Serrano, while Tyson is Team Taylor. As it stands, the odds are in Paul's favor to win the bet – but not by much. According to DraftKings, Serrano is a -175 favorite, with Taylor listed +140. Tyson, however, has history on his side as Taylor has won their two previous fights. In 2022, Taylor edged Serrano by split decision. Then last November, the two put on an instant classic as the co-main event to Paul vs. Tyson, with Taylor winning a hard-fought unanimous decision amidst some headbutting controversy, which resulted in a nasty cut over Serrano's right eye. Taylor vs. Serrano 3 takes place Friday night from Madison Square Garden and will serve as the headliner to an all-women's boxing card that streams on Netflix boxing.
