90s pop icon stuns on island getaway with Aussie boyfriend
The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall.
The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the holiday on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini – and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of esctasy use in dance music.
Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section.
'Seeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,' one longtime fan wrote.
'Gorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,' wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton.
'You're both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,' another fan gushed. �
Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick.
The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays.
Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday.
Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven's music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke.
She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video.
Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians in the late 90s and early noughties.
She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with 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.
