Mel B has revealed that the Spice Girls like her new husband, Rory McPhee, because he makes her a 'nicer' person, as she shared a rare insight into married life.
The Spice Girl, 50, who is known as Scary Spice, wedded the celebrity hairstylist, 37, in July 2025 at St. Paul's Cathedral in London after getting engaged in 2022.
And now she has revealed that Rory's thoughtful nature has been rubbing off on her and that her bandmates agreed during their reunion tour in 2019.
She told the publication: 'On the last tour, all the girls were like: 'You're so much nicer when Rory's around.'
'If I'm in a bit of a mood, he will sort it out. And maybe I'm more thoughtful as he's so thoughtful.'
Some of his thoughtful moments included a handwritten book, containing romantic notes and photographs, to read when she is feeling insecure.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Mel also credited Rory for 'making her believe in nice guys again' as he understood how ADHD and dyslexia impacts her day to day life.
Mel shares Phoenix, 27, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar. The former couple separated in January 2000, with their divorce finalised in June that year.
The star is also a mother to Angel, 18, who she welcomed with Eddie Murphy and Madison, 14 who she shares with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.
After divorcing Stephen in 2017, she began a friendship with Rory and later a romantic relationship.
In her interview with the magazine, Mel clarified that Rory 'feels different' to her previous husbands as as she said it feels 'real and honest'.
Despite them having different interests day to day - Mel admitted she loves to sit in front of the TV while she described Rory as a 'doer'- he knows her 'inside out' and they share the same 'wishes, wants and desires'.
Her interview with Hello! comes after she admitted that she may never perform with her former bandmates again.
Mel found fame alongside band members Victoria, 51, Mel C , 51, Emma Bunton , 50, and Geri Horner , 53 in 1996 before eventually splitting in 2001.
And now she has revealed to Hello Magazine that Rory's thoughtful nature has been rubbing off on her and that her bandmates agreed during their reunion tour in 2019.
They reunited in 2007 for a world tour, followed by a performance at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony and later a 2019 UK tour as a four-piece without Victoria.
As well as scrapped reunion plans, Mel also seemingly dashed hopes for the group's proposed Netflix documentary as she took a swipe at her bandmates, who 'did not want to be honest' on screen.
She said: 'I can tell you [a reunion] is not happening. If it does, it'll be a shock to me, let's put it that way.
'When I look at that [2019 tour] and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time... I'm 50.
'You can't be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don't want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.'
While Mel gushed over her 'incredible bond' with her bandmates, she admitted that even if they proposed a late in the day reunion, she was unsure if she'd join them.
She told Hello: 'I honestly don't know. I've got a lot of respect and love for those girls. I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for me being part of the Spice Girls. They've done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I've got fond memories, but I don't know if I would want to go back up on stage.'
Mel then went on to address rumours of the Netflix doc, following in the footsteps of David and Victoria's films.
'I think we've all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point,' she says. 'But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest - and not everybody wants to be honest.'
Mel C herself confirmed that there was no reunion in the works, as she told The Smallzy Show on KIIS Radio: 'No, there is no reunion. We are communicating all the time. We want to do something - who knows when.
'But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.'
There was also a rumoured Netflix drama about the band in the works, but Reports emerged in 2024 that Geri has derailed the huge deal which would have netted each of the five members £1million each.
Sources had said that the 'nightmare' fallout between Geri and Mel B left the band unable to find a manager capable of 'mediating' to push projects over the line.
The feud began when Mel confessed she had a lesbian fling with Geri during the band's 90s heyday on Piers Morgan's chat show in 2019.
Geri denied the affair took place, with Mel accused of dreaming it up to sell copies of her tell-all memoir, Brutally Honest.
