Transcript

It's April 1st.

Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI.

I'm Cory with the story.

Mel B, the Spice Girl, and America's Got Talent Judge, just opened up about how her romance

with husband Rory McFee kicked off.

She wasn't thinking wedding bells or more kids back then, just some fun.

They'd known each other forever as family friends from the same village, but things turned

romantic in 2018.

She laid it out straight to him at first.

No girlfriend label, no marriage, no kids, look elsewhere if that's what you want.

Her past marriages to Jimmy Golzare from 1998 to 2000 in Stephen Belafonte from 2007

to head, her gun shy.

When her family heard the news, they were stunned.

Aunties and uncles couldn't believe it was quiet, reliable Rory catching her eye.

Everyone saw him as the safe, low-key type who keeps to himself.

What clicked for them was the shared roots, same humor, same accent, that easy village

vibe.

Mel B even compared it to her friend Heidi Klum, marrying Tom Callitz, another match

from the same hometown dialect that just works.

Sounds like sometimes the best connections come, from right under your nose.

Having homegrown love can surprise you in the best way.
