It’s the wedding of the year for Spice Girls fans, but not all the iconic girl group will be there when Mel B marries fiancé Rory McPhee this weekend at London’s historic St Paul’s Cathedral.
According to reports, two of her former bandmates, Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner, will not be among the guests when the big day arrives.
Fashion designer Victoria won’t be in the country at all. A source close to the star explained:
“Victoria has long-standing plans out of the country and she simply can’t be there. She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It’s a real shame. There is no issue between them, they haven’t fallen out. It’s just one of those things.”
Victoria and Mel B have remained on good terms despite their busy and very different lifestyles over the years, and friends say there is no bad blood over her absence.
However, it’s a different story when it comes to Geri Horner. Geri, formerly known as Ginger Spice, is reportedly skipping the ceremony due to her ongoing tension with Mel.

Their relationship has been strained ever since Mel B made headlines by claiming in an interview that the two women had an intimate relationship when the band was just starting out. The revelation reportedly left Geri feeling betrayed and embarrassed, and sources say the two have struggled to repair their friendship ever since.
While Melanie C and Emma Bunton are expected to attend the wedding and show their support for Mel B and her new husband, the absence of Victoria and Geri will no doubt leave some fans disappointed.
Mel B has spoken in recent years about her desire for all five Spice Girls to reunite, on stage and off, but these latest developments highlight just how complicated those dynamics still are.
Still, Saturday promises to be a joyful day for Scary Spice and Rory, who announced their engagement in 2022 after dating for several years. Fans will no doubt be watching closely to see which famous faces make an appearance on the cathedral steps.
