Two became one on Tuesday as Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm enjoyed a passionate kiss with hunky Australian boyfriend Chris Dingwall during their summer break in Ibiza.
The singer, known to millions as ‘Sporty Spice,’ revealed her incredibly taut physique in a black bikini as she frolicked with her love interest aboard a rented yacht.
Mel, 51, appeared to be in the shape of her life while diving into the Mediterranean during a cruise along the Balearic party island’s rugged coastline.
Indeed, the British star’s muscular figure was more akin to that of an Olympic athlete as she let her hair down with Dingwall and an extended group of friends.
The DJ couldn’t keep her hands off her shirtless man as she topped up her tan in her swimwear and showed off her many tattoos.
Enjoying the water sports on offer from the boat she was seen trying out a kayak and taking a dip while going makeup free and letting her brunette locks loose.
Two became one on Tuesday as Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm enjoyed a passionate kiss with hunky Australian boyfriend Chris Dingwall during their summer break in Ibiza
The singer, known to millions as ‘ Sporty Spice,’ revealed her incredibly taut physique in a black bikini as she frolicked with her love interest aboard a rented yacht
While it remains unclear how the couple met, they confirmed romance rumours last June when they attended Glastonbury together.
Chris – who stands at around 185cm tall – is a model who has also tried his hand at acting, writing and film directing.
In July, Mel also cosied up to her new partner as they enjoyed a day out at Wimbledon in south west London.
The singer keeps her love life largely out of the spotlight but previously spoke about how she was banned from dating in the early days of the Spice Girls – while her bandmates were free to pursue romances.
‘Looking back what struck me was it was one rule for one and another for the others, right?’ she previously told Australia’s The Project.
‘I think when you are vulnerable as well, people go, I don’t think it’s good for you’.
Mel said the rule for the other women was, ‘she is fine, she can have a boyfriend, she can cope with having a boyfriend, she is strong enough but you are not’.
‘It makes you question yourself when you are already vulnerable,’ Mel added.

The Viva Forever singer was previously in a seven-year relationship with producer Joe Marshall.
They began dating in 2015 and lived together in North London. The duo called it quits in the summer of 2022.
Later that year, Mel revealed she had joined the dating app, Hinge.
Last month it was reported that Simon Fuller – the man who managed the Spice Girls, created Brand Beckham and helped found Victoria Beckham’s fashion empire – is keen to organise a tour to mark the group’s 30th anniversary next year.
He has the support of Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton, and has spent more than a year trying to win Geri Halliwell-Horner round to the idea.
A source told The Mail’s Alison Boshoff: ‘Geri isn’t interested in stepping foot on a stage again.’
So the plan she agreed to was for Abba-style avatars of the girls, which would ‘perform’ in concert.
But Victoria is being left out of discussions and will not be part of the virtual line-up.
A source said: ‘Simon Fuller planning a tour has caused yet another schism. Victoria is f****d off that they have gone with him and there is no way that she will be a part of it.
‘The bad feeling seems to go back to her and David having to spend millions on buying him out of Beckham Brand Holdings. He still has a stake and board seat on her fashion business. There is resentment there.
He jumped off the side of the boat to cool down
She smiled as he took on the backflip
‘Geri wants to do the avatars idea. She isn’t interested in coming back and doing a tour. She doesn’t need to. This is the one idea which Simon has had which has tempted her.’
The source added: ‘Simon Fuller is the only person who could get Geri to rejoin the Spice Girls, but he is the one person in the world who could never persuade Victoria.’
No wonder only Mel C and Emma Bunton went to Mel B’s 50th birthday celebrations in Leeds earlier this month.
All of the ‘girls’ showed up for Victoria’s 50th birthday last year, but it seems that they are in separate camps once again.
