The America’s Got Talent judge previously opened up to PEOPLE in 2024 about how her relationship with McPhee, 37, first blossomed.
According to Mel B, the hairstylist is a longtime friend of the family, but it wasn’t until 2019 that the two connected on a romantic level. At the time, she was adamant she was never getting married again.
“I was like, ‘I’m never going to get married again. Never, never, never. I’m never having a relationship. I’m fine by myself. I want to raise my kids, put my head down and work, and that’s it,’ ” she told PEOPLE. “And then … never can say never, can you?”

McPhee officially popped the question during a getaway in 2022. “He said, ‘I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,’ ” Brown revealed on the British TV series Celebrity Gogglebox at the time.
“There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel — which was Cliveden,” she added. “It was very romantic.”
