Spice Girl Mel C, 51, Looks Ageless as She Flaunts Fit Figure on Romantic Ibiza Holiday With Aussie Actor Chris Dingwall

Melanie C, better known as Sporty Spice, looked effortlessly youthful and fit as she soaked up the sun with boyfriend Chris Dingwall in Ibiza on Tuesday. The 51-year-old singer and her Australian actor beau were spotted enjoying a yacht day together, diving into the turquoise waters before relaxing with friends on board.

Wearing a sleek black bikini, Chisholm showed off her sculpted physique in a series of Instagram posts that also captured affectionate moments between the couple. The sun-soaked break is the latest glimpse into their relationship, which they made public at Wimbledon in July 2024 after quietly dating for several months.

A Leisurely Day In The Mediterranean

Sporty Spice and Dingwall spent the day cruising off the coast of Ibiza, swimming, socialising, and basking in the Mediterranean heat. Chisholm's swimwear shots emphasised her athletic build, while loved-up moments, including kisses by the water, drew praise from fans and followers.

Who Are Mel C And Chris Dingwall?

Melanie Jayne Chisholm, born on 12 January 1974 in Whiston, Lancashire, rose to global fame as a founding member of the Spice Girls, the best-selling girl group of all time with over 100 million records sold. Known as 'Sporty Spice' for her athletic image, signature tracksuits and high-energy performances, she went on to launch a successful solo career. Her debut album Northern Star (1999) achieved multi-platinum status and cemented her as a pop icon in her own right.

Chris Dingwall is an Australian actor, model, and filmmaker whose credits include the television series Ten Pound Poms and several short films such as The CNO. Based partly in Los Angeles, he has worked largely within the indie film circuit. Compared to Chisholm, Dingwall keeps a relatively low public profile, but the pair's shared interests in fitness, travel, and the arts have been noted by news.com.au and fan sites.

Social Media Moments

On Instagram, Chisholm's posts from the trip included affectionate exchanges with Dingwall. Earlier this year, he publicly wished her a happy birthday in January, prompting her to reply with 'My love', a rare public display of affection from the famously private star.

Why This Trip Feels Different

Chisholm has often kept her romantic life out of the spotlight, including her long-term relationship with ex-manager Joe Marshall. This getaway marks one of the most candid glimpses fans have had into her personal life in years, hinting at a shift towards sharing more intimate moments publicly.

Fans Celebrate 'Ageless' Sporty Spice

Supporters flooded her social media with praise, celebrating both her toned figure and the couple's visible chemistry. Admirers described her as 'ageless', 'timeless', and an 'inspiration', particularly to older fans who see her as proof that it is possible to maintain a strong, athletic physique well into your fifties.
