Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a glamorous reception at the Shangri-La venue inside London’s famed landmark, the Shard, which offers stunning views of the city.
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.”
