Mel B will be walking down the aisle at St Paul’s Cathedral on Saturday
Her third try at marriage.
The 50-year-old, who has been married twice before, is tying the knot with hairstylist Rory McPhee, 37, who pals say is as “un-showbiz as they come”.
“It’s why everyone thinks that they get on so well… and why he is so good for Melanie,” says one confidante.
“He doesn’t come from that fake, entertainment world. He is down to earth, family orientated and just a normal bloke.”
Their connection runs deep, all the way to childhood. Mel’s cousin Christian Cooke and Rory were friends at school, and he has “always been on the outer edges of her life”.
The pal said: “It’s why this is almost certainly going to be a happy ever after. It’s as if the universe was just waiting for them to properly connect and fall in love.”
Other friends of the singer have described Rory, who works at his family run Leeds hair salon, as “not your typical alpha male” that Mel has been attracted to in the past.
They added: “He is humble, kind, cooks roast dinners for her… It’s as far removed from her usual type that you can imagine.”
