Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, opened up about how she found love in a digital age.
During her performance at Life uncut podcast with hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne, the 51-year-old singer revealed she met her partner, Australian model Nick Dingwall, on exclusive dating app Raya back in November 2023.
“No one knows this, but we actually met at Raya,” Mel C admitted.
“I don’t know how much to divulge, but I was in a relationship before.”
Reflecting on her mindset after the breakup, she admitted, “I never want to meet anyone again.”
But after some nudging from friends, she decided to give the app a try.
“We wanted to go through [Raya] to see if there were any hotties in there — see what celebrities we could spot, which is always fun,” she joked.
Mel C was in London when she matched with Dingwall, who was all the way in Sydney.
Apparently that distance initially worked in her favor, she said: “I’m like, ‘Well, he’s definitely not under my feet.'”
With a DJ gig already booked in Australia, she took a chance and made plans to meet him.
After a long day of travel, she had her dinner date with the model, who had booked a popular spot in Sydney.
“I didn’t want to let the guy down,” she admitted. “And we’ve been together ever since.”
