Mel B gave fans a glimpse inside her romantic honeymoon in Mauritius with her husband, Rory McPhee, on Thursday as she missed the Spice Girls reunion.
The Spice Girl, 50, and her husband Rory, 37, are currently staying at the luxury five-star Shangri-La Le Touessrok resort, where rooms cost from £500 per night.
The luxury resort offers fine dining, beautiful beaches, water and land activities, and a relaxing spa.
In one sizzling snap, Mel B flaunted her incredible figure in a revealing green dress, as she cosied up to her husband on the beach.
Meanwhile, Rory looked handsome in a white shirt, left partially unbuttoned to reveal his chest, and black trousers.
Mel also shared a sweet video of herself and her husband giggling away as they posed for a glam evening snap together.

Mel's honeymoon snaps came as she was notably absent from the Spice Girls reunion this week, amid her bitter falling out with Geri Halliwell-Horner, 53.
However, she recently said she is keen for the band to get back together.
During the reunion, Victoria Beckham, 51, finally rejoined the group for a singalong after refusing to go on tour in 2019.
Amid the furore over her family fallout with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, the fashion designer joined the group to sing Viva Forever in the dining room of her London home - 30 years after the band first got together.
While the ladies sang their harmony, Victoria's son Cruz, 20, strummed away on the guitar, while his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, sat at the table and the family's personal chefs watched on through glass doors from the kitchen.
Showing the funny side of the family, son Romeo, 23, commented underneath: 'Sounds like they’ve done something like this before', to which Cruz responded: 'they kinda sound like little mix no?'.

Victoria has been dropping hints that she might do something with the band, uploading a clip of herself singing a live acoustic version of one of their biggest hits and reuniting with Emma Bunton on her 50th birthday, Mel C, 52, and Geri last month.
And David Beckham, 50, appears to have caught Spice Mania as he posted a love heart to his wife on the new video, which comes after it was revealed that Brooklyn has removed tattoo tributes to his parents, inlcuding the word 'Dad' on his arm.
The ladies have been teasing the fact that something is in the pipeline for some time.
Mel C appeared on Good Morning America in November to promote her ninth album Sweat and was grilled if the Spice Girls would come back together.
Crossing her fingers, Mel said: 'I remain optimistic. It's our thirtieth anniversary next year. We toured in 2019, we did a few stadium shows in the UK and it was incredible.
'We're just so proud of the legacy that we have and we have fans now from new generations are just loving the Spice Girls so I would like to get back on stage with the girls.
'We're talking and we're seeing what opportunities are out there. The thing that stops us is we feel so precious about it, we want to make sure it's the right thing and agree on the right thing.'
Mel also admitted she will always pine for another Spice Girls reunion, this time with Victoria included.

She said: 'It was the most beautiful experience as a Spice Girl. I think because so much time had passed that we were all very present and really could appreciate what this thing meant to so many people.'
'It was such a joyous experience. We were just able to take it in for the first time and enjoy every minute. I feel emotional because I'd love to do it again.'
Scary Spice was seen liking a clip about the band getting back together.
The clip was a segment from the Shouldn't Laugh But… podcast where host Laura Smyth suggested Victoria could divert attention away from the 'PR disaster' of her son's statement by getting the group back together.
Fans saw Mel B's like as a signal that there be plans for a Spice Girls reunion in the works after years of rumours.
Speaking directly to Victoria, Laura said in the podcast clip: 'There is only one way on this earth you will ever come back from this PR disaster.
'Three words. Spice Girls reunion. It will eclipse it all and I want you there. I don't want four of them. I want all five.'
Mel B and Geri are said to have had an ugly falling out which has scuppered new projects.
Reports emerged in 2024 that Geri has derailed a huge TV drama deal which would have netted each of the five members £1million each.
She was also said to have pulled the plug on plans for a new Spice Girls reunion tour and a Netflix documentary for the band's 30th anniversary at the time.
Sources had said that the 'nightmare' fallout between Geri and Mel B left the band unable to find a manager capable of 'mediating' to push projects over the line.
The feud began when Mel confessed she had a lesbian fling with Geri during the band's 90s heyday on Piers Morgan's chat show in 2019.
Geri denied the affair took place, with Mel accused of dreaming it up to sell copies of her tell-all memoir, Brutally Honest.
Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full
I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.
My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.
My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.
We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
