She told Hello!: “Emma cried, so did Mel C. Everyone was happy for us and said ‘We love Rory, he’s amazing’ and they all sent congratulations.
“I care about their opinions and it’s really special to me that they like Rory so much because they’ve never liked any of my friends and they’ve made it very clear.
“They actually pushed me about Rory forever before we both got romantic, but I said to them, ‘It’s not like that; he’s just a really good friend who makes me feel safe.’

Rory popped the question to Mel with a £100,000 diamond ring at the luxury country hotel Cliveden House in Berkshire.
According to The Sun, Mel B was “overwhelmed” when Leeds-born hairdresser Rory fell to one knee and burst into tears of joy.
The publication reports that he then held out a £100,000 ring consisting of a pear-shaped champagne-colored diamond set on a rose gold band.
An insider told the outlet Mel immediately said “yes,” adding, “But it was incredibly emotional because after everything she’s been through, it was a really big moment for her.”
She added: “I take care of hers [Spice Girls] opinion and it’s really special to me that they like Rory so much because they’ve never liked any of my friends and they’ve made it very clear.
Another source shared how Mel is “so happy” about the engagement, adding, “It took a lot for a man to make her trust him and believe in love again.
“He’s the complete opposite of so many of the guys she’s had relationships with,” and explains how he showed her that men can be “caring, trustworthy, and dependable.”
“He really took the time to understand what she was going through. He’s madly in love with her.’
The insider described Mel’s fiancé as a “normal, down to earth guy with good morals” and insisted he wasn’t interested in fame.
They also revealed the two have known each other for many years as they are both from Leeds and Rory is best friends with Mel’s cousin Christian Cooke.
The publication reports that Mel’s eldest daughter Phoenix, 23, was the first person she told about the engagement, with her other friends and family reportedly being “over the moon,” while all of the singer’s other Spice Girls have already met “and like’ her future husband.
Closing: The couple have been said to have been together since 2018 when they met through friends in LA, but things turned more serious the following year when Mel returned to the UK for the Spice Girls Reunion Tour (pictured alongside Mel’s closest friends and family in June 2019 )
