On Sunday Brown posted another pic from the wedding in which she added a fuzzy crop jacket that read “Just Married” on the back.
According to EW, only one of Brown’s former Spice mates was on hand for the event, Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton, who attended along with models Cara Delevingne and Daisy Lowe. While Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm (aka “Sporty Spice”) did not make it, she also gave a shout out in the comments, writing, “So happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn’t be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon.”
Brown’s three daughters acted as bridesmaids; her eldest, Phoenix, 26, is from her first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar (1998-2000), second daughter Angel Iris, 18, is from a relationship with comedian Eddie Murphy and youngest, Madison, 13, is with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte (2007-2017). Brown and McPhee met in 2018 and announced their engagement in 2022.
