Former Spice Girl Mel B and her Film Producer husband Stephen Belafonte are reported to have made the decision to renew their wedding vows after agreeing a £200,000 deal with a glossy celebrity mag.

The couple wed in June of 2007 in a covert ceremony, which the brides mother admitted that even she was unaware of, and news of their secret wedding did not surface until around September 2007.

Mel also known as Scary Spice and Stephen had been friends for years, but began dating shortly after Mel’s very hostile and much publicised split with Hollywood star Eddie Murphy.

It is believed that the new Mr & Mrs Belafonte had always intended to host a more lavish and open wedding ceremony after the Spice Girls world tour had concluded.

Under the terms of their celebrity magazine contract the couple are said to be planning an extravagant ceremony at during which they will renew their wedding vows in a luxury resort in Egypt. It is also reported that the magazine deal has specified that they must invite a number of celebrity guests to the occasion.

Speaking recently of her apparent wedded bliss, Mel said:-

“I think marriage agrees with me - I’m happy all the time! We’re the best of friends, which I think is one of the most important things in a successful marriage.”
