The newlyweds can be seen standing face-to-face while looking into each other’s eyes in front of a floral arch.

Following her surprise announcement, several friends and followers flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages and well wishes for the couple, including Bunton’s Spice Girls bandmates. “Congratulations, love u both so much!” commented Victoria Beckham.

Another Spice Girls member, Mel C., congratulated the couple, saying, “Yeahhhhhh! Congratulations, love you all sooooooo much,” followed by a heart emoji. For her part, Holly Willoughby wrote, “Awww my beautiful Baby! Stand up, Mrs. Jones… Love you both…”

Bunton, popularly known as Baby Spice, had been in a relationship with Jones for 21 years before finally tying the knot earlier this week. They started dating in 1999 and got engaged in 2011, the same year they welcomed their second son. The couple has two sons, Tate, 10, and Beau, 13.

In an interview with The Guardian last month, the 45-year-old singer revealed that her best kiss was her first with Jones. “It was at Mel B’s house in Leeds a very long time ago and it was very passionate,” she told the outlet.

Born in London, Bunton rose to fame after becoming a member of the Spice Girls. She currently has a weekly program on Heart FM and is a presenter at The Great American Baking Show. Earlier this year, she published her first book, “Mama You Got This.”
