She told Hello!: 'Emma cried, so did Mel C. All of them were delighted for us and said, "We love Rory, he's amazing" and they've all sent congratulations cards.
'I do care about their opinion and it's really special to me that they like Rory so much, because they've never liked any of my boyfriends and they've been quite clear about that.
'They were actually pushing me towards Rory for ages before the two of us became romantic, but I'd say 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 £100k diamond ring at luxury country hotel Cliveden House in Berkshire.
According to The Sun, Mel B was 'overwhelmed' when Leeds-born hairdresser Rory got down on one knee, and burst out crying with tears of joy.
The publication is reporting that he then held out a £100,000 ring consisting of a pear-shaped, champagne-coloured diamond set on a rose gold band.
One insider told the outlet that Mel said ''yes'' immediately, adding: 'But it was incredibly emotional because after everything she has been through, it was a really big moment for her.'

She added: 'I do care about their [Spice Girls] opinion and it's really special to me that they like Rory so much, because they've never liked any of my boyfriends and they've been quite clear about that'
Another source told how Mel 'is so happy' with the engagement, adding: 'It has taken a huge amount for a man to get her to trust him and to believe in love again.
'He's the absolute opposite of so many of the guys she had relationships with,' explaining how he has shown her that men can be 'caring, trustworthy and reliable.
'He has really taken the time to understand what she's been through. He is madly in love with her.'
The insider described Mel's fiance as 'normal, down-to-earth guy, with good morals' and insisted that he isn't interested in fame.
They also revealed that the pair have known each other for many years, with them both being from Leeds and Rory being best friends with Mel's cousin, Christian Cooke.
The publication is reporting that Mel's eldest daughter Phoenix, 23, was the first person she told about the engagement, with her wider friends and family said to be 'over the moon,' while all of the singer's fellow Spice Girls have already met 'and like' her future husband.
