Mel B put on a loved-up display with her fiancé Rory McPhee on Friday.
The Spice Girls singer, 49, celebrated her own birthday just two days before her partner turned 37 and took to social media to share a romantic post of them holding hands.
She wrote: 'Happy hapyyyyyyyy birthday my luvvvv!!!! your are so so spcecial to me I cant wait to spend rest of our life together
'Always having this much fun laughing and doing our thing.' [sic].
The post comes while the I Want You Back singer is at the centre of rumours that she and some of her bandmates were left 'furious' this week after unflattering details from a conversation emerged in court documents.

Mel, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton are said to have been left red-faced after a private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case.
According to The Sun, Mel B told her bandmates Geri and Emma that 'charity doesn't pay the bills', during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig.
The publication reported that the leaked messages - which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States on Wednesday - have infuriated the stars.
It is expected that the embarrassment will continue over a catty exchange between the three band members over their now close-pal Victoria Beckham.
While the group are seemingly thick as thieves again now, there is apparently a string of emails gossiping about the way Victoria acted at the Viva Forever! West End musical premiere on December 11, 2012.
The fashion designer delayed the curtain call of the West End musical based on the Spice Girls' biggest hits by 15 minutes after getting stuck in traffic.

Once she arrived, she decided to set separately from the rest of the group, taking her seat two rows behind the other women with her husband David and their kids.
According to the publications insider, Victoria's snub did not go down well with Mel B in particular.
Mel allegedly responded: 'Why? My texts are fine,' before adding: 'Like I said charity doesn't pay the bills everyone knows that.'
The source said: 'This is highly embarrassing for the girls as it doesn't exactly chime with their core messages. But obviously it was a fair few years ago now and they've all kissed and made up since then.
'Just look at how happy they were together celebrating Victoria's 50th birthday back in April, belting out their greatest hits together after a few drinks. The hatchet is well and truly buried.'
