Another quipped: 'OH MY GOD proposal on stage at #spiceworld2019 and Mel B says "make sure you sign a prenup" I'm obsessed'.
Mel B was locked in a bitter divorce battle which saw her pay to pay ex-husband Stephen Belafonte $350,000 in legal fees as their bitter court battle finally drew to a close.

The group are in the midst of their UK and Ireland reunion tour, they will also be taking Sunderland, Edinburgh and Bristol before arriving to London's Wembley Stadium.
But the tour has left some fans fuming and demanding a refund following a'disappointing' performance at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in Wales on Monday evening.
While some praised members Emma Bunton, 43, Geri Horner, 46, Mel Brown, 43, and Mel C, 45, for their 'incredible' and 'magical' set, others complained about the gig's 'wet' conditions and 'terrible' audio issues again, which caused angered viewers to leave the show prematurely.

This comes after many concert-goers were left furious following sound problems after the popular girlband kicked off their hotly-anticipated reunion tour with a bang in Dublin's Croke Park on Friday.
Following their first performance on Friday, which garnered both positive and negative reviews, Scary Spice Mel was the only member of the to address the backlash.
The mother-of-three uploaded a video to Instagram in which she admitted there were sound and vocal problems at the group's debut Dublin gig - and pledged to improve the sound quality for the next show.

After a fresh-faced Mel shared the candid video at 6am the day after the first gig on the reunion tour, her fellow bandmembers took to the photo-sharing site to gush over their performance and thank their 'supportive' fans.
Speaking into the camera whilst lying in bed, she appeared irked as she said: 'Hey guys thank you for attending our show tonight in Dublin. We will see you in Cardiff and hopefully the vocals and the sound will be much, much better.'
Fans anticipation was rife ahead of the concert, as it was the first time the band had taken to the stage as a group in seven years. Posh Spice Victoria Beckham declined to take part in the string of performances, with the band continuing as a foursome.

Earlier this month, Ginger Spice blasted rumours of a rift between her fellow Spice Girl bandmates as they prepared for their impending tour.
Hot on the heels of bombshell lesbian claims by Mel B, as well as Scary Spice's recent health woes, Geri was quick to dismiss the supposed drama, telling critics: 'You think, "Oh f*** off!"'
Speaking to The Sun, she revealed that they were all 'having a blast during rehearsals' and their relationship was 'really good and positive.'
She elaborated: 'Our relationship is really good. We’ve all been really positive, so it’s nice. It’s natural. I’m really happy, everyone’s happy.'
When asked if they would be celebrating during rehearsals, Geri explained: 'That’s exactly what we’ll be doing, with all of our imperfections, all our faults, but celebrate the good bits too. No one is perfect but it’s all fine. We’re having a blast. It’s an absolute laugh.
Meanwhile, Mel B is said to have bounced back to health after being rushed to hospital following her complaint that she was 'totally blind'.
Giving an update on the singer's health woes, a source has told PEOPLE: 'She’s doing fine now, she’s not blind. This has happened before. She has herpes in her eye, so this can happen.'
It was also added by the source that despite the singer, 43, complaining to doctors that she couldn't see, her 'eye is OK' and 'they've given her some drops and she’s good now. It was nothing major.'
