Either Melanie Chisholm (aka Mel C, aka Sporty Spice) was feelin’ left out as being the only Spice Girl to not give birth or mebbe she is trying to pull a Ricky Martin but in any case, she has announced that she has gotten herself knocked up and will be having a baby of her own:
Singer Melanie Chisholm says she is expecting a baby which will make her the last of the former Spice Girls to become a mother. The 34-year-old Mel C announced the news Friday on her Web site.

A message from Melanie
22 Aug 08
Hi Everyone
Some Happy News!
Well, I can now announce that Tom adn I are expecting a baby and we are very happy.
As I’m sure you’ll understand we needed time to wait for results and tell our families. Thank you all for your kindness, good wishes and support (even if it was based on speculation!).
You all know how much I value my privacy so I’m sure I can rely on you to respect that, particularly at this time.
I will be taking it easy but am also excited to start writing for the fifth album. I’ll need some time off to be a mum but, before you know it, we’ll be back.
Also, check back on the site over the next week or so … Uncles Paul, Greg, Nick, Scott, Vinnie (and me) are planning a UK gig somewhere ‘up north’ for a great cause (rocking out is not easy at the moment so it’ll be a full band acoustic gig).
Love
Melanie xx
Uhhhh, I had no idea that she had a partner, let alone that they have been together for 6 years. That’s pretty cool. I think it’s safe to say that many folks have had their opinions on Mel C‘s love life, me included, so this is a bit surprising but happy news. At last, all of the Spice Girls will now be Spice Moms. Much congrats and love to Ms. Sporty Spice!
I had no idea she had a “partner” either…much less that it a he…
I thought she was a lesbian.
I am so happy for her.
I knew she had a partner and thought this day would come earlier. You could always tell she felt left out when on tour. Everyone around her had children. I recently saw her here in Toronto not only on tour with the spice girls, but at a small gig she did back in May. She is a really great artist and I am sure she will be a really great mom.
i never thought i’d see the day when she had a baby…
I thought she was a lesbian, too. Maybe her “partner” is her gay BFF and they’re doing it Aiken style. Who knows? As long as she’s a good mom I guess we can’t complain.
Im so dissapointed. I thought she was playing for team lesbian…
But in any case, I still love her, and I am glad she is happy.
I always assumed she was gay too.
uuuuhhhhhhh……….
she fancies birds last i heard. oh well, nothing like playing for the other team (or not i guess) for you own reasons. a baby is a reason i guess. oh well, congrats to her :)
Yayy! The last Spice to…create a baby spice :D
I’ve personally never thought she was gay.
Hello? – Everyone knows she has been with that guy forever! … if she was gay she’s the kind of person who would just tell the world. Mel’s been answering the gay question in interviews for years. On another note: has she had her boobs done – surely not?

Aw.. wow. I thought she’d be single or secretly gay forever. Either way, congrats to her.
