Mel, 50, flaunted her sensational physique and hardcore abs in the sexy swimwear, while sharing multiple smooches with the Australian hunk.

Chris, who is believed to be in his 40s, showed off his muscles in grey swim shorts and wrapped a towel around his shoulders to dry off after a dip in the ocean. 

The loved-up couple couldn’t take their hands off of each other during their romantic getaway.

Mel went public with her new man in June at Glastonbury Festival and the pair have been inseparable since.  

Signed with Ford Models and Chadwick, Chris from Sydney, NSW, travels the world for glamorous photoshoots.

An online biography for the model explains that Chris has ‘over 20 years of print, commercial and film work with some of the worlds best brands’ under his belt.

Chris is also an actor, writer and director for film and television, having helmed a handful of shorts, including the St Kilda Film Festival entry Oasis, in which he also starred.

He additionally directed two episodes of the Australian miniseries Brock, about car racing legend Peter Brock, and has a number of upcoming film projects in post-production.

It’s unclear where the pair met, but Mel embarked on an extensive DJ tour in Australia back in May.

Mel, who had a fling with Robbie Williams in around 1997, keeps her love life largely out of the spotlight but previously spoke about how she was banned from dating in the early days of the Spice Girls – while her bandmates were free to pursue romances.

‘Looking back what struck me was it was one rule for one and another for the others, right?’ she said.

The cute couple were inseparable on their romantic trip

‘I think when you are vulnerable as well, people go, I don’t think it’s good for you’.

Mel said the rule for the other women was, ‘she is fine, she can have a boyfriend, she can cope with having a boyfriend, she is strong enough but you are not’.

‘It makes you question yourself when you are already vulnerable,’ Mel added.  

Mel revealed she joined dating app Hinge following her split from her producer ex-boyfriend Joe Marshall in 2022.

The star swerved celebrity dating apps such as Raya in favour of signing up for the more humble Hinge.

Mel was previously in a seven-year relationship with Joe, but the former couple called it quits in the summer of 2022.

Speaking on the Not My Bagg with Joe & George Baggs podcast, Mel revealed although she has joined, she wasn’t having much luck.

She told the hosts: ‘What is it about Hinge? I’m single, and I’m having a little look around, it’s slim pickings.

‘There seem to be loads of hot girls but all the hot guys are gay.’

Mel began dating Joe in 2015 – with the pair even living together in North London.

Following the split, it was claimed that the star was  ‘not afraid to be single’, as busy schedules got in the way of her romance.
