Mel B and her rumoured boyfriend Rory McPhee have been spotted taking charge of a dog walk together as they train their new Rottweiler guard dog.

The pair looked deep in concentration as they trained the new addition to the family, with the Spice Girl bringing along her tiny Yorkshire Terrier Cookie for the outing in Leeds.

Mel, 46, and Rory, 33, who were joined by two dog trainers, both rocked casual outfits, looking deep in concentration as they focused on their canine companions.

While the singer held Cookie in her arms, stylist Rory took charge of the Rottweiler, holding him close on a lead.

Mel was first linked to Rory in 2019, although they were reportedly dating for a while before that – but this is the first time they’ve been since together since the reports emerged.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘[Mel] hasn’t stopped smiling recently… sparks flew between them two years ago, but they have upped the ante by going public.

‘At the wedding they looked so happy together, Mel isn’t looking for a serious relationship, and Rory is very easygoing, so they are keeping things very casual and chilled for now.’

Earlier this year, the star, who moved back from Hollywood to her hometown of Leeds, spoke out about the new relationship but didn’t name her partner, explaining she wanted to keep the romance out of the public eye.

Asked by Good Morning Britain host Adil Ray about her partner, Mel became coy.

She said: ‘Where did that come from? I’ve learnt, I am keeping my private life private. I think that’s the best thing for me.

‘But yeah I’m with somebody who is very kind, very honest, very loving and that’s what I need. I need somebody understanding.’
