Forced to sell her Hollywood mansion to meet her financial obligations in 2017, the star moved back to her hometown of Leeds in 2019, where she rented a luxury home. However, due to financial troubles caused by legal fees and payments to her ex-husband, Mel B was forced to move back in with her mother (pictured together here).

She told the BBC: "I wasn't just emotionally and physically abused, there was all the financial abuse too. I didn't realise that I didn't have as much money as I thought I had. So I literally had to eat humble pie, live with my mum."

Mel B announced in 2024 that she had purchased her own home. "I've been looking at houses on and off for the last couple of years, knowing I didn't have the money to afford them," she told the BBC. "But I just put my head down, worked, and lived frugally, and hence I've been able to buy my own house."

In other happy news, she recently married celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee in an intimate ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral, London.
