Spice Girl Emma Bunton to tie the knot with boyfriend Jade Jones after 20 years of dating
Spice Girl Emma Bunton and her long-time fiancé Jade Jones are reportedly finally get married after the singer was spotted giving notice of intent to marry.
The 43-year-old singer was recently seen entering the Enfield Registry Office in North London, where she applied for the official notice. According to reports, Bunton and boyfriend of 20 years, 40-year-old Jones, are scheduled to get married at celebrity favorite Old Marylebone Town Hall in London.
The venue has been used by famous musicians Sir Paul McCartney and Liam Gallagher for their ceremonies. A notice of intent to marry is a requirement to be completed at least 28 full days before any nuptials are exchanged by the couple, the Daily Mail reported. This notice is then valid for a whole year which means the couple could get married this year.
The couple got engaged in January 2011 after a 12-year relationship with each other. Bunton and Jones have two sons together — 11-year-old Beau and seven-year-old Tate. The couple first started dating in 1998 but separated a year later before getting back together for good in 2004.
The Spice Girl has spoken to Daily Mail in the past about marriage and said: "It would be nice, wouldn’t it? I should get round to it. He already calls me his wife and I call him my husband. We’re both Aquarians and a little disorganized, so we never get round to organize anything! I’m sure we’ll be one of those couples that elope somewhere."
Bunton also told the publication recently that a third child could be "on the table" as she confessed that growing their family is something that her fiancé "would love". Beau and Tate even appear in her new music video 'Baby Please Don't Stop' as her family and friends are at the core of the video.
The singer opened up about their plan to have a third child after she gushed about her friend Myleene Klass' recent pregnancy announcement. She said: "It's another thing that we've talked about. I think it's something that Jade would love. He's so wonderful with the kids. I think if we were lucky enough to..."
"You've gotta take that time and make sure. With my two, I left enough space that I could give them that time. But yeah, we have talked about it [having another child]. It's on the table. But, I'm not sure. I'm getting fit for the tour, I've gotta do the stadium, so I've gotta concentrate on one thing at a time," she said.
