Baby Splice
Emma and Jade to wed after 20 years
SPICE Girl Emma Bunton is set to marry her partner Jade Jones after 20 years together.
The loved-up couple will get spliced at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall – a favourite wedding venue for the stars.
Emma, 43, was seen dashing into Enfield Register Office, North London, to kickstart the nuptials.
She and pop star turned chef Jade, 40, gave notice of intent to marry and they have 12 months to make things formal.
They got engaged way back in January 2011. The pair have two sons – Beau, 11, and Tate, seven – and Emma spoke about the prospect of marriage in 2017.
She 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 disorganised, so we never get round to organise anything! “I’m sure we’ll be one of those couples that elope somewhere.”
Emma and Jade are the latest in a long line of stars to tie the knot at Old Marylebone Town Hall.
BROODY
Sir Paul Mccartney and Liam Gallagher both wed there – TWICE. Emma, meanwhile, has hinted another child is on the cards. Only last week she said she is always broody, loves being a mother and thinks it would be “wonderful” to have another child.
She said: “Never say never. I’ve always been very maternal and I love being around children.
“I think if I’m lucky enough that would be something wonderful.’
Emma spoke ahead of the release of a new solo album, called My Happy Place. Jade, who was lead singer with boyband Damage, helped produce the album and duets with Emma on soul classic You’re All I Need To Get By, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
Emma also duets with Robbie Williams with a new version of the Spice Girls’ hit 2 Become 1.
And there is no let-up in the months ahead.
In May she is off with Spice Girl pals Mel C, Mel B and Geri Horner on their big reunion tour.
