Mel C’s mystery man is her boyfriend, 25-year-old Cassius Colman, with whom she has been on “low-key dates in London” – after they were first seen in the photo holding hands in December.
According to The Sun, the former Spice Girl (49) is “in no rush” but seems to be in love with the handsome art gallery owner – following her split from music producer boyfriend Joe Marshall after seven years.
The pair reportedly first met while Cassius, who co-owns trendy East London gallery Nelly Duff’s, was working on Mel’s 1998 video When You’re Gone With Bryan Adams.
A source told the publication, “Mel and Cassius enjoy each other’s company and get along very well.
“She doesn’t rush things and they have enjoyed a few dates in London. Everything is going well and she looks very happy.”

MailOnline has contacted Mel C representatives for more information.
The new couple appeared in high spirits and even stopped for a hug on their snowy December walk when they were first photographed together.
Single mother Mel held hands and looked at Cassius with admiration as they walked on a treacherous, icy road.
With freezing temperatures in the English capital, the singer wore a black quilted jacket and matching hat for her most recent public appearance.
Black sweatpants and a pair of chunky winter boots completed the look, while thick gloves kept her hands warm as she hugged her male companion.
Last year, Mel admitted she joined dating app Hinge after splitting from ex-boyfriend Joe Marshall.
The Spice Girl apparently swore off famous dating apps like Raya to sign up to the more humble Hinge.

Speaking on the Not My Bagg with Joe & George Baggs podcast in October, the singer revealed she’s not having much luck.
She told the hosts, “What’s up with Hinge?” I’m single, and I look around, it’s slim.
“It seems like there are a lot of hot girls out there, but all hot guys are gay.
Mel was previously in a seven-year relationship with Joe, but the former couple confirmed their split last summer.
After the split, it was claimed that the star was “not afraid of being single” as their romance was hampered by busy schedules.
According to The Sun, a source explained her free time is limited and Mel hopes to spend all her free time with daughter Scarlet, who she shares with former property developer Thomas Starr.
The source describes Mel’s incredibly busy career between her book deal, DJing and raising her daughter Scarlett, 14.
MailOnline reached out to Mel C’s representatives for comment at the time.
Mel and Joe were known to keep their relationship under the radar despite living together – with the singer acting as stepmother to his two daughters.

Long-term: Mel started dating the music producer in 2015 – the couple shared a home in North London
The singer started dating the music executive in December 2015, and after their romance grew stronger, she also made him her manager.
The brunette said of Joe in an interview with Closer in 2016: “He challenges me, but respects and loves me. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a relationship where someone supported me.
Mel previously referred to her split with ex Thomas in 2012 and admitted it was her daughter who caused it.
Speaking on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the wannabe hitmaker said: “I make big decisions. It was hard to leave her father, but I wasn’t happy and she wasn’t happy, and it wasn’t the environment I wanted my child to grow up in.”
