She’s endured a very difficult few months, following her acrimonious split from husband Stephen Belafonte.
But Mel B was in better spirits than ever on Thursday, as she made a playful arrival at Hollywood Burkbank Airport from Las Vegas with hairdresser BFF Gary Madatyan.
The former Spice Girl, 42, could not stop herself from beaming as she danced and laugh with her long-time friend outside the terminal – in a jumper ironically emblazoned with the phrase: ‘Living the dream’.

While she added white trainers to her feet, Mel maintained a usual hint of glamour by slinging a sleek nude handbag over one shoulder, and accessorising with trendy sunglasses.
She opted for minimal make-up, to draw attention to her radiant complexion, and pulled her hair back into a pink sports cap as she left the terminal.

Mel has been keeping a low profile in recent months, amid her difficult and lengthy divorce from Stephen.
The pair allegedly came to a settlement in early November – which included joint legal custody of their daughter Madison, six, spousal support and the eradication of compromising videos.

However, her ex recently accused Mel of ‘breaking’ their agreement – by preventing him from selling their lavish $9.6million home in Los Angeles.
New allegations suggest Mel is blocking Stephen’s access to the property they agreed he could repair, unload and sell, at the end of last month.
According to TMZ, Stephen has ‘been in contact’ with a realtor who is in connection with a potential buyer – set to offer more than $6million (£4.4m) in cash for the Hollywood Hills abode.

However, the site also claims Mel has since hit back about having to pay her ex a six-figure sum during their three-year agreement.
TMZ reports the former Spice Girl is paying Stephen a huge $15,000 a month – which totals to $540,000 by the end of their settlement – as well as an additional $200,000 for his legal fees.
Mel and Belafonte married in 2007 but the singer filed for divorce in March this year, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and claimed domestic abuse.
Mel is also mother to daughter Phoenix, 18, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, whilst Belafonte has daughter Giselle, 12, with ex Nicole Contreras.
