Mel B and Stephen Belafonte’s 2015 is off to acheery start. Over the weekend, the couple looked happier than ever as they posedfor a selfie while driving around Los Angeles.

Mel and Stephen wed in 2007 in Las Vegas then had a bigger ceremony a year later in Egypt

Mel tweeted to her fans, “Driving round LA with my baby@Stephenthinks1 happy Sunday fun day everyone.”

This is quite contrary to how their 2014 ended. The two wereplagued with split rumors for a good part of last month after the singer wasforced to pull out of one of the X Factor UK’s final shows after being rushedto the hospital. Mel later spoke out to deny claims that Stephen physicallyabused her.

“I’m very good was very polly [SIC] but much better now andfor the record my hubby never would lay a hand on me,” the singer wrote in an Instagram post on December 28. “Sorry took so long but any response fuels rumors#lovemyfamily #lovemyfans.”

Stephen also took to social media to refuteany claims. “I don’t usually respond to Twitter msgs but I will respond tocomments of hitting my wife which I think are quite disgusting, untrue,” hestated. “Mel was very ill a bunch of doctors helped her get better if fans can’tjust relax B4 being negative they r not real fans of @OfficialMelB.”

In a recent interview with our sister publication HELLO! UK,Mel even gushed about Stephen. “I looked right in his eyes and I knew this wasthe one man for the rest of my life,” she said. “He’s the first man I’ve evertrusted, he’s my rock and he’s the beginning and end of who I am.”
