Bunton plays down marriage rumours

Emma Bunton has played down rumours that she will marry her long-term boyfriend Jade Jones.

The Spice Girl, who has a son with the ex-Damage singer, told Closer that she doesn't need to walk down the aisle to justify her ten-year relationship with Jones.

"We've been rumoured to be engaged about 20 times, but we don't need a wedding to justify our relationship," she said. "But if we ever do get married, I couldn't run off and do it in secret - my family would be so upset".

The 32-year-old confessed that she may wait until having another child before thinking seriously about marriage.

"I'd love to have more children - but I'm sure two's harder," she commented.
