The female judge of 'America's Got Talent' is romantically linked to the 'Say You Won't Let Go' hitmaker after they met on the television singing competition.

AceShowbiz - Mel B or Melanie Brown and James Arthur reportedly enjoyed a secret romance.
The pair met when James performed on "America's Got Talent" back in 2017, when the Spice Girls star was a judge on the show, and apparently hit it off right away.
However, both parties were reportedly keen to keep their relationship secret, and made the decision to not interact on social media so as not to garner attention.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Mel met James soon after her marriage ended while she was working in L.A. on 'America's Got Talent'."
"James was single at the time and they hit it off instantly," they continued. "They had a wild fling and loved spending time together, but it ended respectfully."
Mel has not dated seriously since her split from ex Stephen Belafonte, although her relationship with bandmate Geri Horner in their '90s heyday dominated the headlines over the summer after she revealed their lesbian tryst in an interview with Piers Morgan.
Meanwhile, the "Wannabe" hitmaker is the second "The X Factor U.K." judge James has dated, after he also enjoyed a romance with pop star Rita Ora back in 2013.
He is currently thought to be dating his backing dancer Jessica Grist.
