Mel B is loved-up with husband Stephen Belafonte as they holds hands on lunch date in New York

The America’s Got Talent judge has been busy in the Big Apple but made time for her hubby

Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte are stronger than ever as they held hands before heading for a late lunch together in New York.

The X Factor judge looks as if she’s recovered from the illness at the end of the last year, as she stepped out looking pristine with the film producer.

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte hold hands while out and about in Soho in New York City, New York on January 15, 2015.

“Late Afternoon dinner date with my baby @Stephenthinks1 in NY awwww,”she happily tweeted with a selfie of the couple on the streets of New York.

It looks as if the couple have shrugged off the drama that surrounded their seven-year marriage, where Stephen was forced to deny domestic abuse claims.

Mel, dressed in black with a slick centre-parting, is set to join fellow judges Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Howard Stern for Season 9 of the hit talent show.

During the day, Mel teased her fans by posting a picture of her wearing a figure-hugging dress.

The snap, which shows just how amazingly slim she is, was meant to promote the 39-year-old's appearance on The View on Monday.

However many of the singer's 989,000 Twitter followers seemed to ignore the hype and instead just admired the former Spice Girl's appearance.

And who could blame them as the X Factor mentor rocked the pink dress from the comfort of her dressing room.

One user wrote: "@OfficialMelB my word you are looking good"

While another chimed in: "@OfficialMelB love you and ur hot baby hot I tell you."

It's the second time this week that Mel has left a lasting impression while she's staying in New York City.

Earlier this week the mum-of-three looked absolutely insatiable as she left the Rockefeller Center in a lacy green outfit .

Despite weather conditions in The Big Apple making it a chilly outing, Scary Spice had no fear as she flashed her legs in the earthy ensemble.

The Leeds native has been doing a fair amount to prove that all is well in her personal life, with her choice of clothing being the most recent example.

In the last few weeks alone we've seen the dark-haired beauty put on a number of loving displays with her husband Stephen Balfonte as they continue to mend the perception of their relationship.

Perhaps the couple's most obvious united front came when they appeared together with their kids at the Paddington premeiere .
