Fringe benefits: Mel B steps out in Beverly Hills on Thursday amid reports she may move her family to Australia
She has shed her pregnancy weight, got a new haircut and is selling her house.
Now it seems Mel B may be packing up and moving her family from Los Angeles to Australia after falling in love with the country, according to a local newspaper.
The 36-year-old former Spice Girl was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills on Thursday night looking svelte, with much shorter hair.
Out with the old: Mel B showed off a sleeker silhouette left, compared to her curvier look in a tight gold dress back in November last year
Her extra long, curly extensions were replaced with a straighter, shoulder-length choppy cut and a fringe that made her look almost unrecognisable.
The new look comes as the Courier Mail in Australia reports that the singer is thinking of making the country her permanent home.
Mel - who gave birth to her third child, Madison, in September - worked there for much of last year as a judge on the country's version of The X Factor.
Fringe benefits: Mel B steps out in Beverly Hills on Thursday amid reports she may move her family to Australia
According to the newspaper she rented a penthouse apartment worth more than $8 million in Rose Bay, New South Wales.
The loft apartment boasts impressive views of the local landmarks, including the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Earlier this week it emerged that she has put her $3.45 million California home on the market sparking rumours that she may be trading in the French country-style chateau for a place in Australia.
Mama: Mel B with two of her three children, Phoenix and Angel, and their friend in February 2011
The singer's Australian manager said: 'Yes, they have their LA property on the market. They are looking at houses in Los Angeles, but are also considering Australia.
'Mel and her family all fell in love with Australia and the Aussie way of life.'
The pop star has three daughters - Phoenix Chi, 12, Angel, four, and four-month-old Madison.
Mel's life seems to be mirroring that of her former band mate Victoria Beckham, who recently appeared on a Tokyo magazine cover with a blunt fringe.
Mel had previously admitted she had a horrible time in LA after an affair with funnyman Eddie Murphy ended in a bitter court battle.
Doomed match: Mel B and Eddie Murphy dated in 2006
Her former lover Eddie Murphy failed to acknowledge he was the father of their baby daughter.
She said being pregnant with Angel Iris was a 'horrible time'.
Beverly Hills Cop star Murphy, 49, initially denied he was the father of the tot, born in April 2007. But a DNA test later confirmed that he was the father.
Murphy was been ordered to pay £35,000 a month until the 22-month-old girl reaches 18 - a total of about £7million.
California living: The singer lived in the French-style house with her husband and three daughters
Both women had their babies within months of each other and both have been rumoured to be leaving the US for another country.
David Beckham had been offered a place at Paris St Germain football club but turned the opportunity down to stay in Los Angeles.
Last week the midfielder confirmed his family will remain in California while he plays for LA Galaxy for another two years.
