Mel was greeted by an office worker, and grabbed a diet coke before heading into the building. 

Her appearance comes after Mel broke her social media silence in the wake of her messy split from husband Stephen.

The former Spice Girl took to Twitter on Monday to share an article by Billboard magazine regarding a record breaking win for Adele with her 21 album - with the share being a blatant disregard of her troubles.

It emerged earlier this month that the star is splitting from her husband, from whom she was issued a restraining order last week, as she had made allegations of abuse towards the producer atop claims of infidelity.   

Mel B has remained relatively silent in the face of the reports although court documents have revealed the intricacies of the case, with stunning allegations coming from both sides in the demise of their 10 year union. 

Opting to shun a statement, the Leeds-born beauty instead threw her support behind fellow UK songstress Adele as she shared the Tweet reading: 'Adele's "21" has broken the record for longest-charting album by a woman on the #Billboard200'.

Just hours before, Stephen finally broke his radio silence on his divorce battle, insisting that he will fight for custody of his kids. They have been embroiled in a toxic battle since she filed for divorce on March 20.

Having cited 'irreconcilable differences', Mel has since been granted a temporary restraining order, alleging a litany of abuse throughout their marriage.

Now talking to the Sunday Mirror about the divorce battle, Stephen has admitted that he is ready to fight for his children after Mel asked for full custody of their five-year-old daughter Madison.

He told the publication: 'They are the only things that matter to me.' Although declining to give his version of events, he vowed that his children were the only thing that were important to him during this time.

He divulged: 'I’m going to have to get off the phone because family court frowns on that. It is in the hands of my lawyers, My kids are the only thing that matter to me.'

Despite having daughter Madison with Mel, he also acted as step-father to her two other girls, Phoenix Chi, 18, from her relationship with Jimmy Gulzar and nine-year-old Angel with film star Eddie Murphy.

The LA native also is father to 13-year-old Giselle, who he welcomed with former partner Nicole Contreras.

His frank admission comes after lawyers for Mel B have been granted a court order barring her estranged husband from releasing any sex tapes or photos of the America's Got Talent.

The order was issued in court on Friday after Mel claimed the nanny Belafonte allegedly got pregnant while she worked for the couple was holding the sex tapes hostage, TMZ reports.

Way back when: New documents filed by Mel's lawyers claim that when she left their home after filing for divorce last month, Belafonte locked 12-15 boxes filled with his estranged wife's possession in a storage facility in Los Angeles

New documents filed by Mel's lawyers claim that when she left their home after filing for divorce last month, Belafonte locked 12-15 boxes filled with his estranged wife's possession in a storage facility in Los Angeles.

The boxes contain photos of her deceased father and her Spice Girls memorabilia.

Belafonte has allegedly refused to reveal the location of the locker, which is being held under the name Lorraine Gilles - the German nanny accused of having an abortion following an affair with him.

'He [Stephen] has admitted to me that our former nanny, Lorraine Gilles, maintains possession and control over the media such that I could never have anyone locate the tapes so as to obtain and destroy the same,' Mel claims in the court documents.

'I believe that Lorraine Gilles and Stephen Belafonte are acting in concert to deprive me of my personal belongings by either destroying or disseminating said belongings.'

Mel's lawyers argued in court that Belafonte has been threatening to release the tapes to destroy her reputation and career. 

The judge ordered Belafonte not to release any sexually explicit material of his estranged wife, but he has not yet ruled on Mel's request for him to turn over the location and combination of the locker held in Gilles' name.
