She is currently married, lives in London and still works in the music industry.

During the late '90s, articles about The Spice Girls rarely --if ever mentioned Stephenson. Since the group's first parting in 2000, Stephenson gets mentioned more often and a few of the Spice Girls themselves sometimes talk about her.

She has stated that she left the Spice Girls (six months after they had formed) because her mother got sick with breast cancer and she felt she needed to support her. Other Spice Girl members also state that Stephenson got along the --least well with them.

A few times when the Spice Girls group has just 3 or 4 members for a big event or tour that's announced (Victoria usually being the one out), there's been online petitions wanting Stephenson to join the group.
