Looks like there is a baby on the way for Melanie Brown and Eddie Murphy. The former Spice Girl confirmed that she is definitely with child and currently four months pregnant. She says that the pregnancy is leaving her a bit tired and she does worry that she might be having twins since that runs in Eddie Murphy’s family.
This is Melanie’s second pregnancy. She has a daughter named Phoenix Chi from her previous marriage to guitarist Jimmy Gulzar. This will be Eddie Murphy’s 8th child. He has 5 children with his ex wife Nicole, one son with Tamara Hood and another son with Paulette McNeely.
This relationship actually came as quite a surprise to many. The couple met in June and immediately began dating. Eddie Murphy’s divorce had been finalized just that April, one of the Hollywood marriages that had seemed strong. Melanie Brown is better known as Scary Spice but hasn’t had much luck with her singing or acting career since the group broke up in 2001. Eddie Murphy is a well known Hollywood comedian. She’s from the UK, he’s from New York. They seemed to have nothing in common but they do seem happy.
Eddie Murphy’s brother Charlie says, “Eddie seems very happy with her, and that’s what’s important to me. He’s in a good place. If she does that for him then, that’s great.”
The couple is said to be getting married next month though representatives of Eddie Murphy refused to comment when asked about it.
