Mel B. Secretly Marries Boyfriend

Scary Spice, Melanie Brown, secretly wed music producer boyfriend, Stephen Belafonte on June in Las Vegas.

Regarding the marriage that was first reported by the Perez Hilton website, Mel B.’s rep issued a statement saying, “…Mel and Stephen have known each other for many years and were great friends first. Now they are deeply in love. The two are very happy together.

Brown and Belafonte reportedly began seeing each other when Brown was still pregnant with Eddie Murphy’s baby. The 32-year-old singer describes the music producer as a “really a sweet guy” and has remained unbothered by all the media hype.

Mel B. was set to appear on CNN’s Larry King Live on Wednesday to talk about her new marriage and the paternity battle she’s having with former boyfriend Eddie Murphy. However, Brown canceled her night appearance because she and Angel, her baby, are sick.

Melanie Brown and veteran funnyman Eddie Murphy is in the middle of a sour paternity battle. It was last week that the singer-actress filed for petition to establish Murphy’s paternity to her baby. Consequently, a DNA test showed that indeed, ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy fathers the 4 month-old tot. Murphy then issued a statement saying he is acknowledging paternity of Brown’s baby and has mentioned paying child support. In view of Murphy’s response, Brown’s attorney said that what’s important to Mel is that the actor “sees his child, spend time with her, hold her, love her and bond with his daughter.

Last June, Mel B. and the rest of the Spice Girls have announced a reunion tour that is set to happen in December and January. It has been six years since the pop group split up on May 1998. The group was supposedly set to take the stage at the Concert for Diana. However, with Baby Spice Emma Bunton pregnant, the girls have chosen not to perform in the memorial show.
