Last week, Brown, a Spice Girls singer, announced that she would be taking legal action if Murphy did not assume his parental responsibilities.
Two days later, Murphy told his spokesperson that he was assuming his responsibilities. In a press release he stated, "Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father," said Robinson. "Mr. Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort. He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy. "
Brown (known as Scary Spice), had to have a DNA test requested by the court to recognize the paternity for the four-month old baby girl, Angel Iris.
Brown and Murphy, 46, dated for four months in 2006. The singer always declared without any doubt that Murphy was the father of her baby.
