Mel B, whose real name is Melanie Brown, made the following statement to the media, "I am obviously upset and distressed at some of the comments made by Eddie Murphy to the media". "I was astonished [by] what Eddie said there is absolutely no question that Eddie is the father."
For the past few days, Murphy has been asked about the paternity of the former singer’s baby. Earlier this week, Murphy said that a blood test would be necessary to determine the child’s father.
Eddie Murphy, 45, had been dating Mel B for a few months earlier this year. Just this week, Murphy attended the premiere of his film Dreamgirls with his new girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds.
"My main concern is for the well being of my daughter Phoenix and of course the baby."
