Mel B Says Eddie Murphy Is The Baby Daddy

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown insists ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy is the father of the baby.

"I am obviously upset and distressed at some of the comments made by Eddie Murphy to the media. I have no idea why anybody would want to conduct themselves in this kind of manner about such a personal matter in such a public way.

"My main concern is for the well being of my (seven-year-old) daughter Phoenix and of course the baby. I was astonished at what Eddie said – there is absolutely no question that Eddie is the father."

The U.K.-born Brown, 31, was on a plane from England to Los Angeles on Monday when an interview with Murphy aired on the Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard. In the interview, Murphy was asked about Brown and her pregnancy.

"We're not together anymore," said Murphy, 45. "And I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test."

Brown only learned that her relationship with Murphy had ended when she landed in Los Angeles and received voicemails from friends telling her about the TV interview.

A friend adds, "it's fairly simple. She hasn't slept with anyone else."

Someone call Maury!
