Mel B Shows Off Baby Madison For The First Time!
Posted on September 20th, 2011 at 11:20 am by Nick Crew
Two weeks ago Melanie Brown gave birth to her third child, a beautiful baby girl she named Madison. But despite little Maddy being the former Spice Girl’s third daughter, Mel has expressed how this time around, things are different and she puts it all down to her wonderful hubby, Stephen Belafonte.
Speaking to exclusively Hello! magazine in the UK, the 36 year-old has said that she feels she has ’finally done it right,’ after her two failed relationships with the fathers of her other daughters, Jimmy Gulzar and Eddie Murphy.
She said: “Ideally you want to have your loving partner who you’ve created this baby with by your side throughout everything, and in Angel and Phoenix’s cases, that wasn’t the set up.”
She tells the magazine that giving birth this time around was completely different, and how she finally felt she had a partner to go through the whole experience with, referring to Stephen as, “Someone to come to every appointment with’ and ‘get excited by every scan.”
The happy couple posed proudly in the current issue for the first time with baby Madison who was born earlier this month weighing in at six pounds and two ounces. Mel has described the latest addition to the family as ‘such a chilled baby’ and calls her ‘so gorgeous.’
Well Mel, they say third times a charm and it seems to me that you and Stephan are proof of that…Congrats to you both!

Brit reality show fever strikes again!
Mel B (aka Scary Spice) will be the focus of what is being described as a “docu-comedy” reality series developed for the US cable channel Style Network. The skein will follow the so-called “hilarious” lives of Mel, hubby Stephen Belafonte (a movie producer), and her two daughters as the family co-exists in Los Angeles.
The show is scheduled to be shown in the US this September and across the pond at a later date. President of the Style Network Salaam Coleman Smith said: “Mel B is confident, hilarious, and outrageously entertaining.”
She added: “We love that Mel has evolved her image and sought new challenges throughout her career while also taking on the ups, downs that come with motherhood and marriage.”
Mel recently attendedthe premiere of Shrek Forever After with former partner and baby-daddy Eddie Murphy, after their very messy split in 2007. Footage of that premiere is expected to feature in an episode of the as of yet untitled show.
Uhmmm… does Mel’s new affiliation with the Style Network mean that someone thinks she has style? (Rude!) At least no one can deny the girl is entertaining, but I wonder if she has what it takes to carry an entire reality show…
Well, given the stiff competition from other upcoming reality shows like fellow Brit – former wild-child Emma Ridley’s (pictured) outrageous new show Spoiled Rotten, the former Spice Girl will have to prove she’s something worth watching on the telly…
It’s happy families for Mel B and Eddie Murphy…For now!

Mel B and Eddie Murphy haven’t exactly stayed on friendly terms since they split up in 2006. In fact, they were well known for slagging each other off in the press – especially when Eddie disputed the paternity of Mel’s youngest daughter, Angel, and Mel had to prove it with a paternity test. It was like something from the Maury show!
But it looks like things are less frosty between the pair these days, and they even turned up to the Shrek premiere in LA yesterday – although they weren’t photographed together.
Mel attended with husband Stephen Belafonte, her daughters Phoenix Chi, 11, and Angel, 3, and Stephen’s daughter Giselle, 6, while Eddie arrived with seven of his children from previous relationships.
And apparently Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, who has five children with the comedian, is behind the reconciliation. She wanted her kids to get to know Angel so befriended Mel and encouraged them to be friendly. Good for her!
A source told the New York Daily News that Eddie has been making an effort recently to see his youngest daughter.
‘While promoting Shrek Forever After, Eddie talked a lot about his kids. Ever since, he’s been making efforts with Mel to get to know their daughter.”
The source added: “Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole helped them reconcile their issues, too. Angel is Eddie’s youngest child, and Nicole wanted her children to know her. That helped Eddie to come around and get past all the animosity he had toward Mel.’
I hope the pair can keep their differences resolved for the sake of the kids and stop trash-talking about each other in the papers. Maybe Eddie ‘n’ Mel should tweet Demi, Ashton and Bruce for some advice – they’ve got the happiest divorce in Hollywood so must have a few pointers on keeping things civil!
