Why Eddie Murphey dumped Mel B? · 2007-04-26 15:37
Mel B still loves Eddie Murphy and is desperate to rekindle their romance, according to her best friend Christa Parker, Daily Mail reported.
Melanie Brown was introduced to Eddie Murphey by a mutual friend at a house party in Los Angeles in June last year.
The pair became inseparable after and within weeks of meeting were reported to have discussed marriage.
Mel to friend Christa “there was an instant attraction when she and Eddie met and she knew it was something special”.
The couple were inseperable and Mel spent much of her time at Eddie’s Hollywood mansion, but cracks began to emerge early in the relationship says Christa:
“Eddie was paranoid because of the 15-year age difference between them and he was afraid she was going to leave him.”
In August, Melanie announced that she was pregnant. “She was delighted. She hadn’t told Eddie yet, but when she did she told me he was over the moon,” her friend said.
But soon Eddie and Mel had a huge row after he refused to accompany her to a routine baby scan, he then informed her that she wasn’t invited to a huge black tie event that he was attending, Mel responded by moving her belongings out of his home.
Soon became clear that Eddie had no plans to return to Mel. She was crushed when, in a live TV interview, Eddie said: “I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test.”
Mel released an official statement which declared that there was “absolutely no question that Eddie is the father.”
Eddie then attended the premiere of his movie Dreamgirls with a new love, Tracey Edmonds and announced that they had been together “for about a month a half.”
Mel is devastated that Eddie has not been in touch since the birth of Angel. “Mel was upset that Eddie didn’t get in touch, she obviously still feels something,” Crista said.
“But she loves her daughter and is determined to make the best of things, with or without Eddie in her life.”
During an exclusive shoot with OK! Magazine, she told that she’d named her daughter “Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy… Iris, as it’s my grandma’s name, Murphy because he’s the dad and Brown because I’m the mum!”.
