Eddie Murphy is father of Spice Girl's daughter · 2007-06-23 18:52
A DNA test has confirmed US actor-comedian Eddie Murphy is the father of the newborn daughter of former Spice Girl singer Melanie Brown, a report says.
Brown, 32, gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown in April and listed Murphy as the father on the child’s birth certificate, but the star of movies like Beverly Hills Cop and Dreamgirls has never publicly acknowledged paternity.
Earlier this month, media outlets reported that Murphy, 46, had taken a DNA test.
Brown's representative, Liza Anderson, told US People magazine that the DNA test results confirming Murphy's paternity were given to Brown on Thursday (US time).
Murphy's spokesman declined to comment, ABC News reports.
Brown, who dated Murphy last summer, was "Scary Spice" in the 1990s all-girl British pop group that scored hit songs such as Wannabe.
Members of the group have scheduled a news conference for Thursday, sparking speculation that they will reunite for a tour and album.
