Although Mel B has long maintained that Eddie Murphy is the father of her baby, and science has also proved that Eddie Murphy is the father of Mel B's baby, Eddie Murphy still had difficulties believing that he was the father of Mel B's baby.
Not any more, though – through his spokesman, Eddie Murphy has for the first time confessed that, yes, he is the father of Mel B's baby Angel Iris. Not just that, but Eddie Murphy insists that he paid for all of Mel B's pregnancy costs and has been contributing child support for the baby. But not even an admission of paternity is enough for Mel B – she says she doesn't care about the money and just wants Eddie Murphy to hold baby Angel and love her. After all, there's no deeper bond in life than the one between a daughter and the man who knocked her mother up, left her and then refused to believe that the baby was his until he was legally pressured into taking a scientifically-accurate gene analysis that unequivocally determined the paternity, is there.
It takes a brave man to admit he's wrong, and Eddie Murphy is nothing if not a brave man. After all, only a brave man would give the serious performance of a lifetime in Dreamgirls only to scupper any hope of winning by releasing hilariously lowest common denominator 'Eddie Murphy in a fatsuit' comedy Norbit two weeks before the Oscars and then mark the inevitable resulting non-win by storming out of the Oscars like a girl. Oh, and it's quite brave to admit that Mel B's baby is yours when you've already told most of Holland that it isn't in a confusingly casual way. And that's the situation that Eddie Murphy is in now.
As you all know by now, Eddie Murphy and Mel B last year got involved in a whirlwind relationship of matching tattoos and baby-making that ended as suddenly as it began, only with more lawyers and stuff involved. But not even when Mel B had her baby and gave it Eddie Murphy's name would Eddie Murphy admit that the baby was his. And not even when Eddie Murphy took a DNA test and the DNA test proved that Eddie Murphy was the father of the baby would Eddie Murphy admit that the baby was his.
But now Eddie Murphy is engaged to a good, obviously less startlingly loud, woman he's decided to finally own up and admit that he is the father of Mel B's baby. MSNBC reports:
Murphy, 46, “always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father,” according to a statement released Friday by his publicist, Arnold Robinson. “He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel and has paid child support to Ms. Brown, as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy,” Robinson said.
But that's not enough for Mel B any more – to Mel B, fatherly responsibilities involve more than just a truckload of cash each month. Fatherly responsibility involves forging a deep unbreakable bond between father and child. And lots of hugging. And the occasional trip out to 'help' daddy's transsexual prostitute 'friends' get 'home'. Again with the MSNBC:
“He has not indicated in his statement or to us that he plans to visit the baby,” attorney Gloria Allred said Saturday. Brown’s primary concern is that Murphy “see his child, spend time with her, hold her, love her and bond with his daughter,” Allred said.
Eddie Murphy is on dangerous ground here. He's already bent to Mel B's demands by paying for the upkeep of Angel Iris and admitting that he's her father, and now she's asking him to love the baby too? Eddie needs to watch out – any more of this wanton capitulation and Eddie Murphy might even one day have to kiss the baby. Kiss his own baby! On the face! Urgh!
