The trans son of Mel B and Eddie Murphy just hit the big 18.
This past Thursday (April 3), the Spice Girls star celebrated her second child Angel Murphy Brown’s birthday, who uses he/him/his pronouns. The Instagram slideshow featured snapshots of Mel B, Angel, and a photo they took with Sofía Vergara.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ANGEL !!! I cannot believe youre 18 You are so special and so bright and so talented!!” wrote Mel in her caption. “I couldnt be prouder of watching you grow and become the person you are but youll forever be my babyyyy.”
She wrapped up by saying, “I [hope] you keep chasing yor dreams and be kind to everyone around you like you always have been my Angel Love you always.”
Mel B and Murphy had a short romance in 2006, and the next April, Mel B gave birth to their son. Though they went through a paternity dispute that ended with a child support agreement in 2009, the comedian seems to have a solid bond with his son, as Mel B shared in 2019.
“He still says sorry about that to this day,” Mel B told Piers Morgan during his Life Stories show. “He wishes he never said it because that baby was planned; we planned that baby together, and we were madly in love, and it just went wrong, dramatically went wrong.”
Though Mel B has two other kids – Phoenix Brown, 26, and Madison Brown Belafonte, 13 – Murphy’s got a whole squad with ten children in total. His oldest, Eric, is about to tie the knot with Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin.
