Spokeswoman: Murphy has taken a DNA test
LOS ANGELES - Eddie Murphy has taken a DNA test to determine if
he's the father of Melanie Brown's 2-month-old daughter, Brown's
spokeswoman said Friday. The 46-year-old actor "did indeed take a
paternity test," Natalie Whorms said.
Brown, who was known as "Scary Spice" when she performed with the '90s
pop group Spice Girls, dated Murphy last year and has maintained that
the child is his. The 32-year-old singer gave birth to Angel Iris
Murphy Brown on April 3. She listed Murphy as the father on the birth
certificate.
Brown also has an 8-year-old daughter. Murphy has five children from
his marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy.
Murphy's spokesman, Arnold Robinson, has consistently denied to
comment about Brown's claims. On Friday, he said he would not confirm
the paternity test. "We do not comment on Mr. Murphy's personal life."
When asked about impending fatherhood in December, Murphy told a
television reporter: "And I don't know whose child that is until it
comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions,
sir."
