The child of Spice Girl Melanie \u2018Mel B\u2019 Brown<\/a> and Hollywood legend Eddie Murphy<\/a> has changed his pronouns on social media<\/a> and is living as a trans man.<\/p>\n Angel Brown, 18, is the only child from Mel, 50, and Eddie\u2019s brief yet high profile 2006 relationship<\/a>. Born in 2007 \u2013 after they had split up \u2013 Angel was the subject of a public paternity dispute between the Spice Girl and the Norbit actor.<\/p>\n Including Angel, the Nutty Professor star, 64, has 10 children with five different women<\/a>. They are Eric, Bria, Christian, Myles, Shayne, Zola Ivy, Bella Zahara, Izzy Oona, and Max.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Mel shares Phoenix Brown with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, and Madison Brown Belafonte with her other ex-Stephen Belafonte.<\/p>\n Following the resolution of their paternity dispute<\/a>, Mel and Eddie agreed upon a support settlement in 2009 \u2013 and Eddie now shares a warm relationship with both Mel and Angel.<\/p>\n Weeks after his 18th birthday, Angel has updated his pronouns on Instagram \u2013 to support from both his famous mum and dad.<\/p>\n \t\t Visible on the autobiographical section of his Instagram profile, Angel\u2019s pronoun now reads \u2018him\u2019 next to his name and profile picture.<\/p>\n Of the milestone, a source told MailOnline<\/a>: \u2018It\u2019s a decision Angel made and Mel has been understanding, likewise Eddie.<\/p>\n \u2018There was no big event to mark it. Angel just wanted it to be known what pronouns are now suitable.\u2019<\/p>\n Last month, former Scary Spice Mel posted a loving message in celebration of Angel\u2019s 18th birthday to her own Instagram, sharing a selection of pics throughout his life.<\/p>\n \u2018HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ANGEL !!!\u2019 the America\u2019s Got Talent judge<\/a> captioned the post. <\/p>\n \u2018I cannot believe youre [sic] 18 You are so special and so bright and so talented!!

I managed to do it bit by bit.\u2019<\/p>\n With Mel now settled down in Leeds with hairdresser Rory, 36, Angel now divides his time between England and his dad\u2019s Beverly Hills home.<\/p>\n \u2018Angel is coming over [to Murphy\u2019s house]. They spend time together. They go on holiday together. He has [10] kids and he\u2019s a proper father,\u2019 Mel said.<\/p>\n \t\t Mel went on to speak about Angel\u2019s interest in \u2018art and Japanese culture\u2019 noting to the publication that he keeps \u2018very much to himself\u2019.<\/p>\n She added: \u2018He went to Japan last year with his girlfriend and just embraced the whole Japanese vibe,\u201d the TV personality says. \u201c[Angel] speaks fluent Japanese and he knows exactly what he wants to do and where he wants to go.\u2019<\/p>\n In her 2018 memoir Brutally Honest, Mel described the Shrek star as \u2018the love of my life,\u2019<\/a> writing: \u2018He\u2019s a genuinely decent man.\u2019<\/p>\n He may have initially questioned Angel as his own offspring, but Eddie has very much come around since \u2013 posing for a Christmas card in 2018 <\/a>with all 10 of his children, with Angel front and centre.<\/p>\n Metro has contacted representatives for Mel B and Eddie Murphy for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow![\"EX](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/SEI_253908433-a7b1.jpg\")
