HOLLYWOOD - Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has urged her ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy to "be responsible" and publicly acknowledge he is the father of her three-week-old baby.
Brown gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 in Santa Monica, California--five months after she ended her six month relationship with the Dreamgirls actor.
The singer claims Murphy became aware of her pregnancy while they were still together and was "over the moon."
She tells British magazine OK!, "We had talked about having a family and getting married. We started talking about whether we should buy a house together, where we could be alone together."
Brown insists Murphy was a loving boyfriend and excited about the baby when she flew to her native England to visit her mother last December, but when she returned Murphy had ended their relationship and was denying paternity of the tot.
Brown explains, "I came to see my mom for a few days as I wanted to see her in person. Then I got a flight home, landed and there is a whole sea of photographers. There were people shouting about a DNA test.
"I was in complete shock. I tried to call Eddie and couldn't get through. Then I got through and he said he would call me back and that was it. He never called back. I literally couldn't understand what was happening."
While Brown was flying home to Los Angeles, Murphy appeared on Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard, saying, "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test."
She laments, "I was shocked and then I felt a bit disgusted. I don't feel humiliated. I think the only person who has humiliated themselves is Eddie.
"If he wants to do a DNA test, then do it. Step up to the plate and be responsible. I have no doubt that this is Eddie's baby.
"I'm not registering her birth without her dad."
