Mel B and Eddie Murphy haven’t exactly stayed on friendly terms since they split up in 2006.
In fact, they were well known for slagging each other off in the press – especially when Eddie disputed the paternity of Mel’s youngest daughter, Angel, and Mel had to prove it with a paternity test. It was like something from the Maury show!
But it looks like things are less frosty between the pair these days, and they even turned up to the Shrek premiere in LA this week – although they weren’t photographed together.
Mel attended with husband Stephen Belafonte, her daughters Phoenix Chi, 11, and Angel, 3, and Stephen’s daughter Giselle, 6, while Eddie arrived with seven of his children from previous relationships.
And apparently Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, who has five children with the comedian, is behind the reconciliation. She wanted her kids to get to know Angel so befriended Mel and encouraged them to be friendly. Good for her!
A source told the New York Daily News that Eddie has been making an effort recently to see his youngest daughter.
‘While promoting Shrek Forever After, Eddie talked a lot about his kids. Ever since, he’s been making efforts with Mel to get to know their daughter.”
The source added: “Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole helped them reconcile their issues, too. Angel is Eddie’s youngest child, and Nicole wanted her children to know her. That helped Eddie to come around and get past all the animosity he had toward Mel.’
I hope the pair can keep their differences resolved for the sake of the kids and stop trash-talking about each other in the papers. Maybe Eddie ‘n’ Mel should tweet Demi, Ashton and Bruce for some advice – they’ve got the happiest divorce in Hollywood so must have a few pointers on keeping things civil!
