Spice Girls star Melanie Brown has moved on from
ex Eddie Murphy and now plans to marry new boyfriend Stephen Belafonte.
The singer has been dating the film producer since splitting from Murphy last
year and confesses she is ready to wed for a second time.
She says, "He's the love of my life and I am going to marry him."
Brown, who was embroiled in a bitter lawsuit with Murphy over the paternity
of daughter Angel Iris, says Belafonte has accepted the three-month-old as his
own child.
She adds, "Stephen's been a godsend. Eddie hasn't been in touch once since I
had the baby--it's unbelievable. But Stephen has been a tower of strength."
Brown married Dutch dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998. Gulzar is the father of her
daughter Phoenix Chi, nine.
