Eddie Murphy to marry Spice Girl

Mel B

Eddie Murphy and former Spice Girl Mel B are reportedly set to wed in September.

The couple - who met at a party in Beverly Hills last month - have reportedly booked the plush Roosevelt Hotel, in Los Angeles, for their "dream wedding".

Mel, 31, and Murphy - who is 14 years her senior - are reportedly planning to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by just close family and friends.

However, the pair have drawn up a star-studded guest list, which includes Whitney Houston and British actor Max Beesley, for their wedding party.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Mel just wants her and Eddie's close family to be there for the simple blessing.

"But they will be inviting their friends to a lavish wedding breakfast reception at the venue afterwards."

Both Mel and the Shrek star have been married before.

Murphy divorced his wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy - who he has five children with - in May after 12 years of marriage. Mel - better known as Scary Spice during her time in the Spice Girls - married dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 but the couple got divorced three years later.

They have a seven-year-old daughter Phoenix-Chi.(Source:Bang! Showbiz)
