Eddie Murphy To Pay Millions In Child Support

Eddie Murphy certainly isn’t going to be nominated for ‘Father Of The Year’ like, ever. But what’s more, the shamed father to Melanie Brown’s child is now having to fork out a whopping $51,000 (£35,000) a month in child support to his former lover.

The former Spice Girl hit the headlines in 2006 after embarking on a short fling with the Beverly Hills Cop star and falling pregnant with his child.

Murphy sparked a war of words with Brown following their break-up when he suggested it was possible he wasn't the father of the baby.

He subsequently took a DNA test which determined daughter Angel Iris - born on Murphy's birthday, 3 April 2007 - was in fact his.

British tabloid the News of the World has revealed that Dr Doolittle star Murphy has agreed to a support package totalling more than $10 million (£7 million), following a 15 month court battle in Los Angeles.
