Mel B has named Eddie Murphy as the father on her daughter's birth certificate.

The former Spice Girl is certain ex-lover Eddie is two-week-old Fortuna Daphne Bay's father, and has hired a top lawyer to prove his paternity in court.

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Mel has no doubt Eddie is the father and she wanted to make the point."

While Mel is determined to prove Eddie fathered her second daughter, she has vowed he will play no part in the child's upbringing.

The source revealed: "She doesn't want him involved because he has hurt her too much. She just feels that he will have to accept responsibility at some point and there was no need for him to be so dismissive of their relationship."

'Dreamgirls' actor Eddie dated Mel after his divorce from Nicole Mitchell last year.

When Mel announced her pregnancy, Eddie revealed he would be demanding a paternity test.

He said: "I don't know whose that child is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions."

Another Black Man denying his own child. (sigh) Here's hoping Mel B. gets a paternity test & proves Eddie Murphy's ass as the Father. Discounting Mel B on National Television was figuratively gross. To shame that poor girl in front of the World like that was just plain cruel. Hey Eddie, if you don't want women getting pregnant for you out of fear of being 'gold-diggers' then put on a rubber. Or for pete's sake get a Vasectomy!! Eddie you have 7 children (2 out of wedlock) not including Mel's Baby. Have some Class & be responsible!!
