Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown is reportedly pregnant with Eddie Murphy’s child - or children.

Melanie confessed she was four months pregnant at the weekend while shopping at La Bra Lingerie boutique in West Hollywood while spending $5000 on lingerie for herself and $300 on underwear for Eddie.

A spokesperson for the boutique, Andy Behrman revealed: “Melanie Brown came in and was telling everybody she was four months gone.”

“She said she suspects twins because they run in Eddie’s family.”

The couple have been dating for around five months and had a “trial marriage” during a holiday in Hawaii to see how their children - five from Eddie’s marriage to ex-wife Nicole and two sons from previous relationships, and Melanie’s seven year old daughter Phoenix Chi from her marriage to Jimmy Gulzar - would get along.

Official spokespeople for both Eddie and Melanie refused to comment.
