Murphy dating Scary Spice

NEW YORK:

Hollywood’s funny man Eddie Murphy is secretly dating former Spice Girl Melanie Brown. According to hollywood.com, the couple is trying hard to keep its ongoing romance under wraps but Hollywood columnist Perez Hilton has managed to reveal it. Hilton spoke to several friends of Murphy and Brown who have confirmed their relationship. They said: “They have been lying low and trying to keep it quiet, but they are definitely an item.” Brown, who was known as Scary Spice in the British girl group, moved to Los Angeles and released a solo album, LA State of Mind, last year. Murphy divorced wife Nicole in April this year after 13 years of marriage and five children.
