Eddie Murphy and Mel B Patch Things Up

After months of drama, Eddie Murphy and the mother of his child, Melanie Brown, have reconciled.

The “Doctor Dolittle” actor spoke about his child openly at the New York City Tribeca Film Festival.
While promoting 'Shrek Forever After,' Eddie talked a lot about his kids," says a source. "Ever since, he's been making efforts with Mel to get to know their daughter."

The two have been feuding since the news of her pregnancy in 2006, where Murphy denied being the father and was constantly accused of not wanting anything to do with their child.

But a source says he hosted a party last week, where Brown, her husband Stephen Belafonte and 3-year-old daughter Angel were all spotted.

“They've both said some really nasty things about each other to the press," says our source. “But Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole helped them fix their issues. Angel is Eddie's youngest child, and Nicole wanted her children to know her. That helped Eddie to come around and get past all the animosity he had toward Mel.”
