Mel B.'s Secret Wedding!

Filed under: Exclusives! > Mel B.

Mel B. is a married woman!

PerezHilton.com can exclusively reveal that the Spice Girl has married her boyfriend, movie producer Stephen Belafonte.

The pair eloped in Las Vegas on June 6th and have kept the news secret until we just broke the story.

"Mel's tried very hard to keep this under wraps, especially with the paternity case against Eddie [Murphy] and everything going on," a source tells us. "She really values her privacy."

Sources also reveal that Mel has taken steps to protect her children. "Yes, they signed a prenup," we've been told.

Smart!

Mel also "is aware" of Belafonte's checkered past (including arrests). "They've known each other for seven years and were friends before they were lovers," says our source. "Stephen treats her like a queen and she's incredibly happy."

Well, if she's happy we're happy. Just don't want her to get hurt.

Congrats to the "happy" newlyweds!

Update: Mel is currently under the weather but under the care of a doctor, and - sources tell us - she's hoping to be well enough to appear on Larry King Live Thursday night to talk about her new marriage and about her bitter baby battle with Eddie Murphy.

Get well soon. Real soon!

      "Well, if she’s happy we’re happy" are you guys gay or something? Oh wait…

      But really, you're not happy if she's happy - there's nothing more you guys love than a fallen celeb. It makes you money when people are miserable.

      O-K…here we go again….another celebrity marriage. They've been friends for 7 years? Why are they 'all of a sudden' romantically involved? What took so long? This just 'developed' over the course of, let's see, maybe a year or two at the most? She's an adult and do what she wants, but….I-SMELL-RE-BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      36

      1st of all I seriously doubt that mel b is losing sleep over you hating on her!
      2nd I think that it was to soon for her to get married!
      3rd i think that she needed someone to love her, because maybe she don't fully love herself!
      4Th I think that she wanted to beat eddie Murphy to the alter!
      5th I think eddie don't care…one bit!

      to sum it all up: I hope that she made him sign a prenup!

      42

      Hell's teeth - why are celebrities so intent on marrying people left, right and centre? What's wrong with going on a few dates, getting to know each other, dating for more than 5 mins before sprinting up the aisle? Utter madness. i expected more of miss melanie brown, given that she's not one of you crazy Americans.

      46

      They must've JUST got together within the last year because her baby is only a few months old and Eddie left her during her pregnancy (which lasts an average of 9 months)….so she works fast to be married already! But I like Mel B. Make it do what it do girl! Oh, and he is not that cute either y yaw talking ’bout Eddie….this dude only has 'pretty' eyes.

      52

      Today's word is REBOUND. But I hope this works for her. Maybe he doesn't have a clean criminal past, but you can change that easier than being gay like her first husband, and Eddie.

    53. Patricia NY says – reply to this


      53

      R-E-B-O-U-N-D!!!!!! I guess she thinks it will be easier to change a criminal into a decent citizen than it is to get a gay guy to go straight. Which she has had plenty of experience with, since her first husband was gay, and we all know about Eddie. But I do wish her the best.

      55

      His real name is Stephen Standsbury, he changed it so people would think he is the son of Harry. I would not trust a dishonest person like him. Be she is dishonest too, she got pregnant twice by unsuspecting men. Her former husband and Eddie.
      She and Stephen Stansbury deserve each other. They can both deceive each other until the marriage goes kaput. They are both dishonest.

    56. Steve Stansbury(Belafonte) Sucks says – reply to this


      56

      Steve is totally bi or something. He sucked a lot to get the "movie producer" title. He is beyond a criminal. Go to JanetCharlton.com and see what people are saying. I went to school with him and he is not someone you want to be alone with EVER!

    64. Something fishy says – reply to this


      64

      i was on Mel's side at first, but the more she runs her mouth about this very private situation, the more she seems like a manipulative sociopath. "they" planned to heve a baby? eddie's wife already said he's an absentee-hands-off-dad to the 5 kids he already has. "they" planned to have her iud removed? eddie's totally bi, and wanted nothing more than a high-profile beard (a la tracey edmonds), and found himself caught up. she comes off like an older woman who wanted another baby, saw an opportunity, and took advantage of it. i respect eddie's silcence much more than her blather.

      “She really values her privacy.”

      Is this biotch for real?

    69. Cutetee says – reply to this


      69

      At first Eddie's silence made me think he was cruel and thoughtless but the more I hear that she claimed she couldn't get pregnant that's why he was suprised when he heard about it, Also the more I hear that this baby was a meal ticket and the more I hear that he ended the relationship before the Dutch Tv interview because she was loud and rude to his family, that's why he didn't return any of her calls, it makes me side with Eddie. That was one long run on sentence.

    70. WTF says – reply to this


      70

      How long do you think it will take until we read she's bipolar? I mean if you look at her Wikipedia entry she had a 2 year long lesbian relationship with some studio executive, then she meets Eddie and supposedly has a "planned" pregnancy within a month of meeting him, then she announces she and Eddie are engaged (I never heard him say they were engaged, just her) then that relationship falls apart months before she gives birth and then all this latest drama involving Gloria Allred trying to make him a "responsible" father. Now she's secretly married (and since June?!) to a guy who seems to have a very shady past at best. Why do all these women on here think she is some kind innocent saint that Eddie duped into getting pregnant and then abandoned. He was stupid for not wearing a condom and he will have to pay child support. End of story for him. I have a feeling this latest impulsive act is just the beginning for Mel B. Eddie really dodged a bullet with this crazy gold-digger!

    71. Tamir says – reply to this


      71

      Stephen came into the picture after the baby was born, so don't go easily to Eddie's side. he and Melanie became a couple sometime in May.. i think. then they got married according to those new rumours in June… so it might have been a stupid quick las vegas merridge, but it has nothing to do with the parenting drama with Eddie. he was a scum not calling even Melanie after she had his baby born…

    72. OH DANG says – reply to this


      72

      You mean she DATED his friend 7 years ago?

      If she values her privacy then why does she call the press on herself?

      all I have to say is….SHEISTY.

      74

      Eddie already agreed to pay her. she can't force him to be a loving father. she should be glad he at least agreed to pay. most men won't even do that. and her running her mouth all the time DOES seem suspicious. "it's better to be thought a fool and remain quiet than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

      MAKES YA WONDER IF SHE WAS FOOLING AROUND WITH HERMAN MUNSTER WHILE DATING EDDIE. COULD BE THAT SHE WAS SCREWING THEM BOTH & EDDIE HAD CAUSE FOR THINKING THAT WASN'T HIS KID..EITHER WAY SHE'S A DAM FOOL!

      Hah, what a hypocrite! "Values her privacy" must be a foreign phrase to Mel B. Karma is a bitch, what goes around will come around and Mel will be bitten big time in the future. I was on the fence, sort of leaning toward Team Mel, but now after this news I'm on Team Eddie!

      I (along with my entire family) have known Stephen for more than a decade and he is a really, really great guy!!! (regardless of any other trash that may show up on him…everyone has skeletons in their closet!) As long as he is happy then I and my family fully support him!

      For a smart girl that trapped Eddie so eloquently, this WAS NOT a very smart move. Pre-nups always have loopholes of some sort.

      Steve is a scumbag. This is not trash it is truth. He has more than just skeletons in his closet. Never in my life have I heard "really great guy" in a sentance with his name.

    93. Lorraine says – reply to this


      93

      Well no wonder Eddie at first denied he was the baby's father- any man in his right man would question paternity. Was she hanging out with her "friend" when she and Eddie were dating? Now she has that media whore lawyer Gloria Allred trying to take Murphy for every penny even tho he has been giving money to Mel B all along. Murphy should of wrapped "it" up- especially when boinking B rate pop stars.

      COURT you must be a relative of his because like douche said there is not one person who has ever really known what Stephen is about that can say he is a great guy. And of course he is happy and you support him because he just landed the biggest fool that ever lived. This is what he has always wanted, MONEY! The smarter ones would never be foolish enough to marry him. Mel will be paying for this big time.
