Eddie ourphy allegedly dumped pregnant girlfriend Mel B because he believed she was having an affair. A pal says the comedian hired private detectives to follow the former Spice Girl after suspecting she was cheating on him. Apparently Eddie was “furious” when presented with photographs of Mel with another man and now claims he is not the father of her child. The pal explains, “Eddie had his suspicions that Mel was becoming close to a guy he knows. It does on the face of it seem spiteful to now doubt that he’s the father of the baby, but as far as he is concerned he’s been humiliated too. He is just evening the scores.” However, Mel – who is five months pregnant – has laughed off the latest accusations. “Is that the best they can throw at me?” she says, adding, “It just goes to show how desperate Eddie has got. I may have met another man for entirely innocent purposes, but I was always faithful to Eddie. He is the father of my baby and he knows it.” Meanwhile, Eddie has already moved on to a new romance with Tracey Edmonds, the film producer and ex-wife of singer Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds.
