Former member of British girl band group, Mel B, has filed for divorce from husband Stephen Belafonte in the wake of her father’s death from cancer earlier this month. The 41-year-old judge of ‘America’s Got Talent’ cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and has agreed to share responsibility of their five year old daughter, Madison.
Sources say that a series of rows over her $40 million fortune were behind her decision to call time on the 10-year marriage which was ‘toxic ‘ with a ‘controlling husband’ as she smiled regularly for the cameras.
Brown had posted an Instagram photo of herself and Belafonte in February in which she described him as her world.
“We have been through everything that would normally tear couples apart and we have come out on the other side stronger,” she wrote.
“You loved me before I even knew how to really love myself, you are my world honey and let’s not forget you are a bit of a d—head too.”
As well as Madison, she has a nine-year-old daughter, Angel, from her brief relationship with actor Eddie Murphy, and an 18-year-old daughter, Phoenix, from her first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar. Belafonte also has another daughter, Giselle, from a previous relationship.
