‘I’ve finally done it right’: Mel B says motherhood is different third time round thanks to husband Stephen Belafonte
She already has two daughters and two weeks ago she welcomed another little girl into her fold when she gave birth to her third child.
But Mel B has said that motherhood is different this time round and that’s all because of husband Stephen Belafonte.
The former Spice Girl said she is grateful to him for being a supportive partner and added that she feels like she has ‘finally done it right’.
Mel, 36, was speaking to Hello! magazine as she and Stephen posed with their daughter Madison for the first time.
She spoke about the new-found happiness of her family life and said she would love to have more children with Stephen.
Mel has two other daughters – Phoenix, 12, from her first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, and four-year-old Angel from her brief relationship with comedy actor Eddie Murphy.
She said: ‘Ideally you want to have your loving partner who you’ve created this baby with by your side throughout everything, and in Angel and Phoenix’s cases, that wasn’t the set up.
The full interview with Mel is in the this week’s edition of Hello! magazine which is out now.
‘I had a rocky marriage with Phoenix’s dad. The relationship with Angel’s dad, Eddie, was over halfway through the pregnancy, and I had to suck it up and get on with it.
‘This time I’ve done it with my partner – someone to come to every prenatal appointment with me, to get excited by every scan – and it feels like I’ve finally done it right.
‘When I was moaning to Stephen about my trapped nerve I was thinking, “I’ve never had anyone to complain to about these kinds of things”.’
Mel described Madison, who was born earlier this month weighing in at six pounds and two ounces, is ‘so gorgeous and such a chilled baby’.
Mel, who was known as Scary Spice when she was in the all-girl group, is currently in Australia as a judge on the country’s X Factor.
Due to start filming the show in two weeks, she was snapped in Sydney this weekend showing off her post-baby curves in a pretty leopard print maxi dress.
She teamed the frock with with aviator sunglasses and nude heels as she headed out to run errands with her daughter Angel in tow.
