Murphy's Ex-Wife Speaks Out About Paternity Battle

Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Mitchell is baffled by former Spice Girl Melanie Brown's claims that Murphy is the father of her unborn child.

In December (2006), Brown, who is believed to be eight months pregnant, said her ex-lover Murphy was the father of her unborn child.

Murphy, 45, has denied he is the father, pending a paternity test once the child is born.

Mitchell, who divorced Murphy in 2006 after 13 years of marriage, says, "It's a very strange situation. If it is Eddie's, it's going to be beautiful."

Mitchell, who shares custody of the five children she had with the Dreamgirls star, insists she has no animosity towards her ex-husband, and even approves of his new romance with Tracey Edmonds.

She adds, "I wish them both love. They look great together."
