In 2006, Eddie Murphy and Spice Girl Mel B’s whirlwind romance led to the birth of their child, Angel Brown. Now 18, Angel has come out as a transgender man, marking a significant and personal milestone.

Angel, born in 2007, faced early challenges when Murphy initially denied paternity, leading to years of estrangement. However, both parents eventually reconciled, and Angel recently updated his Instagram bio to reflect his he/him pronouns.

According to sources close to the family, both Eddie and Mel have fully embraced Angel’s decision. “There was no big announcement—Angel just wanted people to know,” a family insider shared with Daily Mail.

Mel B, now 50, celebrated Angel’s 18th birthday on Instagram with a heartfelt message, expressing her pride in his growth and identity. She praised Angel for being kind, talented, and passionate—especially about art and Japanese culture.

Eddie Murphy, father to ten children, has shown support for Angel and maintains a strong co-parenting relationship with Mel. She recently told US Weekly that Angel and Eddie enjoy spending time and traveling together, highlighting his role as a committed father.

Angel’s coming out follows a similar path to Robert De Niro’s daughter, Airyn, who also recently came out as transgender. Both stories emphasize the importance of support and acceptance in a family’s journey.

As Angel embraces adulthood, the love and encouragement from both parents stand as a powerful example of unity and authenticity in navigating life’s transitions.
