Melanie Brown (aka Scary Spice) gave birth to her second child at 12:11 a.m. Tuesday morning at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, CA.
The baby girl, who is still unnamed, weighed in at approximately 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and 18 inches long.
"It was an easy birth,” a source close to Brown tells Usmagazine.com. “The baby’s light-skinned and beautiful. Mel is thrilled!"
The source added that mother and baby are very happy now and plan on being in the hospital for two more days.
Brown, 31, went into the hospital Monday afternoon and was surrounded by her mother, 8-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi, and close friends.
The name of the baby's father has not been added to birth certificate. Brown has long maintained that ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy is the father, a claim which the comedian denies. “I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test,” he said last year.
According to the source, Brown did not tell Murphy about the birth. “Mel said, ‘He can read about it.’”
The fact that Brown's baby was born on Murphy’s birthday, April 3, is purely coincidence, says the source, who adds that the child had a natural birth, and was not delivered via Cesarean section.
