CUTIE ALERT! INTRODUCING MADISON BELAFONTE
What a cutie! Singer Melanie Brown and her husband Stephen Belafonte show off their new baby daughter Madison Belafonte in the latest issue of Hello! Magazine.
“She is so gorgeous and such a chilled baby,” Melanie says of her daughter, who weighed in at six pounds and two ounces upon birth.
The former Spice Girl says that her pregnancy was different the third time around thanks to her supportive partner Stephen. “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 has two other daughters: Phoenix, 12, from her first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, and four-year-old Angel with actor Eddie Murphy.

I am glad Melanie has hubby Stephen…I couldn’t imagine being pregnant and not having someone to rely on. That would be too awful. I guess 3rd times the charm…

I was with my son’s father when I was pregnant & he was completely useless. He was the most scaredy cat I’ve ever seen. His current wife says he was the same way when she was pregnant.

oh no Sherely..he sound like a weak man. I hope you had some other support system…with pregnancy and all the changes that comes with it, just seem like a woman needs some help.
Flag this
Yes Seriously..he is a weak man..he takes mama’s boy to the next level. I had the support of my wonderful girlfriends.
But that is why I only have one child. I wasn’t going to go through that another time..I wanted a husband. Since I never found the right one (had fun with the right nows though), being a Moo (mom of one) works.

I agree with you Sherley. I am a MOO also and I’m not complaining. I want another child but I am set on waiting until I am married so I can do it right, as they say!
Flag this
@theyknow…i am pro-marriage but lets be real not all of us will ever get married. Some of us will marry while others will not and that is a fact. I hope you full-fill your dreams of marriage, you too Sherley. Heck,I want to be married to and have the american dream. However I am also prepared for “it” actually not to happen. Either way,I will make my life a happy one and well traveled one. If I dont meet the right one then there is always adoption. Im just saying, marriage or no marriage, just enjoy your life!

@Seriously I was just going t ask u if u never get married would u still consider having a baby! I’m in my late 20′s like u and don’t have any kids. I’m no pro marriage but I would like to have a child by a stand up guy!
Flag this
“typos” to and not
Flag this
@misunderstood, I dont know if i would have a child if I wasn’t married. I feel like if I am good enough to have your child then I am good enough to be your wife. I am not a bible freak bc I dont attend church so my beliefs isnt grounded in the church. I cant say bc anything can happen honestly. My aunt was 40y/o when she got pregnant by a irish guy (cute and smart),her child father is now a Judge, earns six figures and is a great dad. So if its a guy w/his business in order then maybe…who knows what will happen…

@Misunderstood..I honestly dont know

@theyknow..being a MOO is great, easier & cheaper. It is too late for me to give him a sibling, but not too late to find a good man. I am sure they are out there, let God bring him to you & be open to other races.
Flag this
I want another one too but im waiting on marriage also.
Flag this
Hey Nee..welcome to the MOO club
. I was doing the same but the marriage didn’t come so neither did the child. I’m still happy.
Flag this
I hear you Shereley..you sound like a great mom!!! You did what you had to do and our girlfriends/families can be the best support system ever. I want only one kid too, i think that is enough. It costs too much nowadays to have anymore than two. Husband or not, life can still be great if we chose to make it great and our surroundings are positive..then we will be ok and so will the child.
Flag this
Thank Seriously. I try my best to be a good mother & I’m happy with my record so far.
.
We can all get happily married if we look outside our races. I never thought I would say that, but you know, honestly, being open to other races will provide other options you cannot find in black men. Now I am not putting down my black brothers..man I love myself a black man, however, I cannot seem to find a great one..hell I’ll settle for a real good one. Since I can’t, why shouldn’t I look outside my race? Black men do it w/o batting an eye.

@Sherley do u honestly think ur to old to have another baby????
Flag this
@Misunderstood, I would like to get married one day and have one child but if I never meet a decent, financially and emotionally stable aand mature strong guy then it wont happen and I will just adopt. I am open to all races bc honestly our men sometimes dont measure up..just sayin.

Agreeeeeeee!!!

It will work out. You seem to have a great mind on your shoulders..God will bless him with having you in his life.

She looks like a doll. She’s a cuite!

Aww she is sooo pretty! What a precious new addition. 4 girls wow I would love to be a fly on the wall when they go through their teenage years.
Flag this
FOUR? I thought Mel only had two girls before this one.
Flag this
Yeah, it’s her third, not fourth. One daughter by Dutch-Antillian dancer Jimmy Gulzar and one daughter by Eddy Murphy.
Oh and it’s a beautiful baby girl! Beautiful family.

Correction Jimmy is from Surinam descent
Cute baby, I wonder if she would inherit her daddy’s eyes
Flag this
Her husband has a daughter from a previous relationship.
Flag this
I never knew he had any kids either..I would love to see her. Yeah, four girls will definitely be a handful come their teen years.
Flag this
She’s been on here before. Her name is giselle. She doesn’t look mixed at all, but she’s cute!
Flag this
@Trisha..I jsut googled a pic of Giselle and she look mixed to me..maybe more mexican. But she is a cute girl also. I saw an old pic of Phoenix and she had a head full of hair like her mom use to…wow I never seen some of the older pics of them.

I am happy for Mel B and her family. Congrats.

Beuatiful baby.

i am glad she got married before having this baby. at least she got it right this time around. marriage before kids is key. her baby is such a gorgeous baby. so precious. they seem really happy
Flag this
Please let’s not start this debate. Just because you get married before havign children does not mean it will turn out all rosy. The key is being with the right person. Not all men are husband material & not all father’s are husband material either.
Flag this
Sherley, can you tell me what husband material means to you?
No one said marriage is all rosy and wonderful, but marriage is a declaration of commitment in front of the world. It is in the best interest of children to be born from people who are willing to commit with each other. If some people enter marriage without believing in it, that does not disqualify the institution of marriage. Just like any contract we enter we should do our best not to breach the contract, and if some do breach it, this does not mean there should not be contracts at all or the contract was at fault. I find it incredible, that most people would never sell their houses without a contract or documentation, yet they would have children with someone who is unwilling to contractually commit to them. Are properties more important than children? A man who is unwilling to commit is not the kind of man that should be a father, because children need someone who will be by them through thick and thin, someone who knows the sacrifices of commitment.
Flag this
I have not met anyone who is husband material yet for me, hence why I am still single. However, that is not the main point of my comment.
As I said being with the right person is the key. Not all husbands will make good fathers, regardless of how great of a husband/man they are. Same goes for women.
While what you said above is true, one can be in a great marriage but change when a child they planned comes along. Marriage does not guarantee excellent parentage. Some men are ok being in relationships, but not being parents, same goes for women.
I have a brother who is afraid of marriage (too long to explain why) but he is an awesome father. And I know so many men who are married & did a 360 when their wives became pregnant.
Flag this
Being a parent means being selfless. If someone is egotistical they usually are not going to be good parents, because they don’t like sacrificing for others. Before marrying the guy, women should determine what kind of a guy he is and discuss the issue of parenthood. I heard from many friends that they never discussed this issue with their fiances and when they had kids they didn’t see eye to eye. I did discuss it with my fiance. We even discussed how we wanted to rear our children and how we should support each other. I am glad we were on the same page before we got married and it helped a lot. It would have been scary finding out later. I understand that at the beginning a couple is in the romantic stage, but when they decide to commit to each other, then they need to talk about the important issues that often come with marriage. That is why many religious institutions require marriage classes or counseling for prospective spouses. They realized now days people are so influenced by popular culture to the point they only concentrate on the romantic side of their relationship and never explore the other sides of a relationship. I believe the reason why nowadays more and more men are unwilling to enter marriage is because women had made it easier for men. If a great deal of women accept men without commitment than why should men commit. In this case the men benefit, they have their fun and move on, while the woman is left alone with the child. Men are not the ones carrying another human being in their womb for nine months, and having this incredible connection with the baby growing in her. He never experiences this bond, so for him it’s very easy to move on. So, it is in the best interest of women and children that men commit to them, because it’s hard on both the mother and child without the support of the father.
