Eddie Murphy’s 18-year-old child has come out as transgender.
Angel, whom he shares with singer Mel B (real name Melanie Brown) has come out as trans.
The Spice Girls singer also has two daughter, Maddison, 13 and Phoenix, 26.
The actor, on the other hand, has 10 children; with the eldest being his son Eric, 35.
Angel, who turned 18 in April, changed his pronouns on Instagram to ‘him’ – a point then didn’t go unnoticed by fans.
Reportedly Mel B and Murphy support their child in his decision. An insider shared: “It’s a decision Angel made and Mel has been understanding, likewise Eddie. There was no big event to mark it. Angel just wanted it to be known what pronouns are now suitable.”
The singer shared a heartfelt post on her own social media for her son’s 18th. She wrote: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ANGEL !!! I cannot believe youre 18 You are so special and so bright and so talented!! I couldnt be prouder of watching you grow and become the person you are but youll forever be my babyyyy I hop you keep chasing yor dreams and be kind to everyone around you like you always have been my Angel [sic].”
Mel B and Murphy had a brief fling in 2006, which resulted in Angel being born a year later.
