New
York
(ANI):
Eddie
Murphy
is
making
efforts
to
get
to
know
his
daughter
with
ex-flame
Melanie
Brown,
it
has
emerged.
"While
promoting
'Shrek
Forever
After,'
Eddie
talked
a
lot
about
his
kids," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
a
source,
as
saying.
"Ever
since,
he's
been
making
efforts
with
Mel
to
get
to
know
their
daughter."
Murphy
and
Brown
have
feuded
quite
publicly
since
her
pregnancy
was
revealed
in
2006,
with
Murphy
initially
denying
he
was
the
dad.
Even
though
the
actor
has
been
repeatedly
accused
of
wanting
nothing
to
do
with
his
child
by
the
former
Scary
Spice,
it
seems
he
has
had
a
change
of
heart
lately.
The
insider
revealed
Murphy
hosted
a
party
at
his
LA
compound
last
week,
and
Brown,
her
hubby,
Stephen
Belafonte,
and
Angel,
her
3-year-old
daughter
with
Murphy,
were
present.
The
snitch
said:
"They've
both
said
some
really
nasty
things
about
each
other
to
the
press.
So
needless
to
say,
some
guests
were
shocked."
The
informer
added:
"Eddie's
ex-wife
Nicole
helped
them
reconcile
their
issues,
too.
Angel
is
Eddie's
youngest
child,
and
Nicole
wanted
her
children
to
know
her.
That
helped
Eddie
to
come
around
and
get
past
all
the
animosity
he
had
toward
Mel.
All
of
the
children
were
there
for
the
party,
and
it
appeared
that
they're
one
big
happy,
blended
family."
