The former Spice Girl has named Eddie as the father of three-week-old girl Angel Iris Murphy on the birth certificate and says the tot resembles the actor.

She said in an interview with Britain's OK! magazine: "I look at the baby and she has his big smile and dimples. She's gorgeous, she has taken the best bits of both of us."

Mel, 31, admits she was devastated by the way Eddie publicly ended their seven-month relationship and demanded a DNA test, but insists she still has "nothing but love" for him.

She said: "I couldn't hate Eddie. I fell so in love with him. We had a dream life together and I'm thankful that I experienced it."

DNA tests are already underway at the "Norbit" actor's insistence.

Mel revealed he has not contacted her since she gave birth - on Eddie's birthday - but refused to rule out a reunion with the 46-year-old star.

She added: "In my fantasy world this would never have happened and we would have been living happily ever after. We would be married and having more kids."

Mel claims the couple enjoyed a blissful relationship before Eddie's shock TV interview four months ago, and revealed they even got tattoos of each other's names.

If Eddie is indeed the father, I'm sure he'll pony up support for his new baby girl. I'm just waiting for his ex to blow the lid on what their marriage was really like. After the whole Divine episode I'll betcha Eddie's got some other wicked little secrets.

I think he is acting pretty badly about the whole thing. If someone told me there was even a chance that a kid was my daughter i would be there seeing her just incase....its gonna be hard for them to bond after all this and his daughter will read about it in years to come.

he has made a bad mistake.

it's nice to think that he would be a willing cash donor, but i just don't think it's going to happen that way. last i heard, eddie murphy was looking to get out of the movie business and go back to stand-up comedy. i think this is a pre-emptive attempt to lower his assets in view of the fact that mel b. is -definitely- going to want some of his money, if he is in fact the father (and come on, we all know that he is)
