Eddie Murphy's son has revealed his new identity after coming out as trans, making the announcement on social media.
Angel Brown, now 18, has officially changed his pronouns to “him” on Instagram, marking a significant personal milestone.
The update, which appears in the bio section of his profile, comes just weeks after his 18th birthday and signals the start of a new chapter in his life.
A source close to the family told MailOnline: “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.”
Angel is the only child from former Spice Girl Mel B and Eddie Murphy’s brief but high-profile relationship in 2006.
He was born in 2007, after the pair had already split — and was at the center of a widely publicized paternity dispute.
That situation was resolved in 2009, with Eddie eventually acknowledging paternity and agreeing to a support settlement. Since then, their co-parenting relationship has significantly improved.
Earlier this year, Mel told US Weekly that her dynamic with Murphy has “flourished” over time.
She shared how her past trauma made things difficult: “I think being in the kind of [situation] that I was in, it was hard for me to step out and have that relationship flourish. I managed to do it bit by bit.”
Now living in Leeds with fiancé Rory McPhee, Mel continues to co-parent Angel, who splits his time between England and his father’s home in Beverly Hills.
“Angel is coming over [to Murphy’s house]. They spend time together. They go on holiday together. He has [10] kids and he’s a proper father,” Mel added.
Angel is part of a big blended family. Eddie Murphy, 64, has ten children with five women: Eric, Bria, Christian, Myles, Shayne, Zola Ivy, Bella Zahara, Izzy Oona, Max, and Angel.
Mel, 50, also has two daughters: Phoenix, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, and Madison, with Stephen Belafonte.
Mel B has shown nothing but support for her son.
In a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Angel’s birthday in June, 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 Love you always."
