Eddie Murphy has been a notable absence in his youngest daughter Angel's life since her birth three years ago. But after years of estrangement, it appears Murphy and Mel B have finally put their difficulties behind them for the sake of their daughter.
The former couple stunned Hollywood yesterday when they both turned up with their respective families to the LA premiere of Murphy's new film Shrek Forever After.
While the pair weren't photographed together, it was the first time they've been seen in same place since their high-profile split in 2006.
Along with Angel, Mel B posed with eldest daughter Phoenix Chi, 11, on the green carpet with husband Stephen Belafonte, who was holding hands with Angel and had his arm around his own daughter Giselle, 6.
Murphy, 49, and Brown, 34, are back on speaking terms after encouragement from the actor's ex-wife Nicole Mitchell.
Mitchell, who has five children with the comedian, struck up a friendship with Brown soon after Angel's birth because she wanted her kids to know their half-sister.
The actor and ex-Spice Girl are rumoured to have only just reconciled, with Murphy inviting her to a party at his Los Angeles home earlier this month.
A source told the New York Daily News: 'While promoting Shrek Forever After, Eddie talked a lot about his kids. Ever since, he's been making efforts with Mel to get to know their daughter. They've both said some really nasty things about each other to the press. So needless to say, some guests (at his party) were shocked.
'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.'
Brown and Murphy started dating in June 2006 - two months after the actor divorced ex-wife Nicole Mitchell. But the comedian stunned the then-five months pregnant Brown when he called off their relationship while she was visiting her mother home in Leeds.
