Mel B files for divorce after 10 years of marriage

Court records show singer and television personality Mel B has filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 10 years.

The former Spice Girl, whose real name is Melanie Brown, cited irreconcilable differences for her break-up from producer Stephen Belafonte. Her petition was filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

They have a five-year-old daughter together, and Brown is seeking joint custody.

Brown and Belafonte married in July 2007. She listed December 28 as the date they separated. Brown, who is a judge on America’s Got Talent, is asking a judge to deny spousal support to Belafonte.
