Mel B on Being a Single Mom After Traumatic Split from Stephen Belafonte
Nearly six months after her traumatic split with husband Stephen Belafonte, who reportedly was emotionally and physically abusive to the singer, Mel B is opening up about life post-split.
“My kids are great. [They’re] 18, 10 and 5,” the America’s Got Talent judge told reporters after a taping of the show. “They’re all doing amazing and they’re all lovely. I just make them all listen to me. And they don’t always do.” She added: “I was a single parent for a long time with Phoenix, so I kind of learned that way, and moms always know best.”
As far as advice goes: “There’s no advice that I could give. Every mother, every parent is different. The number one rule is you show your kid lots of love and respect, and you treat your kid how you want them to treat other people.”
