Angel Brown, the 18-year-old child of Eddie Murphy and Mel B, has publicly identified as transgender.
Angel recently updated his social media to reflect he/him pronouns. According to reports, both parents are supportive of his decision. Sources close to the family said there was no major announcement. Angel simply chose to make his identity clear.
Mel B marked her son’s 18th birthday with a heartfelt message, expressing pride in the young man he has become. She described him as bright, talented, and kind, and said she would always love him.
Angel is the only child shared by Murphy and Mel B, who had a brief relationship in 2006. Both parents have spoken in the past about the importance of family and support.
The story reflects a broader cultural shift, as more young people openly share their gender identity. Many families today emphasize acceptance and understanding as key to helping their children thrive.
For Angel, the focus appears to be simple: living openly and with the support of his parents.
