Mel B's daughter Phoenix talks about mum leaving 'abusive' marriage
Mel B's daughter Phoenix has candidly said she will 'never forget' the look of 'relief' of her mother's face when she finally left her 'abusive' marriage to Stephen Belafonte. Phoenix, 22, appeared on Kate Ferninand's podcast Blended where she claimed to have spent her teenage years living in a 'controlled' household while her mother, 47, was married to Stephen, 47. Spice Girl Mel split from Stephen in 2017 and claimed he had emotionally and physically abused her during their 10-year marriage - something which he has always vehemently denied.
