Some Hollywood relationships may fade from the spotlight, but the family ties they create often continue quietly behind the scenes. Several well-known celebrity pairs share children together, even if their romances didn’t always last. Eddie Murphy and Melanie Brown, more commonly known as “Mel B”, dated for around nine months in 2006. The Spice Girls star even once called Murphy the “great love” of her life in a 2018 interview. Their relationship led to the birth of their daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, in 2007. After a DNA test confirmed that Murphy was in fact the father, Brown filed a paternity suit requesting child support. Murphy’s publicist later confirmed he had acknowledged paternity, paid support, and covered pregnancy-related expenses. Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen also share a daughter, Lily Mo Sheen, who was born on January 31, 1999. The pair met in the mid-1990s during a stage production of ‘The Seagull’. Although they sadly split in 2003, they have remained connected through co-parenting, and Lily has even pursued acting herself, having starred alongside Nicholas Cage in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.’ ‘Gilmore Girls’ star Alexis Bledel and ‘Mad Men’ actor Vincent Kartheiser quietly welcomed a son in 2015 after marrying the year prior. Their pregnancy was never publicly announced, and the news was later confirmed when Bledel’s ‘Gilmore Girls’ co-star Scott Patterson told Glamour that she was “a proud new mother and married and happy.” Model Kimberly Stewart and Oscar-winning actor Benicio del Toro also share a daughter, Delilah, who was born in 2011. Although the pair are no longer together, del Toro was reportedly by Stewart’s side for the birth, according to Us Weekly. Del Toro even once joked in an interview with Us Magazine, “I might pull the Oscar out to show to my daughter,” adding that her “grandpa”, music legend Rod Stewart, “has a lot of stuff, but he ain't got one of those.”
