Most of the time when you hear things about people breaking up it comes from friends or co-workers of the couple. I'm not sure if Stephen Belafonte works. Oh, I know he pretends to, but I think his main job was keeping Mel B happy so she would keep her checkbook open for him. Anyway, that is how the learning usually works. In this case though, Stephen called up a friend of his at The Mirror and told the newspaper directly. I don't know if he did it to try and get the first shots in or to make himself look good, but for some reason he did it.
"Dude, it’s over. Mel’s coming back to the UK soon – but I won’t be coming with her.” I bet British journalists are rarely called dude. Stephen did not say much about why they were splitting up except, “There’s been problems lately. I don’t know what’s happening.” I find it hard to believe that you don't know anything about what has happened or why. I just don't buy it which makes me think this was all designed to make him look like he is the victim. I wonder how much money he is going to try and take her for. If it is a lot, I wonder if there will be another Spice Girl tour.
