Eddie Murphy (46) and Tracey Edmonds (40) are splitting up, just two weeks after their New Year’s Day faux marriage on a private island near Bora Bora.

The ceremony was not legally-binding. The only people who are allowed to be married there are natives, or visitors who have been on the island for at least 30 days, but the pair had said they would make things legit stateside.

Eddie’s rep said:

“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further. While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.”

Eddie Murphy is the father of “Scary Spice” Melanie Brown’s 2-month-old daughter, Brown’s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The results of the DNA test, which Murphy took on June 11, were received by Brown on Thursday afternoon, says rep Liza Anderson.

“He’s the baby’s father, it’s official,” says a source close to Brown. “The baby is undoubtedly, 110 percent his.”

Of Brown, the source said, “There was no doubt in people’s minds anyways, least of all hers. It wasn’t a surprise to her. She knew all along.”

Murphy’s rep declined to comment.

Comedian Eddie Murphy claims to have split with former Spice Girl Mel B and says the baby she is carrying may not even be his.

The Hollywood star made the admission during a TV interview to promote his new film Dreamgirls.

When asked if he was looking forward to becoming a father again he said:

“You’re being presumptuous, because we’re not together any more and we don’t know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test.

“You shouldn’t jump to conclusions, sir.”

The couple are believed to have started dating in June, just two months after Murphy split from his wife of 12 years, Nicole.
