We thought that Eddie Murphy and Scary Spice (aka Melanie Brown) were set to get married … or at least bear a child together.

After revealing that he and the former Spice Girl have broken up, however, Murphy also seemed to question whether or not he actually was Brown’s baby daddy. That’s never good.

The Dreamgirls star was asked on a Dutch TV show this weekend if he was happy with the pregnant Melanie, to which he responded:

“You’re being presumptuous because we’re not together anymore. And I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions, sir.”

Well … alrighty then. A meeting between Peter Cook and Christie Brinkley sounds less awkward than this interview.

The couple started dating in June, just two months after the actor’s divorce was finalized. Between the pair, Murphy and Brown have seven children. It remains to be seen, however, if they’ll beat out Flavor Flav and conceive an eighth as a unit.

Stay tuned and find out!
