star Mel B has filed for

divorce

from husband

Stephen Belafonte

after nearly 10 years of marriage.

Mel B, whose full name is Melanie Brown, lists the couple's separation date as December 28, 2016. The couple married in Las Vegas in June 2007 and have a five-year-old daughter, Madison.


However, last month, Brown posted an Instagram photo of herself and Belafonte in which she described him as her 'world'. "We have been through everything that would normally tear couples apart and we have come out on the other side stronger," she wrote at the time.
