Mel B Has Reportedly Walked Out On Her Husband Of Seven Years, Stephen Belafonte After Series Of Blazing Rows

According to The Sun, the X Factor judge, 39, packed up and left the home the couple have been sharing in London after their furious arguing became too much to bear.

And now pals are urging the former Spice Girl to formally break away from Stephen, reports the newspaper.

A source told The Sun that the marriage is on 'life support', adding:

'Mel hasn't spoken to Stephen once since her admission to hospital last week and as it stands she doesn't want to see him. He didn't come to the hospital at all.

'Everyone around her is encouraging her to stay strong and to leave him for good this time because they don't believe their relationship is healthy.

'Things have been very rocky over the last few weeks...last week everything escalated and there were a number of big rows before Mel ended up in hospital.'

Mel B's husband has slammed speculation that he was responsible for her scratched and bruised appearance on The X Factor judge on Sunday.
