Mel B has been getting on the right side of the law - by dating a policeman.
The 40-year-old Spice Girl is reportedly enjoying a romance with a Beverly Hills based cop.
Mel - who is currently in the process of divorcing her husband Stephen Belafonte - has seen her new romance compared to life imitating art.
The Holla singer famously had a fling with Eddie Murphy (with whom she has a 10 year old daughter, Angel) - who had played the Beverly Hills cop on the big screen.

American news site TMZ claims Mel and her copper lover have been dating for the past few months after being introduced by mutual friends.
The report claims the romance is “low key” but that the pair are “nuts” for each other - with the copper joining Mel for a number of America’s Got Talent engagements, of which she is a judge.
However it is also suggested she likes dating a policeman because he carries a gun - with previous reports saying Mel was granted a restraining order against Stephen amid allegations he carries a gun.

Mirror Online have contacted a representative of Mel for comment.
Eddie Murphy, 56, played detective Axel Foley in the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy - with the first instalment released in 1984 and the final in 1994.
He had a fraught relationship with Mel in 2006 - with the actor rejecting the singer’s claims that she had fallen pregnant with his child.

Their daughter, Angel, was born on 3 April 2007 but it was not until 22 June that same year that Eddie conceded he was the father after a DNA test proved his paternity.
Mel subsequently married Stephen Belafonte on 6 June 2007 - with the shock revelation their marriage was over announced in March 2017.
