Mel B Stephen Belafonte katsuya dress hollywood legs Mel B and Stephen Belafonte are on the rocks ... or are they? Dean Piper, reporter for UK's The Mirror, claims that Belafonte confessed the following in an "emotional" phone conversation:

    “Dude, it’s over. Mel’s coming back to the UK soon – but I won’t be coming with her.”


X17online photographers caught the couple, who have been married for three years, leaving Hollywood hotspot Katsuya holding hands ... the same day that this report of their alleged split surfaced.

However, in the conversation with The Mirror's reporter, Belafonte added:

    “There’s been problems lately. I don’t know what’s happening.”


What is happening is a reality show on The Style Network called The Mel B Project ... about the former Spice Girl and her family life. Could this all be a stunt to drum up publicity for the new show?

Reports claim jealously may be to blame for their rocky relationship. The timing is a bit ironic ... don't ya think?
