The Spice Girls star is mom to three kids — Angel and daughters Phoenix, 26, and Madison, 13.
Although Mel B may be one of the most iconic pop stars ever, her kids don't seem to think of her as anything other than mom. While appearing on a January 2024 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, the singer talked with host Jennifer Hudson about receiving an honor from the Queen, which led Hudson to ask if Mel B's kids think she is cool.
"No. I mean, I've got a 12-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 24-year-old," Mel B said at the time. "I mean my 24-year-old thinks I'm kind of cool now because all my clothes have come back 'round in fashion."
"So my oldest daughter, she goes into my wardrobes and I see her stealing things. But I'm, oh well. It's fine," she said.
"So do they know their mom is a Spice Girl?" Hudson asked.
"I don't think they care that I'm a Spice Girl," Mel B responded, laughing. "I mean I was playing my music the other day before we went to see Hamilton, and I was like, 'Hey kids, who do you think this is?' And they were like, 'I don't know, is it Lady Gaga?' I was like, 'No.'"
"'What kind of music is this Mommy?' I was like, 'It's Spice Girls music that we wrote.' They were like, 'Really?'" she remembered.
"But I think with their friends, I'm kind of cool," Mel B said.
Back in 2017, Mel B shared some insight into Angel's personality, telling PEOPLE in 2017 that he is an independent and inventive person.
“Angel is very much in [his] own little world and very creative with the computer and making things and decorating [his] room," Brown shared of her teen at the time.
