MELANIE Brown is currently in the process of divorcing her husband of ten years Stephen Belafonte, and now nanny Lorraine Gilles' name has been brought into the ordeal.
The Spice Girl reportedly filed for divorce from husband Stephen Belafonte mid-March 2017.
Abuse claims on behalf of Melanie Brown — better known by her stage name as Mel B — alleged the Hollywood presenter "punched", "choked" and "slammed her to the floor".
Lorraine Gilles, who was previously nanny to the 41-year-old's three children Phoenix, 18, Angel, 10, and Madison, 5, is now also at the centre on the messy divorce process, as Mel B alleged her estranged husband got Lorraine pregnant.
From the former X Factor judge's affair and abortion claims to Lorraine's own love life, here's what you need to know about the serrated couple's nanny.
The 26-year-old worked for the Brown-Belafonte family for years, as the couple welcomed their first child together in September 2011.
The German nanny appeared to have a close relationship with the couple, as the celebs' social media pictures showed her posing with Mel, Stephen and the children in a series of snaps.
One picture even showed Melanie kissing Lorraine on the check and sending her birthday wishes, showing just how intimate their relationship had once been.
As the world famous singer files for divorce from the father of her youngest child, more details about their private life are emerging.
In the divorce papers, Mel B reportedly claims the nanny fell pregnant with her husband's baby, and that Stephen wanted "all three of us to live together".
Mel claims he then changed his mind and proceeded to pay her (with the Spice Girl's money) to abort the baby.
In her legal documents to the court, Mel alleges Stephen would degrade the singer by comparing the two and was angered when the singer finally fired the nanny in 2015.
Speaking to TMZ on camera, the 41-year-old dad denied Mel's claims. He said: "I haven't heard these allegations. You know what my comment on this is, as this is the mother of my children?"
Stephen continued: "I'm really really distraught my brain how this is going to affect our children. and the depths that she's gone to. That's it. I'm shocked at those allegations and that's what it is."
But what does the nanny at the centre of the sticky divorce have to say?
Lorraine hasn't spoken about the high-profile dispute to date, but her sister has.
According to sis Jacqueline Baartz, the allegations hold no truth and in fact the 26-year-old beauty is happily married.
Jacqueline told The Sun: "My sister and I are very, very close and I would have known about this, believe me."
She continued: “She never was involved sexually with him. I don’t know where this is coming from. She worked for the family for seven years and had nothing but positive experiences... I am shocked to hear of this side of a relationship because it was not one that was displayed to us."
Mel's former nanny is married to events manager Michael Bleau, 32, and they currently live together in LA.
