Though Melanie and Eddie’s reps have refused to confirm on deny the pregnancy, the 45-year-old actor simply smiled when he was congratulated by reporters outside LA club Hyde on Tuesday night.

A source tells TMZ.com that 31-year-old Melanie told staff at hip West Hollywood boutique Le Bra Lingerie about her pregnancy during a shopping spree on Saturday.

A frequent shopper at the store, Melanie allegedly told staffers that the pregnancy had her feeling tired and that she was concerned she may be carrying twins, since they run in Eddie’s family.

The ex-Spice Girl apparently left the store with almost 5,000 dollars’ worth of Eres lingerie for herself and about 300 dollars’ worth of La Perla men’s undershirts and underwear for Eddie.

Eddie’s divorce from his ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, with whom he has five children, became final in April. The actor also has a son, Christian, from a previous relationship.

Melanie has a seven-year-old daughter from her marriage to Jimmy Gulzar.
