London, Dec 19 (IANS): Mel B's husband Stephen Belafonte says that he loves his wife to the point that he can even take a bullet for the former Spice girl.
There have been rumours that the couple are going thorugh troubled married life but Belafonte denies the reports by saying that he "had nothing to do with hurting my wife."
"I did not touch Mel. I didn't hit her. I wasn't cheating or anything. There was no girl involved. How long have you been married? How many arguments do you have? I find it really sad nobody would like for Mel, or us, to be happy.
"You think about where you've been and what you've been through. I love my wife. I care about my wife. I'd take a bullet for her. I've got to consistently grow a little bit. But I do want to get old with my wife and have grandchildren," he told The Sun newspaper.
Belafonte, who has three-year-old daughter Madison with Mel and 10-year-old Giselle from a previous relationship, also dismissed criticism over his decision to return to Los Angeles at the weekend while his wife was still receiving hospital treatment for exhaustion, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"How many times in life have I gone somewhere and Mel's stayed somewhere else? At the end of the day, I have children and I have a wife.
"I protect my wife and my children with my life. That's just the way it is. It doesn't matter if people think I'm a good guy or a bad guy," he added.
