The spice girl managed to walk away from her partner of ten years after she decided she was no longer happy.
In a interview on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, she said: 'I make big decisions. Leaving her dad was hard but I wasn't happy and she wasn't happy, and it wasn't the environment I wanted my child to grow up in.'

How many tattoos does Mel C have?
Mel C has 11 tattoos on her body.
These include a cross at the top of her left arm, a colourful dragon on her right leg and a Japanese symbol near her right shoulder.
But the singer regrets having so much body art done now, and wouldn't want her daughter to copy her.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping in 2012, Mel said: "I’d definitely discourage Scarlet from having tattoos. I’m looking into getting some of them removed.
"I think it was a great idea to get rid of them for the magazine photos – I wish you could do it permanently."
