A photo posted by Stephen Belafonte that jokes he and newly-estranged wife Mel B had embarked on a threesome has emerged online.

Taking to Instagram last year, the 41-year-old had shared a saucy snap belonging to Kim Kardashian, and tagged Mel, teasing fans that he and the Spice Girl were involved.

The reappearance of the photo - featuring two women and one man with his hand between their thighs - comes in light of claims from his brother Jeremiah that the couple had an 'open and loose' relationship - which led to their divorce.

Funny man: A photo posted by Stephen Belafonte that jokes he and newly-estranged wife Mel B had embarked on a threesome has emerged online

The joke began when Kim Kardashian shared a number of racy black and white snaps to her Instagram, while at a friend's wedding in Miami with husband Kanye West.

Clearly in a playful mood, the film producer then shared one of the images to his own page - and joked that two of the individuals were him and the singer.

The sexy photo depicted a man fondling one woman's thigh, while his head rested on another's stomach, beside her hand clad with fake nails and a dazzling ring.

Fun and games: However Kim later explained the photos had just been a bit of 'fun' at the bash, which Mel and Stephen had actually been present at with her and Kanye West (above)

Poking fun with fans, he wrote beside the shot: 'Is that my mouth?? Is that @officialmelb ring?'

However Kim later made sense of her selection of risqué photos from the bash, which Mel and Stephen had actually been present at.

She took to her app to explain that none of the implied antics had happened, but that the photos were instead a creative experiment by the group.

Troubled: However the photo's resurfacing comes as Stephen's brother Jeremiah claimed it was Stephen and Mel's 'open' relationship that led to the breakdown of their marriage

She said on her app: 'It's been a while since our friends have been together and all dressed up, so we were just feeling inspired and wanted to take fun pics.'

'It was a different way to capture moments from the night. We were all so into snapping and coming up with different ideas.'

However the photo's resurfacing comes as Stephen's brother Jeremiah claimed it was Stephen and Mel's 'open' relationship that led to the breakdown of their marriage.

Extra additions: Speaking to the Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia, Jeremiah said the couple enjoyed 'a very fun loose open kind of relationship' - but Stephen ' like a kid in a candy store'

Speaking to the Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia, Jeremiah said the couple enjoyed 'a very fun loose open kind of relationship' - but Stephen 'was looking at it like a kid in a candy store'.

He said of the situation: 'In my opinion - and I am only giving my opinion here - if you're not a very mature person and you're not very solid, if you're going to look at that as a licence to then do whatever the hell you want the someone is going to end up feeling unappreciated.'

Stephen's brother went on to speculate that their relationship may have broken down because the movie producer wasn't being receptive of Melanie's feelings.

Saucy: Not stopping there, Mel's brother-in-law went on to claim the pair often involved strippers in the bedroom

'He's not a bad guy by any means but he can be a little rough around the edges and he wasn't probably picking up on the signs that Melanie wasn't quite happy,' Jeremiah said.

Not stopping there, Mel's brother-in-law went on to discuss their alleged sexual escapades to the Daily Star, claiming they often involved strippers in the bedroom.

'They liked to bring a stripper over and have a little fun and stuff like that.'

The photo surfaced the same day that Mel was seen heading to a divorce lawyer in LA - after filing for divorce from Stephen last week.

The pair married in Las Vegas in 2007, but Mel is thought to have decided on the split in a 'moment of clarity' following the death of her father Martin, who lost his battle with multiple myeloma cancer in March.

The star had returned to her home town of Leeds soon after to attend the funeral alongside her family - who she is believed to have reconciled with since announcing her separation.

The performer had reportedly been in a fall out with her mother Andrea and younger sister Danielle for eight years, over their dislike for 'controlling' Stephen, also 41.

Mel has yet to release any kind of statement about the divorce, but she is thought to be seeking joint custody for their five-year-old daughter Madison.
