Eddie Murphy is a father of many children and a lover of women. Recently, his tenth child was born from his current lover - Australian model Paige Butcher. The actor is going to marry her soon.
Eddie Murphy has 10 children today. But calling him an ideal father is unlikely to work. Children are born of different women and the actor does not communicate with some of his heirs today.
Five heirs
Murphy is considered a real ladies' man. His love of love is legendary in Hollywood today. Despite this, Eddie was able to live with his first wife for a long 18 years, during which the star couple had five heirs at once.
The actor's future wife Nicole Mitchell was born in California. From a young age, the girl decided to try to develop her career in show business. Already at the age of 10, she actively starred in advertising and earned money for the whole family. It was this kind of public life that brought Nicole to Eddie. The future spouses met at one of the secular parties.
Murphy also strove for the stage from childhood. At first, he simply supported his father, who in his free time worked as a comedian, and then independently began to develop in this direction. Eddie began to make people laugh with his original performances at school. At an older age, he easily managed to get to the Hollywood Olympus and gain a foothold on it.
When Murphy ran into his wife at a public event (in 88), which brought together many stars, he immediately felt a spark running between them. Later, he said that already at the moment of meeting Nicole, he realized that she would become his legal wife and would be there. Almost immediately, the couple began to meet, and after a couple of weeks - to live together. In 89, the lovers had their first daughter, Bria, and two years later, their son, Miles. Interestingly, the couple was not scheduled. For a long time Eddie could not decide to make his beloved a marriage proposal. Therefore, they got married only in 93, when the children grew up.
The wedding of the star spouses turned out to be truly luxurious. The celebration was attended by about 500 guests, including many celebrities. For the banquet, the bride and groom chose the Plaza Hotel in New York. Murphy spent huge sums on the bride's dress and wedding cake. An outfit for Nicole was sewn by an eminent designer, and its cost in the end turned out to be about 40 thousand dollars. And the whole celebration to this day is considered one of the most expensive in America.
After the wedding, the couple went on a long vacation. First, the newlyweds rested in the Caribbean, then in Jamaica. After arriving in New York, the couple returned to work. Both Eddie and Nicole continued to actively develop their careers. In addition, between 1994 and 2002, the couple had three more children. The star family was considered quite strong, so many fans were surprised that Nicole filed for divorce in 2005. A year later, the couple finally divorced.
Later, Mitchell said that even during their marriage, Eddie could not live without female attention on the side. The actor openly cheated on his wife and did not even hide the novels from her. Each time Nicole tried to explain to herself that they had an open relationship and forgave the chosen one. During their married life, Eddie had two children on the side of different women: Eric from P. McKneely and Christian from T. Good. True, not a single connection grew into a serious romance. Each time Murphy returned to his wife.
Paternity scandal
After his divorce, the actor did not remain lonely for long. He soon began an affair with one of the former Spice Girls. It came as no surprise to anyone that soon after the start of the relationship, the girl became pregnant. True, this news did not push Murphy to marriage, but, on the contrary, scared him. It turned out that Eddie was not at all going to have joint children with Melanie Brown, but hoped for a short romance.
As a result, the actor tried to disown little Angel, who was born on the day of his 46th birthday. Eddie stated that he doubted his paternity. A couple of months later, Melanie publicly announced the results of the examination. They confirmed the actor's paternity. Despite this, Murphy refused to acknowledge the child and communicate with him. This situation in the relationship between the actor and the singer persists to this day.
Second wife
In 2008, Eddie again played a magnificent wedding. His second wife was Tracy Edmonds. But two weeks later, the couple announced that the wedding ceremony was only symbolic, and they decided to end their relationship. Children in a two-week marriage did not appear.
For the past 7 years, the actor has been in a relationship with Paige Butcher. In the fall of 2018, the couple got engaged. During their romance, two more children were born - daughter Izzy Una and son Max. Murphy himself, in his interviews, very frankly says that he still remains a womanizer and adores women. He notes that only that girl who agrees to an open relationship and is ready to endure the actor's weaknesses will be able to stay with him for a long time.
