Eddie Murphy has 10 children from five different relationships throughout his life. And that he has also shown that that love for children remains no matter what.
The comedian, whose career took off in 1980 in stand-up, has a large and loving family. He started her with Paulette McNeely, with whom he had his first son, Eric, in 1989. Shortly after, in 1990, he began dating Tamara Hood, with whom he welcomed his son.
In 1993, he married model Nicole Mitchell, with whom he had five children: Bria, Shayne, Zola, Bella, and Miles. In 2005, after more than a decade together, they began the divorce process, which ended in 2006.
Although they did not give much information about what led them to separate, they commented that they have a friendly connection: “He is the father of my babies, so we talk to each other and we have a great relationship, and I think that is important when you have children involved,” Mitchell said.
In 2006, Eddie, who was also in a relationship with Whitney Houston, began dating former Spice Girl Melanie Brown. With her, he had a girl in 2007: Angel Iris. Although, at first, the actor did not recognize that she was her daughter, after a paternity test it was shown that she was.
In 2008, the actor shared a relationship, as well as a symbolic marriage, with television producer Tracey Edmonds. However, the union was brief and that same year they announced their separation.
In 2012, when Murphy was 51 years old, he had a connection with Australian model Paige Butcher, 18 years his junior. They met in 2006 on the set of the film My Grandma's Danger 2, in which Butcher had a supporting role. However, that moment would change the future of both of them, because although nothing happened at that moment, later, the comedian began to look for her, since he had been amazed by her personality.
In 2016, the engaged couple had their first daughter, Izzy. A couple of years later, in 2018, they had their second baby, Max Charles, who was named after the actor's late brother.
Thus, Murphy is the proud father of 6 daughters and 4 sons. Currently, they are between 4 and 33 years of age. In addition, he is now a grandfather, as his son Miles, 30, welcomed a baby.
Regarding fatherhood, the comedian has mentioned how present he is in the lives of each of the members of his large family: “I want to continue being the person I am and spend as much time as I can with my family and the people I love (because ) my career, or who I am as an artist, is not at the center of my life. At the center of my life are my family and my children.”
Paige has also been seen hanging out with all the members of the Murphy family, and even with the actor's ex-wife, Nicole. The couple keeps their personal life private, as neither of them has social media and they are not seen much at events together. But when it comes to family, expressions of love are present.
