EDDIE Murphy has starred in a number of of legendary comedies including Coming to America and Trading Places.
Eddie, who stars in the eagerly-anticipated Coming 2 America, is now engaged again, but what do we know about past his partners?
How many times has Eddie Murphy been married?
Eddie Murphy has been married once, but has been in several relationships.
He was married to Nicole Mitchell from 1993 until their divorce in 2006.
He then dated Scary Spice, Mel B, from 2006-2007 and Tracy Edmonds in 2008.
The comedian is currently engaged to Australian actress Paige Butcher.
She was born on October 6, 1979, in Perth, Australia and has starred in Something’s Gotta Give and Big Momma’s House 2.
Paige and Eddie have been in a relationship since 2012, but the two keep notoriously private.
When they got together, she deleted all of her social media accounts.
She said in 2013: “I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there.
“I felt like I was giving out too much information.
“I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now.”
How many kids does Eddie Murphy have?
The actor has a whopping 10 children with five different women.
Paulette McNeely is the mother of his first born son, Eric Murphy.
Ex-wife Nicole whom he was married to for 13 years, gave birth to five of his children: Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola and Bella.
Mel B is the mother of his daughter Angel.
Paige Butcher gave birth to her and Eddie’s first child together, a daughter named Izzy Oona Murphy, in 2016.
In August 2018, Eddie’s rep confirmed that the couple were expecting their second child – Eddie’s tenth, a son named Max Charles Murphy.
“I really got lucky with my kids,” Eddie told People magazine in 2016.
“There really isn’t a bad one in the bunch, everyone turned out to be really good people.”
When does Coming 2 America come out?
Coming to America was released in 1988, but last year, it was announced that a sequel would be released.
Eddie explained: “This is the perfect time to return to Zamunda because it’s been a while since we’ve had a great comedy that everybody can enjoy.
“Zamunda is a very funny place, and the world needs that right now.”
Coming 2 America will be released on Amazon Prime Video on March 5, 2021.

Speaking about the film, Eddie said: “My favorite part of reuniting with the cast of Coming to America was making a movie that’s as good as the first one.
“Getting everybody together, including Arsenio Hall, Shari Headley, John Amos, James Earl Jones and the rest of my royal family, and making a really great movie, that’s my favorite part.”
