In 1989, Eddie Murphy had his first child, Eric, with Paulette McNeely. That birth was followed in 1990 with another child who Murphy shares with Tamara Hood — a son named Christian (via Closer Weekly). He has five children (Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella) with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell — the two were married from 1993 to 2006 (via Parade). In 2007, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown had a daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, and Murphy is the father (via People). Murphy also has a daughter, Izzy, who was born in 2016, and a son, Max, who was born in 2018, with his current fiancée, Paige Butcher (via Distractify).
While Murphy has only been officially married once in his life, he did enter into a "symbolic union" with Tracey Edmonds in 2008. However, just two weeks later, they told TMZ that their romantic relationship was over and that they would "remain friends."
