Eddie Murphy is set to become a grandfather again: his eldest daughter, Bria Murphy, is pregnant with her first child. The news became public on Nov. 12, 2025, at the Los Angeles premiere of Murphy’s new documentary Being Eddie, where Bria proudly displayed her baby bump on the red carpet.
Bria, 35, is expecting the baby with her husband, actor Michael Xavier, whom she married in July 2022 in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills attended by around 250 friends and family.
A Growing Family Legacy
This upcoming arrival marks the third grandchild for Eddie Murphy. He is already a grandfather to two daughters, Evie and Zuri, via his son Myles.
Bria is one of ten children Eddie Murphy has from multiple relationships. She is his eldest daughter with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, born Nov. 18, 1989.
Bria’s Career & Personal Journey
Bria has followed in her father’s creative footsteps. She is an actress, with credits in The Game, Love That Girl, and Conflict of Interest, and she even appeared alongside Eddie in Daddy Day Care.
Beyond acting, she is a talented painter. Eddie has publicly praised her work, previously attending her gallery show and calling her “really talented.”
Reactions From Dad
While Bria and Michael shared the moment at the red carpet event, Eddie Murphy did not make a big public statement at the time — but his long-standing pride in his children suggests he’s thrilled. He has, in past interviews, spoken tenderly about Bria’s talents and her place in his life.
What’s Next
Bria and Michael have not yet revealed a due date or many details about the pregnancy. But her public appearance at her father’s documentary premiere suggests the family is celebrating this new chapter. Fans and media alike will likely follow with interest as more news emerges.
