We knew it would come sooner or later. After 6 years of dating, Eddie Murphy and actress Paige Butcher will be tying the knot soon. Mr. Murphy and Miss Butcher share a two year old daughter and will be welcoming her sibling soon. Of course, everyone knows that the Beverly Hills Cop star is the proud papa of 8 older kids too, with three different women.
Now, it looks like the king of comedy is giving holy nuptials another chance.
“Eddie Murphy is preparing to tie the knot!
On Friday, a rep for the actor confirmed the happy news to PEOPLE.
The 57-year-old actor’s partner, Paige Butcher, was seen sporting a large diamond ring while running errands in Los Angeles on Thursday. Butcher, 39, is pregnant with the couple’s second child — and Murphy’s tenth.
The mother of one was photographed in a casual black top that hugged her bump and black leggings which she paired with black sunglasses and black sneakers as she headed into a HomeGoods store to pick up a rug.
The Australian actress first debuted her baby bump in August while in Los Angeles.
A rep for the actor told PEOPLE in a statement, “Eddie Murphy and longtime girlfriend Paige Butcher are pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child in December.”
The couple, who have been together since 2012, already share 2-year-old daughter Izzy Oona. A source told PEOPLE the two “are very happy to expect another baby.”
“They wished for a younger sibling for their daughter,” the insider said. “They live a pretty low-key life. They are all about family. Paige is very close to Eddie’s kids.”
We love to hear of families like this. Maybe Eddie and Mel B.’s daughter will be included in the wedding. Hopefully this will be a healing time for all the kids and their Moms.
We’ll keep you guys in the know about the newest Murphy baby and the upcoming wedding.
