Eddie Murphy found his better half in Paige Butcher, aged 51, and they’ve mastered the art of having a blended family

Since the 1980s, we’ve been graced with Eddie Murphy’s talent in stand-up shows, skits and movies that never get old and always manage to make us laugh. Little did we know, however, that Murphy also scored in real life — today he’s raising his ten children with his love of life, Paige Butcher. The path was not easy, but the love and devotion they feel for each other made it all worthwhile.

we, from awesome.club, we like epic love stories and blended families. That’s why we decided to tell you more details about the Murphy family. Good reading!

Over the years, Eddie Murphy’s love life has been a roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs. Around the end of the 1980s, Murphy became the father of two children, Eric and Christian, to his ex-girlfriends Paulette McNeely and Tamara Hood.

He married Nicole Mitchell in 1993 after meeting her in 1988, and they had five children together: Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola and Bella. However, they announced their separation in 2006 without fuss.

In the same year, the comedian began dating ex-Spice Girl Melanie Brown, with whom he had a daughter, Angel. Murphy had doubts about the pregnancy, but a paternity test confirmed he was the father.

Finally, in 2008, Murphy briefly bonded with television producer and personality Tracey Edmonds. The two had a “symbolic marriage” with unlawful vows, in a private ceremony in Bora Bora. However, two weeks later, they announced the end of the relationship.

Paige Butcher is an Australian actress and model who worked from a young age to reach the top. Early in her acting career, she landed a supporting role in 2006’s Granny…Zone 2, when she met her future boyfriend, Eddie Murphy. Nothing happened back then, but things were about to change.

Murphy and Butcher started dating in 2012 and when they got together, she deleted all of her social media accounts. She explained her decision in 2013: “I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there was enough about me out there. It was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much privacy as possible now.”

Since then, the couple has maintained a great relationship. She didn’t mind making things official, because she felt good just having fun. Murphy bragged to her friends — she’s one of those girls who makes everyone jealous…

He proposed to her after six years of dating and with a daughter and son on the way. The couple is known for keeping things private, but surely the proposal must have been as fascinating as their love and respect for each other.

Murphy and Butcher have a lot in common, and charity work is one of them. Although the actor has been associated with numerous charities and causes, such as monetary donations to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Martin Luther King Jr. Center and has donated 500 thousand reais to the humanitarian aid fund for the Actors Association, Butcher also likes to donate his time and money to charitable organizations.

The beautiful Australian is passionate about building homes with Habitat for Humanity. She began her journey in this field by participating in a sports program for children with special needs, then in nursing homes, as well as volunteering in nursing homes. She is a true giver, as she once mentioned: “I always wanted to do charity. I am an educator and I love taking care of people”.

When the lovebirds started dating, Murphy was already the father of eight children from previous relationships. After the birth of his daughter in 2016 and his son in 2019, Murphy became a father of ten, and his children’s ages range from two to 31.

Murphy is very proud of his kids and family and shared, “The brightest part of my life is my kids. My world revolves around them.” And he added: “I have indeed been lucky with my children. There really isn’t a bad thing in the group, they’ve all become very good people.”

On the other hand, Butcher managed to make it work, despite the many ex-wives, ex-girlfriends and children. She has proven herself to be a loving mother and stepmother, and the couple has certainly mastered the art of having a blended family.
