Hollywood star Eddie Murphy has returned to America with a new title – married man! The "Coming to America" star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Paige Butcher, in a beautiful and intimate Caribbean ceremony this week, according to People.
An Intimate Caribbean Ceremony
On Tuesday, surrounded by family and close friends, Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher said their vows in the stunning setting of Anguilla. Butcher, 44, looked breathtaking in a fitted lace gown with a corseted top by Tel Aviv-based designer Mira Zwillinger. Meanwhile, Murphy, 63, looked dapper in an off-white suit. Though Murphy's representatives have yet to comment on the nuptials, the surprise wedding comes shortly after Murphy referred to Butcher as his "wife" during a recent interview on The New York Times' "The Interview" podcast.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Murphy and Butcher have been a couple since 2012 and got engaged in 2018. They share two beautiful children: Izzy, 8, and Max, 5. In addition to Izzy and Max, Murphy is a father to eight other children from four previous relationships.
Murphy’s first child, Eric, was born in 1989 with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely. He has five children – daughters Bria, 34, Shayne, 29, Zola, 24, and Bella, 22, and son Myles, 31 – with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy. They separated in 2005 after 12 years of marriage. Murphy’s son Christian was born in 1990 with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood, and his daughter Angel was born in 2007 with Melanie Brown, also known as Mel B from the Spice Girls.
A Private Yet Romantic Relationship
Despite their public profiles, Murphy and Butcher have maintained a relatively private relationship over the years. In a 2020 interview with Extra at the Golden Globes, Butcher described Murphy as "very, very sweet and romantic." The couple made a rare public appearance together at the premiere of "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" in June, accompanied by three of Murphy's daughters.
A New Chapter Begins
This marriage marks Murphy's second and Butcher's first. Their wedding is a testament to their enduring love and commitment to each other. Fans of Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher are thrilled to see them embark on this new chapter of their lives together.
