Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher Get Married
Eddie Murphy and his longtime fiancée, Paige Butcher, have officially tied the knot! The couple exchanged vows on Tuesday, July 9, in a private ceremony in Anguilla, surrounded by their family and close friends. The intimate event was a joyous celebration of their love.
Eddie, 63, looked dapper in a stylish white suit, while 44-year-old Paige radiated beauty in a stunning corseted gown by Mira Zwillinger. The pair's love story has captured the hearts of many, and their wedding day marks a wonderful new chapter in their lives.
The couple's engagement became public in September 2018 when Paige was spotted wearing an engagement ring while out in Los Angeles. Eddie proposed after the two had a blossoming relationship that began six years after they starred together in "Big Momma’s House 2" in 2006. Since then, they have welcomed two children: daughter Izzy, born in May 2016, and son Max, born in November 2018.
This wedding is Paige's first marriage, while Eddie has walked down the aisle before. He was previously married to Nicole Murphy from 1993 to 2005, and they share five children together: Bria, Shayne, Zola, Bella, and Miles, born between 1989 and 2002. Eddie is also a father to three other children from different relationships: Eric, Christian, and Angel.
Eddie often expresses pride in his children, claiming, “I don’t have one bad seed.” During a March 2021 appearance on Marc Maron’s podcast, he shared how grateful he is for his kids, emphasizing that they are all well-adjusted and not the stereotypical “Hollywood kids.”
Hints about the couple's wedding plans surfaced last month when Eddie referred to Paige as his wife during an appearance on the New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast. He humorously noted his struggles with keeping up with celebrity culture, often asking Paige about popular figures and trends.
“I used to be so hip, but now there’s just so much going on,” he joked. “I ask my wife, ‘Who’s this person?’ and she tells me, ‘Well, that song is the biggest thing in the world.’ I don’t even know what’s happening anymore.”
As they embark on this new journey as a married couple, fans are excited to see what the future holds for Eddie and Paige. Their love story, filled with laughter and genuine affection, continues to inspire those around them.
