Eddie Murphy, the renowned comedy legend, has finally tied the knot with his longtime fiancée Paige Butcher in an intimate ceremony in Anguilla on Tuesday, July 9. The couple, who had been engaged for nearly six years, exchanged vows surrounded by close friends and family in a picturesque Caribbean setting.
The bride, 44, looked radiant in a stunning Mira Zwillinger wedding gown that accentuated her figure, complemented by a cascading veil. Murphy, 63, cut a dashing figure in a crisp white Brioni suit. Photos from the ceremony captured the couple standing beneath an arc of white flowers, with Paige holding a bouquet of white blossoms as guests looked on.
Murphy and Butcher’s love story spans over a decade, having first started dating in 2012 before becoming engaged in 2018. They share two children together: daughter Izzy Oona, 8, and son Max Charles, 5. This marriage marks Butcher’s first walk down the aisle, while it’s the second for Murphy, who was previously married to actress Nicole Mitchell Murphy from 1993 to 2006.
The “Beverly Hills Cop” star is father to ten children in total, including five with his ex-wife Nicole, and others from previous relationships. His large, blended family is a testament to Murphy’s dedication to fatherhood, a role he has embraced alongside his illustrious career in entertainment.
Interestingly, Murphy had recently hinted at the marriage during an appearance on The New York Times podcast “The Interview,” where he referred to Butcher as his “wife” twice while discussing his current lifestyle and viewing habits.
Butcher has previously spoken about Murphy’s romantic nature, sharing at the 2020 Golden Globes that he frequently compliments her and is “very sweet and romantic.”
This joyous occasion marks a new chapter for the couple, who have been a steady presence in each other’s lives for over a decade. As they embark on this new journey together, fans and well-wishers around the world celebrate the union of one of Hollywood’s most enduring comedic talents and his longtime love.
