Eddie Murphy’s Secret Wedding

In an intimate ceremony, hidden from the public eye, the sound of wedding bells echoed as renowned comedian Eddie Murphy and Australian model Paige Butcher pledged their vows. This private event, held in the serene setting of Anguilla on July 9, was attended by a close-knit group of family and friends. People magazine had the exclusive privilege of sharing photos from this special occasion.

The love story of this couple took root in 2012, blossoming into a heartfelt engagement in September 2018. Their bond has been blessed with two children, an 8-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son, who were welcomed into the world in 2016 and 2018 respectively.

Murphy, a father to ten children, leads a vibrant and diverse family life. His gratitude towards Paige and his children was palpable during his acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards: “I want to say thank you to Paige and all of my amazing children for your love, support, and inspiration.”

Eddie Murphy, renowned for his comedic genius, embarks on his second marital voyage, this time with Paige Butcher, who is stepping into matrimony for the first time. Meanwhile, Murphy’s return to the silver screen has been marked by his reprisal of the unforgettable character, Axel Foley, in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.” This Netflix offering, which has been available since July 3, has been enthralling viewers across the globe.

In this fourth installment of the series, Axel Foley joins forces with Detective Bobby Abbott, brought to life by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The plot thickens as Foley reunites with his old allies, John Taggart and Billy Rosewood, to unravel a gripping conspiracy. This unique blend of romance and suspense in Murphy’s personal and professional life continues to keep his fans intrigued.

Reflecting on reprising the role, Murphy humorously shared, “It felt like old man. I did Beverly Hills Cop when I was 21, and I’m 63 now.” He added, “Axel is an everyman. He’s not a superhero or a super-cop; he’s the relatable character who rises to the occasion. And more than anything, he’s funny.”
