OK! and HELLO magazines report that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds tied the knot in a private island off the coast of Bora Bora yesterday. It was previously reported that they would marry in Tahiti on December 28th.
The couple said “I do” before 25 close family and friends. Tracey Murphy became an instant mommy to Eddie’s 7 kids. She already has 2 boys by ex-husband, songwriter, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.
Despite the persistent rumors about Eddie Murphy lifestyle, Tracey is willing to give marriage another shot. She should be commended for ignoring all the rumors and following her heart.
The exotic nuptials took place at sunset on a secluded stretch of shoreline on a private island off the coast of Bora Bora in French Polynesia. The happy couple, who have been dating for just over a year and got engaged in July, exchanged their vows in front of 25 close friends and family.
It was a dream come true for the pair – both of whom have been married once previously – who spoke out last year about their desires for an intimate wedding.
“We both have the same idea of what we want. We want to make it fun and casual – small,” said 40-year-old Tracey, who divorced her first husband, R&B superstar Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, after 13 years of marriage in 2005. “Eddie’s got some fantastic, beautiful fun kids and I’ve got two wonderful boys,” she added, “so it’ll be nice to get everybody together.” (Source)
