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)
Tracey is such a beautiful woman. Kind of reminds me of Pebbles..
No I don’t really care.
This could end one of 2 ways. It could end up like Liza Minellie’s marriage to David Gest, or like Star Jones-Reynold’s marriage to Mr. Star Jones. I’m just sayin..
Best of luck to the happy couple. They look cute together.
Coorection, “Tracey is following the money and her career, not her heart (LOL). I am sure this is simply a business arrangement. I wonder what team Tracey plays for. She seems to almost always marry/date “questionable” guys.
Congratulations to the both of them! I hope that eddie is happy. If you don’t care why is there a post about it sandra??
That’s too many kids for me, but I wish them well.
I second that. TOOOOO many kids, but hey they have the money.
How many nanny’s I wonder with nine kids. I hope they took a private jet.
I can honestly say that I DO NOT CARE. And I love Eddie Murphy…but only in the movies. Could care less about his private life and extranneous activities poolside in a bungalow with an ex-N.E. member….allegedly. LOL
What else is happening?
WOW 9 thats too much I don’t care how much money you have that’s crazy!! She was fine being with Babyface if she was worried about her career I mean they started a music company, they had the Soulfood thing going I just don’t understand, oh well I just hope I don’t hear or read about them splitting or him cheating or another damn baby coming into the picture before the summer!!
Sandra obviously you care because you posted about it!
Tracey Edmonds is opportunistic.
Tracey is a beautiful woman, she’s an excellent buisness woman & positive role model. I wouldn’t marry Eddie (DeadBeat Dad) daughter born on his birthday for all the money in china. Tracey, don’t hit that raw…. I heard Johnny Gill was the best man… I do recall Nicole Murphy saying that Johnny Gill would sit at the head of their table & make her sit somewhere in the middle or something. May Eddie Murphy deserve her, congrats to you Tracey — we’ll see how this goes in 2008.
I don’t think Tracey is following her heart either. There is something else in it for her. She’s no dummy.
I can’t respect him or HER as a woman. How could you marry a man that won’t take responsibility for his child he had with Mel B.
Eddie is being boycotted by me…I don’t think he understand the severity of having a child and not taking and active part in her life.
He’s an embrassment to african americans…and on top of it he’s a closet GAY MAN!
This is clearly a business deal for Tracey. I doubt that she doesn’t know – and accept – Eddie’s lifestyle. He is good for her career-wise (white folks respect MARRIAGE) and he is good for her career-wise (he can open more doors than Babyface could). Seems like a win-win for both.
I meant: SHE is good for HIM career-wise (white folks respect MARRIAGE) and he is good for her career-wise (he can open more doors than Babyface could).
Actually, considering who we are talking about, I didn’t really have to change those pronouns…
Doe anyone notice how proviacative his first wife used to dress, and now Tracy looks to dress the same way? Eddie grosses me out, yall. It’s something about him that I can’t get past that won’t let me respect him as an actor, much less a man. YUCK!
nope, could care less! eddie need to be spending some time with his daughter….how could that not bother tracey? what does that say about his character? if he don’t respect his baby and see her, he damn sure ain’t gonna respect her dumb ass! she looks like a dummy to me….well, i guess she’s not dumb when it comes to business though…
Other than the obvious ‘wrongs’ of him (alternative lifestyle, not taking responsibility of his child)..I can’t get over his awful grill…ewwww!www.evilbeetgossip.com/…/08/eddiemurphy.jpg
Smokie I may have to disagree I saw Babyface on some show I can’t remember which one but he has a lot of connects & pull & not only that he is the only singer(brotha) to my knowledge that stayed in the white house of course when Clinton was in office Babyface to me seems like a workaholic but he is good at what he does I feel bad for him he seems so feeble & soft spoken but makes such good music as opposed to “My girl wants to party all the time” WTF as far as the Johnny Gill comment I guess he finally took Arsenio’s place (lol)
Baaaaby!!
Happy New Year! Yall are crazy! Eddie might be a lil “DL” but who give a EFF??
People have been saying that since he piced up the ‘tranny’ in LA…
You know I clicked the link and then realized I don’t really care about them enough to comment so my head went blank.
Hope everyone is having a great 2008 so far and may it just keep getting better and better
All I want to know is…is it true that Johnny Gill was the best man?
Sandra, to answer your question, NOPE! I do however wonder how long it will take for Eddie to try to get Johnny in the bed with them
I’m just saying, that chick has a thing for feminine men. *shrugs shoulder*
