Eddie Murphy Has Quite a Large Family! Learn All About the Comedy Legend’s 10 Kids

Eric Murphy

Eddie experienced parenthood for the first time when he welcomed his eldest son, Eric, on July 10, 1989, alongside his then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely. On Eric’s 32 birthday in 2021, his girlfriend, who just so happens to be Martin Lawrence‘s daughter Jasmin, shared a selfie of the two, writing in the caption, “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side. Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”

Bria Murphy

Just four months after the birth of his first kiddo, Eddie welcomed his daughter Bria alongside Nicole Mitchell Murphy on November 18, 1989.

The brunette beauty caught the acting bug like her dad as she’s appeared in a few films. Per IMDb, Bria has acting credits in Baby Daddy, Mr. Box Office, The Start Up and most recently The Line in 2019.

Christian Murphy

Christian arrived on November 29, 1990, during Eddie’s relationship with Tamara Hood. Though he’s the son of one of Hollywood’s most famous comedians, Christian has lived the majority of his life out of the spotlight, aside from supporting his dad at red carpet events through the years.

Miles Mitchell Murphy

After getting back together with Nicole, Eddie and the Hollywood Exes alum expanded his family with the birth of their son Miles on November 7, 1992. One year later, the couple finally tied the knot in 1993.

Though it’s unclear exactly what Miles does for work, we do know he shares his only child, Evie, with his girlfriend Carly Olivia. While chatting with Vanity Fair, Eddie marveled over his role as a grandfather, saying “there’s no sweeter blessing than seeing your grandchild.”

Shayne Audra Murphy

Shayne, who is Eddie’s fifth child and his third with Nicole, was born on October 10, 1994. Shayne tested her talents on the TV screen when she appeared on VH1’s Hollywood Exes in 2014 with her mom. Though she doesn’t have any other credits, according to IMDb.

However, Shayne is a social media influencer with more than 57 thousand followers on Instagram. There, she posts tons of photos while traveling, spending time with friends and modeling her favorite outfits.

Zola Ivy Murphy

Eddie and Nicole welcomed the actor’s sixth child, Zola, on December 24, 1999. Though Zola has yet to follow in her dad’s acting footsteps, she has appeared alongside her mom and older sister on Hollywood Exes. For the most part, you can catch Zola posting pics on her adventures on Instagram.

Bella Zahra Murphy

Bella, Eddie’s seventh little one, was born to him and Nicole on January 29, 2002. It appears Bella has plans to pave a career in Hollywood. She made her acting debut alongside her dad in the 2021 film Coming 2 America and starred in an episode of Hulu’s Dollface the following year.

When Eddie opened up about his daughter’s role, he insisted Bella earned the gig on her own. “She had to really be able to — you know, to deliver,” he told Good Morning America in February 2021. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten the role.”

Angel Iris Murphy Brown

After five kids and nearly three decades of history, Eddie and Nicole split in 2006. However, he expanded his family the following year when daughter Angel arrived on April 3, 2007. Eddie welcomed his kiddo during his relationship with Mel B. Though she’s young, Angel has made a few appearances with her dad at A-list events.

Izzy Oona Murphy

Just when you thought he was done, Eddie became a father for the ninth time after meeting Paige Butcher. The couple’s first child together, Izzy, came along on May 3, 2016. At the time, People reported Izzy weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and measured 19.5 inches long. She’s grown up a bit since then!
