The Oscar nominee, Eddie Murphy, 63, and the Australian model, Paige Butcher, 44, have tied the knot after first getting engaged in September 2018. The two also share an 8-year-old daughter, Izzy Oona, and a 5-year-old son, Max Charles.

Murphy and Butcher got married on Tuesday, 9 July in Anguilla during a small private ceremony in front of family and close friends. Butcher wore a corseted gown adorned with lace designed by Mira Zwillinger, while the groom wore a white Brioni suit.

This marks the second marriage for Murphy and the first for Butcher.

The news of their nuptials comes less than a month after Murphy and Butcher stepped out together during the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiere in Los Angeles on 20 June. At the Netflix event, the two were joined on the red carpet by his daughters, Bria, 34, Shayne Audra, 29, and Bella Zahra, 22 — whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole, 56.

Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cop costar, Judge Reinhold, recently told PEOPLE, “He’s crazy about his kids and his family. He’s a family guy at heart. Truly is. He really is”.

Murphy and Butcher began dating in 2012. The pair welcomed their first child together, Izzy, on 3 May 2016. The couple then welcomed their second child, Max, on 30 November 2018, two months after getting engaged.

While Butcher doesn’t often do interviews, she spoke about her then-fiancé on the red carpet at the 2020 Golden Globes.

When asked what he whispered to her on the red carpet, Murphy told Extra, “I told her how wonderful she looks”. Butcher then chimed in, saying, “He actually says that kind of stuff all the time. He’s very, very sweet and romantic”.

Three years later, Murphy thanked Butcher, along with his children for their “love and support”, when he was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the same award event.

Murphy, who is a father of 10, is also a parent to Eric, 34, Christian, 33, Myles Mitchell, 31, Zola Ivy, 24, and Angel Iris, 17.
