Eddie Murphy Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance with 7 of His 10 Kids — Fans Say His Family “Stole the Show”
Media Take Out has learned that comedy legend Eddie Murphy made a rare red carpet appearance this week — and he didn’t come alone. The 64-year-old superstar brought seven of his ten children to the premiere of his new Netflix documentary, Being Eddie, and the family completely stole the spotlight.
The event, held Wednesday night at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Los Angeles, turned into a full-on family reunion. Eddie walked the carpet with sons Eric, Christian, and Myles, along with daughters Bria, Shayne, Bella, and Zola. Standing proudly by his side was his longtime partner and wife, Paige Butcher.
The Murphys coordinated effortlessly for the big night, posing shoulder-to-shoulder for photographers in what many are calling one of the most iconic family red carpet photos in recent memory.
A Hollywood Legend Surrounded by His Legacy
In the center of the family shot, Eddie looked proud and relaxed, with his arm around Paige. His sons — Eric, 36; Christian, 34; and Myles, 33 — stood to his right, all flashing their father’s signature confident grin. On his left were daughters Bria, 35; Shayne, 31; Zola, 25; and Bella, 23, who all looked glamorous in sleek, elegant evening wear.
Eddie also shares three younger children — Angel, 18; Izzy, 9; and Max, 6 — who didn’t attend the premiere but were mentioned lovingly during his interviews.
Eddie Murphy Says Family Is His Greatest Achievement
In a recent interview promoting Being Eddie, the comedy icon reflected on his personal life and his large family. “I never knew I would have 10 kids, but now it’s the best thing ever,” Eddie explained. “If you can afford that many kids, you should have as many as you can. It’s fun.”
He added that his greatest pride isn’t his Hollywood success — it’s that “all my children are good people.”
Eddie shares five adult children with ex-wife Nicole Murphy, whom he divorced in 2006 after 13 years of marriage. He welcomed three more from previous relationships before having his youngest two children with Paige Butcher.
Keeping It Simple and Staying Grounded
Though he’s one of the most recognizable stars in the world, Eddie says he lives a surprisingly quiet life at home with Paige. “I’m really simple,” he joked. “You can always find me — Paige could tell you exactly what room I’m in at any time of day. I’m like a cat.”
That humility and sense of humor are part of why fans love him — and why Being Eddie is already being hailed as one of Netflix’s most anticipated celebrity documentaries of the year.
With ten children, a decades-long Hollywood career, and a brand-new Netflix film, Eddie Murphy continues to prove that comedy legends can also be devoted fathers. On the red carpet, surrounded by his beautiful family, it was clear: Eddie’s greatest role is Dad.
