‘5 Kids Where?’: Eddie Murphy’s Ex-Wife Nicole Murphy Breaks the Internet with Hot Bikini Pics as Actor Weds Fiancee of Six Years, Paige Butcher

One thing Nicole Murphy is going to do is serve the children looks. Proving to the world that age is just a number, the former model and mother of five took to Instagram to remind her followers what being in your 50s can look like.

Murphy shared a Flashback Friday post featuring her toned physique in a fuchsia two-piece swimsuit. Quoting fashion icon Coco Chanel, her caption read, “BEAUTY BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU DECIDE TO BE YOURSELF.”

While the meaning behind her post seemed to be extremely personal, most in her comment section agree that the Sacramento bombshell has been beautiful for a long time and contend she remains one of the baddest females on the internet.

“Okay… You killing the game,” one person wrote, as someone else said, “You never miss. Damn.”

A few people had questions, like “Why r u trying to shut the Whole internet down” and “Gurlll 5 kids where? Beautiful.”

One fan hopped in the comments to share that Murphy is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

“I met you a few years ago in the ladies room at a gala event in Beverly Hills and you were so nice and actually told me I looked great,” the person shared.  “I was like ok you gorgeous model woman person. Hahah. You look amazing and are even more beautiful on the inside.”

So beautiful is the former reality star a few of the world’s biggest names have fallen at her feet, including her ex-husband movie star Eddie Murphy, comedian Nick Cannon, NBA legend Michael Jordan and Hall of Fame football player and television personality Michael Strahan.

The picture, which was posted a day after the Fourth of July, gives a glimpse into why she has been a Hollywood “Iit” girl since meeting “The Beverly Hills Cop” star in 1988.

However, in addition to being a buxom beauty, she is also a businesswoman. Over the years, Murphy, who has an estimated net worth of $10 million, has leveraged her public persona into a series of successful business ventures, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and interests. From fitness to skincare, jewelry, and wine, Murphy’s endeavors reflect a savvy understanding of lifestyle trends and consumer demands for the rich and famous.

While Nicole was sharing photos of her awesome tan, her ex-husband was secretly on a Caribbean island reciting his vows to his longtime girlfriend.

People magazine reports that on July 9, Eddie Murphy and 44-year-old Australian model Paige Butcher secretly tied the knot in Anguilla. The couple, who began dating in 2012, got engaged in September 2018 and share two children: a daughter, Izzy Oona, 8, and a son, Max Charles, 5.

Murphy is a father of 10 children in total. He has five children with Nicole Murphy: Shayne Audra Murphy, 29; Bria Murphy, 34; Myles Mitchell Murphy, 31; Bella Murphy, 22; Zola Ivy Murphy, 24. He also has a son, Eric, 34, with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, a son, Christian,33, with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood, and a daughter Angel, 17, with Spice Girl singer Melanie Brown.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
