On Monday, a representative for Murphy released a statement, “Eddie Murphy and longtime girlfriend Paige Butcher are pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child in December.” Murphy has always been proud to be a dad and told Entertainment Tonight, in 2016, about how happy all of his children make him. “They’re grown, I wouldn’t say ‘old.” He jokingly added, “None of my children are gray and balding.” Murphy’s children range in age from two years to twenty-nine years old, and the actor told ET how happy he is to have raised children for the last three decades. “The brightest part of my life is my kids. My world revolves around them — even the old, gray bald ones.”
