July is Eddie Murphy’s month.
The Oscar nominated actor-comedian reportedly married his long-term partner, Australian model Paige Butcher, on Tuesday — less than a week after the premiere of his latest movie, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
The couple were wed in a private ceremony in Anguilla, an island in the eastern Caribbean, People reported Friday. Paige wore a Mira Zwillinger-designed lace gown, while Eddie sported a matching white Brioni suit.
A representative for Eddie confirmed the report to The Los Angeles Times.
Eddie, 62, and Paige, 44, have been engaged since 2018 but first began dating in 2012 — several years after they reportedly met on the set of Big Momma’s House 2. They share an 8-year-old daughter, Izzy Oona, and a 5-year-old son, Max Charles.
The Shrek voice actor has eight other children from prior relationships, including with his ex-wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2006.
Joining Eddie at the Netflix premiere of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F earlier this month was his daughter Bria, who plays a police officer in the movie.
“She’s the one that arrests me,” Eddie told Today. “And the other scene when I get arrested in the movie, that’s my son-in-law tasing me in the neck.”
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is the fourth installment in the action comedy series and a sequel to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994). It premiered July 3 on Netflix.
