Women think my having 10 children is sexy – Eddie Murphy
Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy may have 10 kids (and a grandchild), but he’d like everyone to know there’s nothing nutty about it.
The funnyman appeared on Ellen on Dec. 5 and opened up about how men and women react differently to hearing about how many children he has.
“Does it seem like a lot to you, or does that seem OK?” DeGeneres asked.
“No, that seems OK,” the 58-year-old actor responded.
“Men kind of look at me like, ‘He’s crazy! How much did that (expletive) cost?’” he said.
“And women, it’s kind of like there’s something sexy about it, I think. ‘Eddie Murphy must be doing his thing,’” he added.
Murphy and fiancée Paige Butcher welcomed his 10th child — a baby boy named Max — last December. The couple also share a 3-year-old daughter, Izzy. The “Dolemite Is My Name” actor shares children Bria, 30, Miles, 27, Shayne, 25, Zola, 19, and Bella, 17, with ex-wife Nicole Murphy.
The star shares eldest son Eric, 30, with Paulette McNeely and son Christian, 29, with Tamera Hood. Spice Girl Mel B is the mother of Eddie’s 12-year-old daughter, Angel.
Last year, daughter Bria posted a Christmas photo of the whole gang — including Murphy and Butcher’s mothers — on Instagram.
Murphy told USA Today in November that one of the things he liked most about his family was how much comedy material they provided.
“The last time I did standup, I had no kids, I had never been married and I was 27 years old,” Murphy said.
“I’m 58. I have 10 kids. I’ve been married and divorced. So I have so much stuff to talk about.”
