Who is Paige Butcher?
Paige Butcher is a former model and actress. She was born Jacinta “Paige” Butcher in 1979 in Perth, Australia. Her father, Robert Butcher, was a model, and her mother was a fashion designer, so an artistic career seemed destined for the up and coming starlet.
She grew up in Perth and graduated from Santa Maria Catholic College. Her appearance in Something’s Gotta Give in 2003 put her on the map, and she also appeared in Maxim the Real Swimsuit DVD Vol 2. She’s also appeared in such popular movies such as Something’s Gotta Give as well as Big Momma’s House 2.
Prior to dating Murphy, she was in a relationship with American model and actor Tyson Beckford and also dated music mogul Russell Simmons in 2010.
Paige Butcher and Eddie Murphy first got together in 2012 after they met on the set of Big Momma’s House 2. The pair announced their engagement in 2018 but have yet to tie the knot. The couple had their first child together in 2016, Izzy Oona Murphy, quickly followed by a son, Max Charles Murphy, born two years later in 2018. The couple has been together over a decade with no end in sight.
How many children does Eddie Murphy have?
Eddie Murphy has quite the relationship resume, having dated superstars from Whitney Houston to Spice Girls’ Melanie Brown. He has ten children in total, two of which he had with his current paramour Paige Butcher. He also dated and had children with Paulette McNeely, his ex wife Nicole Mitchell, Tamara Hood, and Spice Girl Melanie Brown aka Mel B. He has six boys and four girls with ages ranging from 34 to five.
Of all the roles, Murphy claims fatherhood is one of his favorites. He reported on Marc Maron’s WT podcast, “I don’t have one bad seed. I don’t have any like ‘Oh you are the one.’ I don’t have any of that. My kids are so great, normal people — and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid.”
Eddie Murphy’s love life may be as extensive as his lineage, but it seems like he might have found his match in Paige Butcher. The model and actress continues to turn heads and hearts as she and Murphy’s relationship rounds the decade mark.
