Eddie Murphy’s children
Eric Murphy
Eddie’s first child Eric was born in 1989. He is the son of Eddie’s then-girlfriend, actress Paulette McNeely. Like his mother, Eric lived a quiet life, relatively removed from social media—until he began dating Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence in mid-2021. Now he’s “head over heels in love.” In a post on July 11, Jasmin shared two photos of the couple with the caption, “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side.” Murphy added the post to his Instagram story writing, “Thank you baby!! Love You!!” In July 2022, Jasmin caught the bouquet at Eric’s sister Bria’s wedding!
Bria Murphy
Soon after Eric was born in 1989, Eddie’s first daughter Bria came into the world. She is the daughter of Eddie and his first wife Nicole Mitchell, though the two were only dating when she was born. Like her father, Bria has worked in Hollywood, having starred in a number of projects, most recently the 2017 drama Conflict of Interest, as well as the reality series Hollywood Exes. She’s also the co-founder of art gallery ArtUS. In July 2022, Bria married actor Michael Xavier in front of 250 of their closest family and friends in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Christian Murphy
Christian was born the year after Eric and Bria, in 1990. He is the son of Eddie’s then-girlfriend Tamara Hood. Like his half-brother Eric, Christian remains relatively low-key on social media, and has not been bitten by the acting bug like his siblings.
Miles Mitchell Murphy
Miles is the second child of Eddie and Nicole Mitchell, also born in 1990. He had a daughter of his own named Evie in 2019, making Eddie a grandfather. A post shared by BCK:Celeb Kids & More (@officialbck)
Shayne Audra Murphy
Shayne is the third child of Eddie and Nicole Mitchell, born in 1994 after her parents got married. She appeared alongside her mother and sister Bria on Hollywood Exes in 2014 and is currently pursuing a career in modeling.
Zola Ivy Murphy
Zola is the fourth child of Eddie and Nicole Mitchell, born in 1999. She appeared alongside her mother and sisters Bria and Shayne on Hollywood Exes in 2014. Like Shayne, she is also pursuing modeling.
Bella Zahra Murphy
Bella is the fifth child of Eddie and Nicole Mitchell, born in 2002. She is the final sibling of the family, as her parents divorced the next year due to “irreconcilable differences.”
Angel Iris Murphy Brown
Angel was born on April 3, 2007, on her dad’s 46th birthday. Her mother is Spice Girl Melanie Brown, also known as “Mel B.” Her birth was full of drama, as Eddie questioned whether he was the father during Mel B.’s pregnancy. A couple of months after Angel was born, a DNA test confirmed he was indeed the father. Initially, Angel’s mother claimed Eddie didn’t want to seek a relationship with his daughter. But shortly thereafter, there were claims he was beginning to get to know her.
