Ever since Eddie Murphy skyrocketed to fame on Saturday Night Live in 1980, he's also had a number or gorgeous celebrities by his side. One of his earliest romances was with none other than Whitney Houston, and the two apparently dated quietly during the mid-'80s, per People. According to the same publication, in 1988, Murphy would go on to meet his future wife, Nicole Mitchell (who he is pictured with above in 2003), but it would still be a few years before the two would marry.
In the meantime, Murphy would go on to date Paulette McNeely, and together, the couple would welcome the first of Murphy's children, a son named Eric in 1989. That same year, Murphy would also welcome a child with Mitchell, a daughter named Bria. The following year, Murphy got together with Tamara Hood, and their son Christian was born that same year.
By 1993, it seems that the comedian was ready to settle down. He and Mitchell married, and between then and 2002, the couple would have four more children together: Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella Murphy. After more than 10 years of marriage, however, Murphy and Mitchell ultimately went their separate ways, announcing their divorce in a statement via People.
