Eddie Murphy Marries Longtime Girlfriend Paige Butcher in Intimate Ceremony

As of November 13, 2025, comedian Eddie Murphy and his longtime girlfriend Paige Butcher have been married for over a year. The couple tied the knot in a small ceremony on the island of Anguilla on July 9, 2024, just a few weeks after the premiere of Murphy's latest Beverly Hills Cop movie.

Butcher, an Australian model, first began dating Murphy in 2012. The two have since welcomed two children together - a daughter named Izzy, born in 2016, and a son named Max, born in 2018. In addition to their own kids, Butcher is also a stepmother to Murphy's 8 other children from previous relationships.

Despite her public profile as the wife of a famous actor, Butcher prefers to keep a low-key lifestyle. She has avoided social media, explaining that she likes to maintain her privacy. Instead, Butcher focuses on staying active through outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and gardening. She has also been involved in various charitable organizations over the years, including Habitat for Humanity and Baby2Baby.

As Murphy's career continues to thrive, Butcher remains a steadfast supporter, accompanying him to movie premieres and award shows. In 2020, she gushed about her husband's romantic nature, saying he often compliments her and is "very, very sweet." Three years later, Murphy thanked Butcher and his children for their "love and support" when he received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award.
