A Guide to Eddie Murphy’s 10 Kids

Wife Paige Butcher & Kids Izzy & Max

Four years after making their romance red carpet official, Eddie and Paige welcomed their daughter Izzy in May 2016.

“I love kids, and my kids are the joy of my life,” the Saturday Night Live alum said on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show later that year. “I love having nine kids.”

However, Eddie was open to growing their family. “I would have 10,” he continued, “if Paige is up for it.”

Turns out, she was. In November 2018, Eddie and Paige welcomed son Max. And yes, their little ones have been introduced to dad’s movies.

“All they’ve seen is Shrek and Mulan—and little pieces of Coming to America,” Eddie told E! News in 2024, later adding, “Doctor Doolittle they’ve seen, and Daddy Day Care is next.”

But don’t expect Eddie or Paige, who wed in July 2024, to post photos of their kids on Instagram—mainly because they don’t have accounts.

“I had Facebook for about a year, then I moved on to Instagram, got rid of both,” the Australian model told Vanity Fair in 2013, “went to Twitter, then eventually got rid of all of them.”

The reason?

“I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there,” she continued. “I felt like I was giving out too much information. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now. As you say, people will use anything against you. The more you put out, the more you get back. I just wasn’t using it. And I was really boring. I would just post my volunteer work.”
