Eddie Murphy was known for his series of romantic relationships early in his career, and he has 10 children with five different women. Myles was born on November 7, 1992, to Murphy and his then-wife, model Nicole Mitchell Murphy.

Apart from their second-born Myles, Eddie and Nicole share four more children: Bria, Shayne, Zola and Bella. Eddie also has three children – Eric, Christian and Angel – with former girlfriends. He shares two other children, Izzy and Max, with his current wife, Australian model and actress Paige Butcher.

Eddie’s children range in age from seven to 37. “I never knew I would have 10 kids, but now it’s the best thing ever. If you can afford that many kids, you should have as many kids as you can afford. That is fun,” Eddie told People last year. “My children are all decent people. I don’t have one rotten one, and I would like to think that they got some of that from me,” he continued.
