After all this hoopla of New Year’s Day wedding, they’re going to remain friends.



Eddie Murphy's Two-Week Marriage Kaput

If the honeymoon wasn't already over, it sure is now. Just like the marriage.
Two weeks after Eddie Murphy exchanged vows with Tracey Edmonds in a private—and, as it happens, not legally binding—ceremony in Bora Bora, the couple has separated.
They made their announcement in a joint statement Wednesday, 15 days after their seaside Jan. 1 nuptials.
“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further," the former flames said.
"While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.”
Shortly after the New Year's celebration on the French Polynesian island, reps for the couple acknowledged that the ceremony, having taken place outside the country, was not legally binding, but that the couple would be making it official upon their return to the States.
"As is typical when couples get married in foreign countries, a legal ceremony will take place when they return to the U.S.," Murphy's publicist said at the time. "The wedding that took place in Bora Bora was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually in the presence of family and friends."
The lack of a legally recognized union spares the ex-duo from the formalities of a lengthy divorce or annulment.
The breakup followed a less than fairy-tale start, with the first days of the newlyweds' honeymoon marred by screaming matches and arguments that lasted the entire week, according to People, which first reported the split.
The 46-year-old actor and 40-year-old producer had been dating since fall 2006 (following the demise of Murphy's separation from then pregnant Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, who gave birth to Murphy's daughter last April) and became engaged last July.
The ex-couple's previous unions both endured a tad longer than two weeks.
Edmonds, whose movie-producing credits include Who's Your Caddy? and Good Luck Chuck, was previously married to music mogul Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The couple, whose divorce was finalized last June, was together for 13 years and has two children together.
Murphy's first marriage, to Nicole Mitchell, ended in April 2006 after 13 years and five children.

Harlepolis said:

It seemed so soon for both them and Eddie with all his personal drama. Guess it doesn't matter when it's just a deal. Oh well... I wonder if she and Babyface had the same arrangement...

phunkdaddy said:

The rumor is Eddie Murphy is bisexual due to his past connections with trannies.

Dance said:

beret1022 said:

He wasn't fooled. He's a tranny lover who cruised tranny central looking for tranny boogina.
