Who is Eddie Murphy’s Aussie model wife Paige Butcher? She shares 2 kids with the SNL alum, isn’t interested in acting or social media and the pair just got married in Anguilla
- Fans were left guessing when Murphy recently called Butcher his ‘wife’ in a podcast – they then married in an intimate ceremony after over a decade together, donning Mira Zwillinger and Brioni
- Murphy has 10 kids with 5 women, and Butcher has a good relationship with her step-kids – the couple recently attended the Beverly Hills Cop premiere with Bria, Shayne Audra, and Bella Murphy
Murphy and his new missus got married in Anguilla joined by close friends and family. The newlyweds looked happier than ever at the intimate occasion. Butcher wore a Mira Zwillinger dress while Murphy donned Brioni, per People.
Clearly, 2024 is turning out to be a great year for the Meet Dave star. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the fourth instalment of Murphy’s famed Beverly Hills Cop film series, came out earlier this month and is already the most-watched film on Netflix worldwide, clocking in 41 million views in its opening week.
Butcher, on the other hand, has maintained a lower profile. Here’s everything to know about the new Mrs Murphy.
Paige Butcher started modelling at seven
Butcher’s big break came when she won the 1994 Cover Girl cosmetics supermodel search and signed with IMG. This took her from Perth to New York and, 10 years later, she was on the cover of Maxim.
During this time, she was also taking on small acting roles, such as Something’s Gotta Give (2003) and Big Momma’s House 2 (2006) – where she met Murphy on set. But Butcher has not acted since, and told Vanity Fair that she was “not really” interested in it.
