Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds - Yes It’s Over! Shock! Surprise! I mean, I barely got the words out on the blog before I ran into this bit of news. I guess Johnny is still living in the guest house after all! This is another case for The Plural Thing.
Just two weeks after their wedding, Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have split, Access Hollywood has learned.
Though their ceremony happened two weeks ago, the couple’s marriage only lasted three days, a source told Access.
Their relationship ended on January 4, 2008, in Bora Bora.
Days earlier the couple were married in a spiritual ceremony on the island. They planned on having a legally binding ceremony upon returning to the U.S. However, since that ceremony never took place, the couple was never officially married to begin with.
Edmonds and Murphy left the island separately, the source told Access. The source added that the split had nothing to do with prenup issues.
Both parties are currently in Los Angeles.
Murphy and Edmonds released the following statement to Access on Wednesday:
“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. 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.”
The two began dating fall 2006 and were engaged in July.
Murphy, 46, has five children from his previous marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy, who filed for divorce in 2005. He also has a daughter with Spice Girl and “Dancing With the Stars” alum Mel B.
Edmonds, a 40-year-old movie producer, has two sons from her 12-year marriage to R&B singer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. As head of Edmonds Entertainment, she has produced the film and television series “Soul Food.”
Murphy’s film credits include “Dreamgirls,” “The Nutty Professor,” “Shrek” and “The Beverly Hills Cop” franchise.

The reasons for them seperating haven’t been fully disclosed just rumored that it was because her kids didn’t like him, she called his mom the b word and of course J Gill was somewhwere in the mix. I guess we the general public will never know. I see a good cover story coming out of this though. I wonder which magazine will get the exclusive.
