Get to know Eddie Murphy's family.
The award-winning actor has played many roles throughout his lengthy career, but being a father is by far his favorite.
"I love fatherhood," Murphy previously said of his dad duties to 10 kids — which include six daughters and four sons.
"I am so blessed with my kids," he said during an appearance on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. "I don't have one bad seed. I don't have any like 'Oh you are the one.' I don't have any of that. My kids are so great, normal people — and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid."
The comedian's first child was born in 1989 with then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely and his most recent child was born in 2018 with his fiancée Paige Butcher.
From when they were born to what they're up to know, keep scrolling for all the details on the Murphy children.
Eric Murphy
Eric Murphy is Eddie's eldest child, whom he welcomed with then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely on July 10, 1989.
Throughout the years, Eric kept himself fairly out of the spotlight until he started dating Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin. Since making their relationship public in June 2021, the two haven't shied away from sharing glimpses of their love lives on social media.
On January 15, 2022, Eric marked Jasmin's birthday with a sweet Instagram post. "I am so fortunate to experience your unconditional love," he wrote in the caption, later adding, "Thank you for being the best girlfriend of all time!" On July 10, 2022, Eric posted photos of him and Jasmin celebrating his sister Bria's wedding.
Bria Murphy
Bria Murphy is Eddie's second child and first daughter, born on Nov. 18, 1989. He welcomed her with his then-wife, Nicole Mitchell, to whom he was married from 1993 until 2006.

In addition to acting, she also doubles as an artist. "I'm glad that people get to see how talented she is," Eddie said at Bria's L.A. art show in 2020. "We've known for years how talented she is. It's exciting to see her stuff up on the walls… I'm having all of those proud parent feelings."
Bria wed her actor fiancé Michael Xavier on July 9, 2022. The happy couple tied the knot in a private afternoon ceremony before 250 close friends and family.

Outside of work, Christian has kept a low profile and posts little on Instagram. When he does share on social media, it's usually pictures and videos of family and friends.
On Nov. 29, 2022, the actor celebrated his birthday by posting a carousel of photos on Instagram. He included a photo of himself in front of a mirror and a snap of him posting at his sister Bria's wedding.

In 2019, Myles became a father to Evie Isla Murphy with Carly Fink — making Eddie a grandpa for the first time.

Following her elimination on Claim to Fame, Shayne spoke with PEOPLE about her famous dad, saying he was very supportive of her decision to do the show, which has contestants guess about each other's famous relatives.
"He was just very supportive of me and everything that I decide to do. He's very trusting of my judgment,” she said. She added that the Murphy family actually watched Claim to Fame together. “He's been watching the show. We were just in Hawaii together and when we got in, my whole family watched it together. It was really cute. He's really invested,” she added.
Though Eddie has achieved many successes in his career, Shayne noted “his favorite thing is to just be around his kids.” “He's just a legend," she continued. "He's an incredible comedian, obviously, but he's just very inspiring,” Shayne says of her famous father. “The biggest thing he's shown me is that you can really accomplish whatever you want as long as you are willing to work hard enough for it. So he is a big supporter of dreams and just very inspiring and motivating in that way.”
