All we know about Eddie Murphy's fiance, his ten children, and who he has dated
This year's Golden Globe Awards, their 80th marking a return to television, took a moment to honor Eddie Murphy, whose career was highlighted as he received the Cecil B. DeMille Award of 2023.
While it was him being honored, nearly stealing the spotlight was his fiancée, Paige Butcher, who looked stunning as she looked at her fiancé of four years while he spoke on stage.
The two have been together for over ten years, having first begun dating in 2012, later becoming engaged in 2018.
