Updated! Eddie Murphy, the real king of comedy: His relationships and little village

The Coming to America (1988) African-American star has secured an unarguable place as one of the greatest stand-up comedians in history. The famous humorist was not always a stage lover even though he had a humorist as a father. Murphy was born into the home of Lillian and amateur actor Charles Edward Murphy. He however never showed signs of being funny until his sense of humor started developing while in a foster home.

Date of Birth: April 3, 1961

Zodiac Sign: Aries

Charles Edward Murphy died when the young Edward was eight leaving him to be raised by a single, already divorced mother. Lillian subsequently became seriously ill and her two kids, Eddie and his older brother Charlie had to move to a foster home to be cared for until she was well. Fast forward to many years later, this little Eddie is now a name the entertainment industry is highly proud of. For a man with such a huge public attention, he has had his own fair share of women and even fatherhood. Read on to see his love stories and his nine kids.
