Comedian Eddie Murphy has revealed the newest edition to the Murphy clan will be a baby girl.
The 54-year-old stepped out with his girlfriend, Paige Butcher for a coffee run in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, where he revealed the big news to X17online.com.
“It’s a little girl,” he quipped when asked the gender of his unborn child.
This will make Eddie the proud father of nine children.
The 36-year-old Aussie meet Eddie over a decade ago on the set of Big Momma’s House 2.
While this is Paige’s first child, it will no doubt have a huge support in its eight half-siblings from Eddie’s side, with his children, aged between eight to 26, from four previous relationships.
The actor, who also has a child with former Spice Girl Mel B, is worth an estimated $85 million, but admits he doesn’t like the Hollywood lifestyle.
Eddie chatted to The Washington Post, revealing why many people think he is “reclusive”.
“You know why they think I’m reclusive?’ I don’t do the Hollywood stuff. I’ve never been on the circuit.”
He explained he’s happiest when he’s “hanging out at home with Paige and when his other kids visit, write and work on new songs in his recording studio”.
