*Eddie Murphy is making the media rounds to promote his new Netflix film “Dolemite Is My Name,” and during his appearance on Live! with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, the comic legend dished about his 10 children.
“Yes, I have 10,” he told the hosts last week. “The Murphy family has a great sense of humor,” he said. “Everybody’s funny.”
The 58-year-old recently welcomed his first grandchild after his son Miles and girlfriend Carly welcomed daughter Evie this past summer.
As noted by MadameNoire, her birth came not too long after Eddie welcomed his 10th child with fiancée Paige Butcher, a baby boy they named Max Charles Murphy. The child’s middle name is in honor of Eddie’s late brother, actor/comedian Charlie Murphy.

“I have my first grandchild. So I think she’s five months — a five-month-old grandchild and a 10-month-old son [laughs],” he said. “Guess that makes me a heck of a fella [laughs]. My son is my granddaughter’s uncle.”
As for what he wants to be called by his granddaughter… “Pa-Pa. Granddad just didn’t sound or feel right,” Murphy said. “Pa-Pa is nice.”
Murphy’s blended family includes children with current bae Paige, ex-wife Nicole Murphy and his previous relationships with Tamara Hood, Paulette McNeely and Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown.
“I do love my family and kids and love being around them, and I’m always there,” he said in 2016. “And there is no people not getting along and tripping. There’s none of that.”
