Edmonds was previously married to singer/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds from 1992 to 2005. They share two children, Brandon and Dylan. She was also briefly married to Eddie Murphy in 2008 before calling it quits two weeks after their wedding.
“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further,” Murphy and Edmonds said in a statement at the time. “While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.
Sanders has been married twice before: to Carolyn Chambers (1989–1998), with whom he has two children, and Pilar Biggers-Sanders (1999–2013), with whom he shares three children.
