American award-winning actor and producer Eddie Murphy has always been known for his talent to put smiles and laughter on people's faces. His comedic character and ability to bring to life any role he plays is highly commendable.

Eddie began his journey to becoming a successful comedian at age 15, and when he was 19, he became the youngest stand-up comedian ever to be hired by "Saturday Night Live."

The icon also went into acting in the 1980s, and after a few years, he became one of the best actors in the business. Apart from being a renowned Hollywood icon, Eddie also enjoys paying close attention to other aspects of his life, including family.

His large number of kids is often a topic of discussion. However, the actor also appears to be enjoying the title "grandfather." Eddie loves being a grandparent as much as his ex-wife, Nicole Mitchell Murphy. The pair are doting grandparents to a two-year-old girl, Evie.

WHO ARE EDDIE MURPHY'S KIDS?

Besides having an extensive career in Hollywood, Eddie is blessed with ten children. He welcomed his first child, Eric Murphy, with his then-girlfriend, Paulette McNeely, on July 10, 1989.

Four months after the arrival of his first child, Eddie welcomed his second child and daughter, Bria Murphy, with his former spouse, Nicole, on November 18, 1989. Not long after Bria was born, Eddie's relationship with Nicole came to a halt.

The father of ten and Hood's relationship was short-lived, and the pair went their separate ways. Eddie eventually got back with Nicole, and the couple welcomed their second child together, Miles Mitchell Murphy, on November 7, 1992.

Eddie and Nicole's love for each other got more profound, and they took their relationship to the next step. In 1993, they finally walked down the aisle, and on October 10, 1994, their third child, Shayne Audra Murphy, was born.

The comedian and his ex-wife's fourth child, Zola Ivy Murphy, arrived on Christmas Eve in 1999. Then on January 29, 2002, Eddie's seventh child, and the couple's fifth child, Bella Zhara Murphy, made her debut into the world.

Four years after welcoming Bella, Eddie and Nicole called it quits on their marriage. However, the award-winning actor did not call it quits on having more children. On April 3, 2007, he celebrated the arrival of his eighth child, Angel Iris Murphy, with his famous baby mama, Mel B.

While many thought the icon would stop having kids, Eddie shocked the world by welcoming his ninth child, Izzy Oona Murphy, with his girlfriend, Paige Butcher, on May 3, 2016.

On November 30, 2018, a few months before Evie was born, the producer became a father for the tenth time after welcoming the youngest of the Murphy clan, Max Charles Murphy.

Eddie and Butcher named their son Charles as a tribute to the comedian's older brother, Charlie Murphy, who died of leukemia in 2018.

WHAT DOES FATHERHOOD MEAN TO EDDIE?

Despite sharing his ten kids with five women, Eddie still believes fatherhood is essential and strives to be the best dad to his kids. He was once a guest on the "Live with Kelly and Ryan" show, where he talked about his children and Evie.

Eddie revealed his children had inherited his funny side. According to him, the Murphy family has a good sense of humor. Speaking about his grandchild, he also made it known that he wanted Evie to call him "Papa" rather than "granddad."
