Eddie Murphy is a renowned American actor. He is recognised as one of the most influential Black artists in Hollywood. He rose to fame with the sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. Over the years, Eddie won numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, an Emmy Award and a Grammy Award. Recently, he won the 51st American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

However, it was Eddie’s emotional speech during the 51st AFI Lifetime Achievement Award that stole the spotlight. He gave a special shoutout to his wife, Paige Butcher and his 10 children. For the unversed, Eddie shares two children with Paige and eight others with other partners. He called Paige his beautiful wife during the acceptance speech. Now, if you are interested in knowing Eddie’s wife, Paige Butcher, we’ve got you covered.

Who is Eddie Murphy's wife, Paige Butcher?

Eddie Murphy’s wife, Paige Butcher, was born in Perth, Australia. According to a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Paige’s mom was a fashion designer, and she wore her clothing as a child. She is a model and actress. While she worked as a model, Paige attended Santa Maria College, a Catholic girls' school in Attadale, Australia. After graduating, Paige won the 1994 Cover Girl Cosmetics Supermodel Search and earned a modelling contract with IMG.

The modelling contract opportunity secured Paige a trip to New York City, where she worked with many magazines and brands. She appeared in the films, including Something’s Gotta Give and Big Momma’s House 2. But do you know that although Paige is married to a popular actor, Eddie, she loves to keep her personal life private. She also dislikes social media. In a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Paige got candid about why she kept herself away from social media. She was quoted as saying:

"I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there. I like to keep as much private as possible now. People will use anything against you. The more you put out, the more you get back. I just wasn’t using it. And I was really boring. I would just post my volunteer work."

Both Paige and Eddie have been extremely private about their personal life. Like Paige, Eddie also hates social media.

Sharing a rare glimpse into their relationship, Paige said:

"He actually says that kind of stuff all the time. He's very, very sweet and romantic."
