It marks the second marriage for Murphy and the first for Butcher. Murphy was previously married to Nicole Mitchell Murphy, but they split in 2005 after 12 years of marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The newlyweds, who began dating in 2012, share an 8-year-old daughter, <\/span>Izzy Oona<\/a>, and a 5-year-old son, Max Charles.<\/span><\/p>\n Murphy is also father to eight other children, including five with his ex-wife — Bria, 34, Myles, 31, Shayne, 29, Zola, 24, and Bella, 22. Murphy shares sons Eric, 34, and Christian, 33, with former partners Paulette McNeely and Tamara Hood.

Now the title is actually official!<\/span><\/p>\n Another wedding may soon be in store for the Murphy family. <\/span>Murphy spoke with ET<\/a> at the premiere of <\/span>Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F<\/em><\/a> last month, and opened up about <\/span>his son, Eric, dating Martin Lawrence’s daughter, Jasmin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The lovebirds have been romantically involved for several years, and many fans have wondered about future wedding plans — and who will be on the hook for paying for the event. Murphy told ET that part shouldn’t really be an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n “Well, customarily the father pays for daughter, am I correct? That’s the way it goes down,” Murphy said, throwing the financial responsibility onto Lawrence’s shoulders. “It shouldn’t be an issue, you know? <\/span>Bad Boys<\/span><\/em> is out of the park and Martin has lots and lots of money, so he should be able to play for a splendid wedding.”<\/span><\/p>\n
