Is Eddie Murphy married to Paige Butcher?
During the last weekend of June, Eddie Murphy appeared in The New York Times‘ The interview podcast.
The discussion covered a range of topics, from Eddie Murphy’s storied career to the debut of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix.
Twice during the interview, he referenced his “wife” — referring to Paige Butcher, who the world believed was his fiancée.
Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher started dating in 2012. Six years later, in 2018, the two got engaged. As far as anyone knows, the two had not gotten married.
However, while he admitted to being “so clueless” about popular things and who young celebrities are (because he’s 63; that’s normal), he used the label as unexpected.
“I used to be so cool, I used to know who everybody was,” the comedian recalled. “And now there’s so much. (I) ask my wife, ‘Who is this person?’”

Eddie Murphy Called Paige Butcher His “Wife” Twice
He later admitted strange tv watching habits that many people would not confess under torture.
“I watch it every night at six o’clock when I have dinner, I watch Steve Harvey and Family feud. And on Tuesdays I watch The Masked Singer,“Eddie Murphy acknowledged.
“My wife and I watch all those shows with singing competitions and that kind of thing,” he continued. Again he referred to Paige as his “wife.” (After that, he began to argue The Golden Bachelor divorce)

A final note was that, in the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiered just a few weeks before the podcast episode, people noticed a flashy ring.
Notably, he also wore it to other events — in 2023 and in 2020.
Some wonder if this could be a wedding ring, and whether the two got married in 2020, during or just before the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Others suspect the ring is simply a ring and not a wedding ring.
