Nicole Mitchell Murphy & Eddie Murphy

Nicole Mitchell was still beginning her career as a model when she started dating Eddie Murphy. They first crossed paths at an NAACP Image Awards Show back in 1988. They lived together for two years before they tied the knot. Together they had five children; Bria, Miles, Shayne Audra, Zola Ivy, and Bella Zahra. Bria has already appeared in films and appears in the movie Coming to America 2 alongside her dad.

After 11 years of marriage, the couple finally called it quits stating irreconcilable differences as the primary reason for their separation. Nicole Mitchell did not let this stop her from earning income as she has launched numerous business investments such as Nicole Murphy Fitness. Her goal was to provide fitness tips, clean eating, and workouts. She also has a jewelry line to add to her income. Now that’s one savvy entrepreneur.
