The minute we heard that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds‘ Bora Bora wedding was a “spiritual ceremony” and not really legal, we figured something would go wrong before they had a civil ceremony. And it did – they’ve called off the marriage. The National Enquirer gleefully claims that Eddie and Tracey’s families did NOT get along. Especially their mothers. Eddie’s mother was convinced Tracey was a gold-digger for some reason and Tracey’s mom felt Eddie wasn’t good enough for her daughter. The families reportedly got rather antagonistic on the island. We still think Tracey had second thoughts when Eddie explained that his “best man” Johnny Gill would be living with them.

Now that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are “unofficially” married (the legal ceremony in the US is yet to come) we wonder if Tracey knows what she’s getting into. When Eddie was married to his wife Nicole, he was LORD AND MASTER around the house. According to an employee who worked in his house, persnickety Eddie has strict rules. He expected his beautiful wife Nicole to appear at the breakfast table every day with her makeup and hair DONE, and looking very together. But she was for his eyes only. He instructed every guy who worked at the house – gardeners, repairmen, pool men etc, NOT to look directly at her! Anyone caught staring at Nicole was instantly fired. We’re guessing he’ll have to lighten up on the rules with Tracey. But how does he explain Johnny Gill living in a wing of the house?
