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.
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds quietly split up almost three weeks ago. It happened before DNA proved that Melanie Brown‘s baby was Eddie’s. Their biggest problem, besides the fact that Eddie is very controlling, was that they have separate social lives. Eddie likes to socialize with HIS friends and Tracey wanted to socialize with HERS. In order to keep both sets of friends happy, they started going out separately sometimes. But when Eddie goes out, everybody notices and Tracey would hear or read things that made her wonder. And Eddie didn’t trust Tracey out by herself. Suspicions arose and arguments ensued. Tracey’s feared Eddie wanted to run her life. (He can’t be the EASIEST guy to date!) She ‘d been staying at his house, so Tracey packed up her things and moved. For now, it’s over.
Eddie Murphy, shown here with his girlfriend Tracy Edmonds and Jesse Jackson, had an awkward moment last night at the Black Enterprise Top 50 Hollywood Power Brokers event at the Beverly Regent Hotel. It’s the first time Eddie and Tracy have been in the same room with her exhusband Babyface, who USED to be a close friend of Eddie’s! They’re not friendly since Eddie and Tracy hooked up. Other attendees watched with interest as the former buddies reportedly stayed in different corners of the large ballroom at the event, but were very conscious of each other all night.
