Nutty Professor star is expecting his 9th child with Paige Butcher in May
EDDIE Murphy's newest family member is due in May, with the gender of the baby now revealed.
It was reported last November the 55 year old comedian and girlfriend Paige Butcher were expecting to start a family of their own.
And now it can be revealed Australian actress Paige is to give birth to a baby girl, according to the Daily Mail.
The tot will be the Shrek star’s sixth daughter and ninth child.
Paige's baby with Eddie — who she met on the set of Big Momma’s House 2 — is her first pregnancy.
Aged between 8 and 26, Eddie’s previous 8 children come from 4 relationships.
He had 5 children with ex-wife of 12 years, Nicole Mitchell.
Eddie also has a child with former Scary Spice Mel B, a child with Tamara Hood Johnson, and a child with Paulette McNeely.
"Eddie really is a family man and loves all of his children, so he's so excited about having another one on the way,” a source told the Daily Mail.
"Even though he has eight children by four different women, they all come together on holidays and for sporting events and hang out at his mansion as one big blended family.
"All of the children love each other dearly and the women, having all moved on with their own relationships, co-exist very well together."
A very big congratulations to Eddie and Paige!
