- Christian Murphy is the 3rd child and 2 nd son of Nutty Professor actor, Eddie Murphy whom he had with Tamara Hood
- He is not an actor like his father but is in the entertainment industry as a behind-the-scenes crew member
- Christian has 9 siblings, 7 of whom are younger than him and were all born to 5 different mothers.
One of Eddie Murphy’s 10 kids, Christian Murphy, could have easily been as famous as his father. However, he chose to be reserved and away from the spotlight and this could be due to the training his father instilled in his kids.
Christian Murphy is the second son of the Coming to American actor from one of his 5 baby mothers. Just like his father, he has been in the entertainment industry and has been part of a number of movie projects like the 2011’s Cougar movie. Additionally, Eddie Murphy’s third child has also lent his skill to the animation industry.
Christian Murphy was Born from Eddie’s Relationship with Tamara Hood
Eddie Murphy had a relationship with Tamara Hood sometime in the late 80s. By 1990 their relationship birthed a child named Christian Murphy whose exact date of birth is November 29, 1990.
His mother was not famous and was not known for the better part of their relationship and even after the birth of their son. Hood was so private that even when she came into the limelight after suing a production film in 2013 for allegedly stealing her idea for Hollywood exes she was confused for R&B group, SWV’s Taj (Tamara Johnson-George).
Murphy’s son with Tamara was born after his first 2 children named Eric and Bria Murphy. Eric was born in 1989 and Bria was born in the same year too. The difference between their ages is just a couple of months as Eric was born on July 10, and his younger sister was born on November 18.
They are also just about 6 months and 2 months older than Christian and they all have different mothers.
The 33-year-old has 7 Younger Step-siblings
2 years after the birth of Christian, Eddie Murphy welcomed another child with his ex-wife, Nicole Mitchell. The name of the boy born on November 7, 1992, is Myles Murphy.
Christian became an older brother again on October 10, 1994, with the birth of Shayne Murphy. Unlike her older brothers who are quite reserved, Shayne is very active on social media and loves to post pictures of herself and her activities. She even has a food blog on Instagram.
Zola Ivy Murphy is Eddie Murphy’s 6th child and 3rd daughter born during his marriage with his ex-wife, Nichole. Born on December 24, 1999, she is the 4th of 5 children from that union. Ivy is a writer and according to her, a ‘hopeless romantic’.
Christian’s father’s 7th child named Bella was born on January 29, 2002. A year after her birth, her parents got divorced and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. She took after her father’s love for acting and has been in quite a number of movies over the years.
Eddie Murphy’s love life did not end with the divorce of his wife of over a decade, though. He moved on to other relationships afterward, like the one he had with Spice Girl’s Melanie Brown.
Mel B bore him a daughter named Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3, 2007. Up until a DNA test was performed and Angel was confirmed to be his, the actor denied the pregnancy.
So far, the second to last child of Eddie Murphy is Izzy Oona Murphy who was born on May 3, 2016. Christian’s father got into a relationship with Paige Butcher whom he later went on to get engaged to.
The last of the Murphy kids, as of February 2023 is Max Charles Murphy. He was born on November 30, 2018, and his mother is Paige.
Max is Christian’s last sibling, the last child, and the last boy of the Eddie Murphy clan. He was named after Eddie’s brother who died a year before his birth.
