Eddie Murphy is engaged to girlfriend
Published Tuesday, Jul 31 2007, 10:36 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Hollywood star Eddie Murphy has popped the question to movie producer Tracey Edmonds.
The actor proposed to Edmonds, his girlfriend of ten months, last week and was thrilled when she accepted.
The news comes just days after Murphy denied suggestions that they were engaged, when Tracey was spotted with a diamond on her ring finger at an LA movie premiere. At that point, Murphy said: "No, this isn't an engagement ring. If I were gonna do an engagement ring, it would be much bigger." He asked Edmonds to marry him just two days later.
"Tracey and Eddie were engaged last Wednesday," Edmonds' assistant told E! News. "Tracey and Eddie are both very much in love and are excited about spending the rest of their lives together."
Representatives for Murphy, who is the father of Melanie Brown's baby Angel Iris Murphy Brown, have refused to comment on the story.
