Eddie Murphy’s a dad for 10th time
THIS tame jackdaw really is what you would call a feathered friend.
Mark Foden, 57, saved the bird, which he named Jack, after finding it with a broken wing in his garden.
After two months, Jack was able to fly and was set free, but he returns every day to Mark’s house in
Shaugh Prior, Devon.
Mark said: “He’s got a rapport with me.” HOLLYWOOD comic actor Eddie Murphy is about to hit double figures as a dad.
The Beverly Hills Cop star and long-term girlfriend Paige Butcher, 39, are expecting their second in December. The brother or sister to Izzy, two, will be Eddie’s 10th child.
The Shrek actor 57, and model Paige have been dating since 2012.
Eddie has had eight more children with four other women, including 11-year-old daughter Angel with former Spice Girl Mel B, 43.
Five kids – Bria, 28, Miles, 25, Shayne, 23, Zola, 18, and Bella, 16 – were with ex-wife Nicole Murphy, whom he split from in 2006. The mother of his eldest, Eric, 29, was Paulette Mcneely and Christian, 27, was with Tamara Hood.
Eddie has previously said: “I really got lucky with my kids.
“There really isn’t a bad one in the bunch, everyone turned out to be really good people.
“You know what is funny? None of my kids are like me, and I’m sure parents say this all of the time, they are all totally different from each other. None of them are chips off the old block.”
Other prolific celeb dads include actor Clint Eastwood, 88, who has seven acknowledged children, and Rolling Stone rocker Sir Mick Jagger, 75, with eight.
