Talk about a Daddy Day Care.

Eddie Murphy just took on the role of dad for the 10th time, as he and his fianceé Paige Butcher welcomed a baby boy named Max Charles Murphy on Friday, a rep for the actor confirmed.

“Both mother and son are doing well,” the rep said in a statement.

It’s the 57-year-old actor’s second child with Butcher, 32, whom he began dating in 2012. They also have a 2-yearold daughter named Izzy.

Their engagement was announced in September.

Murphy also has a 29-yearold son named Eric with Paulette McNeely, a 28-yearold son named Christian with Tamara Hood and an 11-yearold daughter, Angel, with former Spice Girl Mel B.

He and his former wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy, meanwhile, have five kids together: daughters Bria, 28; Shayne Audra, 23; Zola Ivy, 18; and Bella Zahra, 16, and son Miles Mitchell, 25.

How’s that for an ensemble cast?

Murphy’s newest bundle of joy weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces at birth and was 19 inches long.
