The 57-year-old welcomed his first child into the world – son Eric – in 1989.

His mother, a lady called Paulette McNeely, has never been photographed and little is known about her, although she was linked to Murphy in the late 80s at the height of his fame.

His second child – son Christian – came along in 1990, from his relationship with then girlfriend Tamara Hood Johnson.

The actors next five children came from his marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy, whom he met at an awards show in 1988.

The pair married in 1993 and are parents to Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola and Bella.

Eddie and Nicole divorced in 2006, after which he began dating Spice Girl Mel B – who fell pregnant and later stated that Murphy was the father of her child, a daughter she named Angel.

However Eddie said at the time: I dont know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldnt jump to conclusions.

He was later confirmed as Angels father following a DNA test, with Mels reps confirming the news on June 22 2008, two months after she was born.
