Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle is spilling tea about how she once dated actor Eddie Murphy, and how he “caught” her cheating on him, Media Take Out has learned.
During a segment for TV One, the Bravo reality star revealed that a lot of women were interested in the award-winning actor/comedian back in the day, but she was one of the lucky ones.
Garcelle explained, “Every woman on that set was trying to date Eddie Murphy, he was the commodity. And uh, we dated. We dated I think for a year off and on. And how do I say this, we had a really great connection. We really did. I loved, you know, obviously him, his mom, his family. We were dating, so.”
She added, “I once double booked though. I once had a date with Eddie and then I forgot I had a date with somebody else. This was in the early beginning when we first started dating. And so, they showed up at the same time and I didn’t know what to do. One was downstairs ringing my bell and one was in my house.”
Gabrielle and Eddie filmed of Coming To America together, which was released in 1988.
It’s unclear whether Eddie was with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy, whom he married in 1993, at the time. Eddie and Nicole became parents to five of his children before divorcing in 2006. Eddie Murphy now has 10 children with five different women, including a 15-year-old daughter with Mel B who he now has to pay $35,000 a month in child support for.
