Eddie Murphy Rings in 2008

LOS ANGELES—Looks like Eddie Murphy’s made quick work of one New Year’s resolution. The Shrek star swapped vows with fiancée Tracey Edmonds Tuesday on the Pacific Island of Bora Bora, People magazine reports.
The couple sealed the deal during a small, sunset ceremony on the beach. A barefoot Edmonds, sheathed in a custom number by the tandem of Sugia Nazel and Jill Baracci, marched the aisle to the strains of Gladys Knight’s “Makings of You,” per People.
The wedding party reportedly included R&B singer Johnny Gill, who served as Murphy’s best man. There was no immediate confirmation from Murphy’s rep, Arnold Robinson, who has repeatedly declined to comment on the actor’s personal life.
It was Edmonds’ assistant who announced the couple’s engagement in July. This is the second marriage for both. The 40-year-old Edmonds was previously hitched to Grammy-winning singer-producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. They divorced in June 2006 after being together for 13 years and having two children.
Murphy, 46, was previously married to Nicole Mitchell, with whom he has five children. They divorced in April 2006. In the months that followed, Murphy began dating Spice Girl Melanie Brown. He began dating Edmonds last fall, while Brown was pregnant with his child.

Brown gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown. In a bit of karmic coincidence, the infant was born Apr. 3, sharing a birthday with her reluctant father.
