Iconic comedian Eddie Murphy has sent the rumor mill spinning after referring to his longtime love, Paige Butcher, as his ‘wife’. In a recent episode of The New York Times’ The Interview podcast, Eddie shared a glimpse into his relationship with Paige, revealing the couple’s shared love for watching TV shows like Steve Harvey and Family Feud together.
