Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds might have broken a record (for Black Hollywood at least, who can forget Britney Spears being married to Jason Allan Alexander for 48 hours) with a marriage that lasted only two weeks.
Murphy and the ex-wife of singer Babyface exchanged vows on a private island off Bora Bora on Jan. 1.
The couple needed a ceremony on U.S. soil to make the marriage legal, but amidst alleged bickering and arguing decided to call it quits.
“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forgo having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further,” the couple announced on People magazine’s website in a joint statement.
“While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends,” it added.
Whatever. We’re not sure if the break-up is weirder than the relationship itself.
