Eddie Murphy's Divorce Announcement

Eddie Murphy's Divorce Announcement

As a depressing follow up to the Fropki story on Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds' romantic Bora Bora beachfront wedding, the newlywed couple is getting divorced.

And they won't have to go through a whole legal ordeal, as the island ceremony was merely symbolic, and was never officially documented.

The split couple told press, "After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further. 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."

Following the New Year's Day shindig on the French Polynesian island, the honeymoon seemed to be over before it started. A source told press, "Eddie started yelling at Tracey in front of people. He did it on a few occasions and it was very embarrassing."
