Eddie Murphy and ex-wife Nicole Murphy are about to reach grandparent status for the first time and they’re ecstatic — especially Nicole.

The 51-year-old beauty posted a photo of her son Miles, 26, with his longtime girlfriend Carly at their baby shower. The couple, who have been together for a decade according to the mom-to-be, are expecting a baby girl they plan to name Evie Isla Murphy.

“I’m so excited about becoming a G-Ma,” she wrote. “My son & his beautiful lady are expecting a beautiful little girl.”

The couple announced they were expecting in January:

Miles is Nicole and Eddie’s second child and first son together. Altogether, the former couple have five children: Bria, Shayne, Zola and Bella, in addition to Miles. They were married in 1993 before divorcing in 2006.

Eddie has since dated a few people (including Mel B and being briefly engaged to Tracey Edmonds), but his longest relationship since his marriage has been to current partner Paige Butcher. The pair, who have dated since 2012, have welcomed two children, Izzy and Max. He has three other children from previous relationships, including sons Eric, Christian, and daughter Angel with Mel B. If you were keeping count, that’s 10 kids.

As for Nicole, she was previously engaged to Michael Strahan, and they were together from 2009 to 2014. Nowadays, she is single and turning heads all over Instagram as fitness inspiration. With her first grandchild on the way, she’s set to be the fiercest “G-Ma” out. Hit the flip to see why.
