Frazer Harrison/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Eddie Murphy and singer Toni Braxton are in a serious relationship, according to reports.
The two stars “are seeing each other and very into it,” a source tells US Weekly.
Braxton very publicly detailed her challenging love life with estranged husband Keri Lewis on WeTV’s Braxton Family Values and admitted that she had begun dating.
It appears that 50-year-old Murphy has been courting the 44-year-old singer for four months now. The Tower Heist star was even spotted backstage at Braxton’s Feb. 19 concert in Los Angeles.
Still, Braxton’s rep denies the two are romantically involved. “Toni and Eddie are just friends and have been fans of each other’s work for a long time.” However, a source claims “their kids have met and everything. It’s getting very serious.”
Previously, Murphy has been linked to former Spice Girl Melanie Brown. The two even have a 3-year-old daughter together. Murphy also has seven other children by various women, and was linked to the late Whitney Houston in the 1980s.
Last fall, Braxton dished to Anderson Cooper that she was dating a white man, telling the anchor, “I’m beginning to play in the snow a bit.” The R&B singer has two kids with her estranged husband.
