Actor Eddie Murphy facing divorce

Nutty Professor and Shrek star Eddie Murphy and his pretty wife, Nicole, are splitting up after 12 years of marriage. Nicole, a 37-year-old former model, filed for the divorce in Los Angeles citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple weathered many storms in the past, including the time Murphy was caught in a compromising position in his car in 1997 with drag queen Shalimar Seiuli reports Page Six.

"The welfare of our children is our main concern and their best interest is our first priority," Murphy, 44, said.

The pair have five kids. Their youngest daughter, Bella Zahra, is 3 years old. Their eldest, Bria, is 15.

The couple met in 1988 and wed in 1993 reports People Magazine.

Murphy, who began doing stand-up comedy at age 15, became the youngest comedian ever hired by Saturday Night Live at age 19. In the 1980s, he starred in series of hit films such as 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop.

Forthcoming movies include Shrek 3 and an untitled comedy with Chris Rock.
