A rep for Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds has responded to reports from Australian news sites that claim the couple's New Year's Day wedding on a private island off Bora Bora was invalid.
People.com was the first to report that the couple exchanged vows in French Polynesia, but news.com.au cites a general law specialist who says the two were ineligible to be married locally because they had not lived in the region for at least 30 days, as French law requires.
"You need to have residence for at least 30 days - one month in the island of Bora Bora for instance - and this has not been the case," general law specialist Malgras Benoit was quoted as saying. "If you want to get married in Paris you have to live in Paris for at least one month."
However, a rep for the couple told People.com Thursday that any legal issues surrounding the wedding will be properly addressed soon with another wedding ceremony to take place on U.S. soil.
"As is typical when couples get married in foreign countries, a legal ceremony will take place when they return to the U.S.," says Edmonds's rep.
"The wedding that took place in Bora Bora was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually in the presence of family and friends. The couple plan a legal ceremony as soon as they return to the States."
In any case...
Whether the marriage is valid or not, Murphy's ex-wife Nicole has apparently moved on with New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, as both the New York Post and Daily News reports of the two partying hard at The Plumm on New Year's Eve.
