Eddie Murphy facing divorce

Eddie Murphy's wife Nicole has filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences". Model Nicole, who married the Nutty Professor star in 1993, is seeking joint custody of their five children. "The welfare of our children is our main concern, and their best interests are our first priority," said the actor in a statement on Friday. Murphy has a son from a previous relationship. His youngest child, Bella Zahra, was born in January 2002. [photo: Steve Granitz - Wireimage.com - taken 3/11/2002]
