Eddie Murphy is about to welcome another grandchild, as his eldest daughter, Bria Murphy Xavier, is expecting her first baby. The 35-year-old artist and actress is pregnant with her first child alongside her husband, actor Michael Xavier, marking an exciting new chapter for the growing Murphy family.

Bria proudly debuted her baby bump while attending the red carpet premiere of her father’s latest documentary, Being Eddie, on Wednesday, November 12, in Los Angeles. The mom-to-be appeared radiant and confident as she supported her father at the high-profile event, which celebrated Eddie Murphy’s legendary career and impact on entertainment.

Dressed in a long-sleeve, form-fitting bodycon gown that highlighted her growing bump, Bria posed for photos alongside six of her nine siblings, making the premiere a true family affair. The appearance quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike, as it marked Bria’s first public outing since news of her pregnancy surfaced.

This baby will be Eddie Murphy’s third grandchild. The iconic comedian is already a grandfather to two daughters born to his son Myles Murphy, and he has often spoken about how much he cherishes his role as both a father and a grandfather.

Bria and Michael Xavier tied the knot in July 2022 during an intimate yet elegant ceremony held in Beverly Hills, California. The private afternoon wedding was attended by approximately 250 close friends and family members. Eddie Murphy had a particularly special role in the celebration, proudly walking his daughter down the aisle, while her mother, Nicole Mitchell, was also present to support the couple.

The pair’s love story became public in late 2021, when Bria shared romantic engagement photos on Instagram. In one heartfelt caption, she wrote, “My heart, my best friend, my forever. I love you, always.” In another post, she added, “I can’t wait to marry you.” Michael echoed her sentiments on his own social media, writing simply, “Forever my love.”

Eddie Murphy is a father of 10 children, whom he shares with multiple partners over the years. His large blended family includes sons Eric, Christian, Myles, and Max; daughters Bria, Shayne, Zola, Bella, Angel, and Izzy. Despite his demanding career, Eddie has consistently emphasized the importance of family and has remained closely involved in his children’s lives.

In 2020, Eddie proudly attended the opening of Bria’s Subconscious art exhibition in Los Angeles, joined by several of her siblings. At the time, he spoke openly about his admiration for her creative talent and dedication to her craft.

“I’m glad that people get to see how talented she is,” Eddie told reporters. “We’ve known for years how talented she is. It’s exciting to see her work displayed on the walls. I’m definitely having all of those proud parent feelings.”

He also praised Bria’s character, calling her a “good kid,” and added that he feels incredibly fortunate when it comes to his family. “I really got lucky with my kids,” he said. “There isn’t a bad one in the bunch. They all turned out to be genuinely good people.”

As Bria prepares to step into motherhood, it’s clear that she will be surrounded by love, support, and a strong family foundation—something Eddie Murphy has always held close to his heart.
