Today, we will talk about the family of American actor Eddie Murphy. Specifically, about one of his sons, Miles Mitchell Murphy. Sometimes, his name is spelled Myles Mitchell Murphy. In any case, he is the son of the legendary African-American comedian and actor.
The legendary actor has many children, but it was Miles Murphy that made him a grandfather. In 2019, Miles and his girlfriend welcomed their firstborn child, making Eddie a grandfather.
Despite Myles Murphy having a family and being a grown man, his mother still sees him and other siblings as her babies. Let’s find out more about him.

Who Is His Celebrity Father?
First, we have to talk about the legendary actor and comedian. Born Edward Regan Murphy in April 1961, Eddie is an actor, comedian, and singer. He rose to fame on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, where he was a regular cast member from 1980 to 1984. He also worked as a stand-up comedian, and Comedy Central has him ranked No. 10 on the list of greatest stand-ups of all time.
During his career, Murphy has won a Grammy Award and Emmy Award. Some of his most successful movies include 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, Dolemite is My Name, Dr. Dolittle, and more.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was raised in the borough’s Bushwick neighborhood. His mother Lillian Murphy was a telephone operator, while his father, Charles Edward Murphy, was a transit police officer and an amateur actor. Sadly, his father was murdered in 1969.
In one interview, Eddie said, “My mother and father broke up when I was three and he died when I was eight, so I have very dim memories … He was a victim of the Murphy charm (laughs). A woman stabbed my father. I never got all the logistics. It was supposed to be one of those crimes of passion: ‘If I can’t have you, no one else will kind of deal’”.
His single mother became ill, and eight-year-old Eddie and his older brother Charlie Murphy went on to live in foster care for one year. Years later, he would go on to say that his life in foster developed his sense of humor.
He was 15 years old when he decided to become a comedian. That happened after listening to Richard Pryor’s comedy album That Nigger’s Crazy. On July 9, 1976, Eddie performed in a talent show at the Roosevelt Youth Center. He impersonated Al Green and his song Let’s Stay Together. That led to him getting work in other clubs.
In 1980, he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. Many credit him for revitalizing the show, including his grown-up version of the Little Rascals character Buckwheat.
His early comedy was characterized by copious profanity and sketches lampooning a diverse group of people. In the 1980s, he released two stand-up specials.
In 1982, he made his big-screen debut in the movie 48 Hrs with Nick Nolte, giving him instant fame and attention. Released during the Christmas season, the movie was an instant hit. The following year, he appeared in the movie Trading Places and continued to amaze fans with movies like Coming to America and Beverly Hills Cop.
Over the course of his career, he has also appeared in the Shrek series, Mulan, Dr. Dolittle, The Nutty Professor, Daddy Day Care, The Haunted Mansion, I Spy, and many more.
Fun fact: Besides being one of the most successful actors, he is also a singer. American actor Eddie Murphy has released three albums to date, How Could It Be, So Happy, and Love’s Alright.

God will continue to bless you & our whole family with health, happiness, success & blessings. I love you my FIANCE & I can’t wait to marry you. Happy Birthday Baby!”
