Eddie Murphy's girlfriend Paige Butcher delivered their first child, Izzy Oona Murphy in Los Angeles on the morning of May 3. The baby is 19.5 inches long and weighs 7 pounds, 15 ounces.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," Murphy's rep said.

Their baby follows the four-year togetherness of Actor Murphy, 55, and Australian model Butcher, 36. They first met on the sets in 2006, when she played a role in Martin Lawrence's film "Big Momma's House 2".

The couple announced their child last November. "He couldn't be happier," a source said. "Eddie really is a family man and loves all of his children, so he's so excited about having another one on the way.

"Even though he has eight children by four different women, they all come together on holidays and for sporting events and hang out at his mansion as one big blended family," the source continued. "All of the children love each other dearly and the women, having all moved on with their own relationships, co-exist very well together."

So Izzy is Murphy's ninth child and Butcher is his fifth baby mama---even though she is the first child of her own father.

This is the list of his various children:

Murphy's first child is 26-year-old son Eric who he created with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely.

Former love Tamara Hood is the mother of 25-year-old Christian.

He got five children with Nicole Mitchell, his ex-wife of 13 years.---Bria, 26, Myles, 23, Shayne, 21, Zola, 16, and Bella, 14.

A former Spice Girl Melanie "Mel B" Brown, another ex-wife, mothered his daughter Angel, who is now nine years old.

So that is the brood, in a nutshell. His latest child is now his ninth source of joy.
