Actor Eddie Murphy and music mogul Tracey Edmonds split up last week, 14 days after holding a nonbinding wedding ceremony on a tropical island. The couple had been planning to make the union legal in the United States, but Murphy balked when Edmonds refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, said the New York Post. “While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship, and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends,” said Murphy.
