But she ain’t messing with no broke, broke, broke…

Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife (and the mother of five of his kids), NICOLE MURPHY is engaged to her longtime beau, former NFL baller MICHAEL STRAHAN.

The current sportscaster/actor (he’s got a mid-season sitcom debuting on FOX this fall) spoke to People about his Bohemian proposal – complete with a white and canary yellow diamond ring.

“I have a great relationship and she’s a great girl, I don’t like to talk much about my private life, but I’m really happy.”

With Strahan’s fours children (from his previous marriage), there are nine kids between them…No date is set for the wedding.

Why does Nicole Murphy remind me of Suge Avery?
