NFL legend Deion Sanders and his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds are one of the power couples in the NFL. However, the 56-year-old Edmonds is not the first woman in Coach Prime’s life. He had been married twice before dating the businesswoman. Similarly, the TV producer has also been with several renowned personalities. However, one of her relationships that got a lot of attention was with star comedian Eddie Murphy.
Tracey Edmonds reportedly dated the 62-year-old comedian before the two got engaged in 2007. At that time, some sources told PEOPLE that the star couple was “very much in love”. The two were reportedly “excited about spending the rest of their lives together”. Born in April 1961, the comedian married Edmonds in January 2008 on French Polynesian Island.
It’s worth noting that the duo’s marriage wasn’t technically legal in the USA. However, the two still exchanged rings and vows. The two soon shocked everyone when Tracey Edmonds filed for divorce 2 weeks after their wedding. It was reportedly the changed behavior of the $200 million rich comedian that led to the divorce.
A close friend of the CEO of Edmonds Entertainment Group eventually made some revelations about her relationship with Murphy. As per that friend, the comedian became very “bossy and physically intimidating” after marriage. Later on, Tracey Edmonds and Eddie mentioned in an official statement it wasn’t necessary to “define” their “relationship further”.
Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy undoubtedly had one of the shortest married lives. The two weren’t probably compatible with each other, and that led to their separation.
