They met on the set of Big Momma's House 2.
And
pregnant Paige Butcher looked like she can hardly wait to be a mother
herself as she showed off her blossoming baby bump as she went on a
coffee run with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
They
looked in bliss as they serenely sauntered down the sidewalk with the
drinks in hand as they enjoyed the warm weather in the well-heeled area
of Los Angeles County.

The
36-year-old Australian beauty looked in fine form indeed in a maternity
dress, denim jacket and sandals as she walked hand-in-hand with her
knight in shining armour, who treated her to what appeared to be an iced
chocolate coffee drink.
Prolific
parent Eddie, 55, meanwhile looked sprightly for his age in a sleeveless
top, trousers and leather shoes, and he added a final dash of flair to
his look by wearing a bandana over his hair.
This
will be Paige's first child and Eddie's ninth as he already has eight
children, aged eight years old to 26, from four previous relationships.

The
48 Hours star has five children with his former wife of 12 years,

The
couple have been dating four years, but have known each other longer
after meeting on the set of Big Momma's House 2 in 2006.
Meanwhile, Eddie, who is worth an estimated $85 million, has some other projects on the horizon.

He's expected to reprise his role as Axel Foley for director Brett Ratner in Beverly Hills Cop 4.
Eddie also has the drama Mr. Church coming to Tribeca Film Festival on April 22.
What
he likes to do most of the time is hang out at home at Paige and his
other kids when they visit, and work on new songs in his recording
studio. It's given him the reputation as a kind of recluse.
'You
know why they think I’m reclusive?' I don’t do the Hollywood stuff.
I’ve never been on the circuit,' Eddie told The Washington Post in
October of last year.
