Tracey Edmonds covered the August 5th issue of JET magazine and she candidly talked about her relationship with Eddie Murphy, revealing that she knew about the paternity issue with Melanie Brown all along:
Tracey – who was previously married to music star Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds for 13 years – reveals she isn’t too bothered by the dispute between her actor fiancé, who proposed to her with a yellow diamond Cartier engagement ring, and his Spice Girl ex-lover.
“The Melanie Brown situation had absolutely no impact on my relationship with Eddie. I knew about the potential paternity issue,” she told JET magazine.
“That relationship was long over and so it had absolutely no impact on Eddie and I. Eddie is a wonderful man. He’s a wonderful father and so I’ve been supportive of him throughout this whole journey. We’re very happy and we’re going strong.”
And Tracey, who hasn’t set a date for the upcoming nuptials yet, says that she and Eddie, who met years ago, connect on various levels.
“He’s obviously funny but he’s really brilliant to talk to. He’s very creative,” she added gushingly.
Boy this woman is determined to have a successful black man for her family! Lets see what happens when she gets pregnant with Eddie Jr.
Something about her annoys me..I can’t put my finger on it yet.
1st…?
HANDCLAP PLEASE!!!……Tracey knows what she is doing!!!….LOL
Actually your not first but anyway………..Obviously it was a reason Eddie was not sure so why would that be an issue b/t Tracey and Eddie? Now on the other hand if he does step up then and only then will her “womanhood” be put to the test. Only a real woman would walk away from a man who does not take care of his children no matter how good he is in other aspects of his life.
:-/ Something about her irks me as well…It’s like the strong woman role that she attempts to put on is just a facade…I never could marry a man that initially denied the paternity of a child that he fathered and then really doesn’t want anything to do with his new daughter…something just seems totally off about this whole thing, but who knows…and what about Johnny Gill???
LMAO@Tianna for saying let’s see what happens when she get pregnant with Eddie Jr. I know right
Tracy is a beautiful women. I love the way she carries herself. I had no idea Jet was still around.lol
She’s a damn fool. Now, let’s here some of those same people talking about media hog now that it is Tracey.
I liked her and respected her so much more when she was under the cut. Now it seems like she’s just like the rest of these attention whores. Whatever happened to being subtle and private? And a baby with Donkey? Ummm… Eddie’s funny and all but that man was not made for having all these offspring, despite what he thinks.
MISS ERIN, i so agree with your first post. I hope he can put his pride aside and be a part of that child’s life.
Did any of you think their engagement almost seemed like it came about as a result of the paternity test? maybe it’s just me
Tracy is one paid woman. A millionaire ex husband baby daddy. A millionaire future hubby and could be baby daddy. Umph I need to roll like her
Her hair looks beautiful! All those curls make me miss my sew-in. Big-ups to her for even being with Edie Murphy and all his baggage.
I wish all of them luck in whatever happens. Its good to see a black couple doing well in the news media. I think we should congratulate instead of hate on them. If Tracey was a white woman then you’d be talking about that. Be happy for the woman.
PEACE
Whatever. she needs to be working on creating some shows of substance on BET or TVOne instead of following Eddie around. Why is she all of a sudden on the cover of mags, I thought her thing was being behind the scene. I smell opportunist. Does anyone else? T
The weird thing is she is paid as the former Mrs. Edmonds and yes she worked hard to earn her own money, but lets be honest that was a power move. Marry someone with clout and yes your shows will get picked up, you get meetings that most won’t so I guess all that is left to get is the spotlight, that is what Eddie can bring her. Fake celebrity shine. Whatever!
I still cant see myself even getting engaged to somebody who has that much drama.
Miss Erin…that’s exactly it…”It’s like the strong woman role that she attempts to put on is just a facade”
DId her and Babyface have any children?
Tracey, like Kim Porter, is smarter than ya’ll give her credit for….
@#16, yea i think they had a little boy
uhmmm… no comment … YAWN YAWN
@#15, i agree with you completely! too much damn drama in his life. I don’t mess with bros who have hella unnecessary drama in their lives.
@16 and 18, they have two sons together. Babyface said he made the boys share a room because he wanted them to be close and not think they are entitled because of all they have. I wonder what her sons think of Eddie. Where the hell is Babyface?
Cult I agree I was thinking ppl still read Jet lol. Tracey has better sense than this
Why do people hate on a black women? If she acted like she did not know what was going on , she would be called stupid. Now she is saying she did know about Eddie and his issues, and we are saying that something is just not right. That is a bunch of Bull****. Let her and Eddie do them, and at least try and be happy. Because she knows what she is getting into.
WACK ON MANY LEVEL…Tracey Edmonds is a straight pimp….if he’s success; she will get him hell or high water!!! LOL
@21, thanks.
yea where the heck is Babyface? LOL
How can she say that Eddie’s relationship was long over. Mel B was only pregnant a few months, so she is talking crap. She was dating Eddie whilst Mel B was pregnant?? I find it funny how she is getting press and front covers now. No one cared about her before. She is an attention grabbing chick. As for her achievements….aside from Soul Food she has not done any work that is substantial. College Hill, pleeeease!!!!!!! How innovative. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt that she believes every word Eddie says but why is she constantly in the press talking about his paternity suit etc. She’s talking more than him. She wants the limelight and Hollywood lights that Eddie can give to her. She better hope that he also doesnt give her HIV from his non condom wearing DL ass. Good Luck Tracey!!!
What is Tracey talking about? Eddie’s relationship with Mel had just ended when she and Eddie hooked up. He dropped Mel with the quickness. Although I don’t think she should try to get in the middle of Eddie and Mel’s relationship, I do think she should encourage him to see his daughter. She knows she would have been pissed if Babyface did that to their boys.
@WONDERWOMAN
I agree with you. Eddie better hope his career doesn’t fall off for some reason, cause if it does Tracey will be gone. Its funny how when Babyface was in the spotlight their marriage was fine but when he fell off she left. She just wants to be seen.
Another note – Mel B left the Spice Girls with 20 million pounds which is equivalent to $38 million dollars, not including anything else she has made. She is also getting paid for her reunion tour for several million. The fact that she cant sing doesnt matter (cos we all know her vocals leave a lot to be desired). She is still paid regardless and had no need to breed for Eddie Murphy to get paid. He was regularly seen and photographed with her. They were a couple. He met her Father, she met his kids. Yes she may feel bitter, but he made her look like a whore. He was wrong and he will get what he deserves. What goes around, comes around and the same goes for Tracey. Running her skanky ass with that Ba#$y M#@ for fame.
#1 and #5..i agree, she irks me as well…but i cant hate….she is a rich heffa
I don’t like women who get with men after the fact, then all of a sudden they know what went down in their previous relationship. Know this a man lies like water, she can’t take his word for nothing. I think the paternity test showed who is trustworthy
Mel B. and Eddie isn’t. Tracey Edmonds is a fool, you never get with a man after the fact then take up for him. No one knows what went on between Eddie and Mel B. but them. Tracey know that.
Tracey must be head over heels in luv wit eddie 2 stay in a situation like this.
#1 I feel the same way she just sorta rubs me the wrong way
Now picture dis if this was some around tha way chick talkin like that she would get called stupid and ignorant…..sexin somebody wit all deez damn kidz and problems
but anyways
Im out
STOP THE MADNESS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but u know what?
eddie must got that power beef cause he baggin all these pretty females!
he sure aint no handsome ass, make u wanna drop yo’ draws and ask him “how u want it boo” type of dude……i’m just sayin…..
I agree with you #31. How are you going to speak on someone else’s relationship when you have just started messing with this man. the only two people who know what went down are Eddie and Mel B. Tracey has obviously being listening to Eddie’s side. I am not saying that she should hate Mel B, but she should look at it from the standpoint of a women who wants the best for their child. just the way he treated her throughout the preganancy should raise a red flag. if he did not want to be with her then fine, but Eddie made it seem like Mel B was some groupie who he smashed and then she is trying to get money. Tracey, just like Eddie’s ex-wife, is only concerned with the status and the money she sees in a man.
Tracey is beautiful but scandalous as hell…
LMAO!! she can say “absolutely no impact” as many times as she like..i know her ass was sweatin that Mel B might drain her piggy bank..oops..i mean Eddie Murphy, the man who she loves deeply (and not for reasons to do with boosting her status/career prospects/wealth)
hmmmmmm
# 26 I agree and who was Tracey b4 Eddie? cause her and Face split long b4 the public knew. She likes the limelight
I would be the last person to disrespect this chick’s hustle. But what annoys me about her is that she is on the cover of Jet magazine for no other reason than being Eddie’ s current love thing. Her attention seeking behavior is getting out of hand. I know she is a smart business woman but that is not why she is on the cover of JET. All this fake celebrity by association is so verrry verrry annoying.
Eddie, pay your child support. U look corney.
kind
I meant who was Tracey dating b4 Eddie
I guess she love the dude that much or she love his money, regardless of the drama he caused…from not acknowledging Angel.
Now come on #17 you know damn well Kim Porter slow ass don’t have nothing on Tracey Edmond I can’t front when Tracey was with babyface she was a bad bit%h she learned the business then she got on her own and showed that she is not just a pretty face. As for ms. porter three kids all by star just to get a ring it don’t happen and all you learned from diddy is how to start a business throwing partys and selling tshirt. But she can always come go to school with me and show her girls you don’t have to ran behind a man. Now back to tracey there is nothing wrong with standing by your man but reflection of you and not being a good father not Bank isn’t a good look ma and what gets me mad she will be the stepmom but I like the women eiddie ex is she step in so she gets much respect in my book PEACE!!
So!?
Tracey is an opportunist – thats why her relationship with Eddie will work because as long as its money involved, and she can get a connect – she’s with whatever! Eddie can have his alternative lifestyle all day long with Tracey, because she’s gonna do the same – and it can all be kept under wraps for the right $ – You have to remember she was a video girl! Her MOTHER is the real brains and mouth-piece behind the whole operation! From Edmonds to Murphy – she will build her legacy off other men’s names… Why not name call your company McQuaran Ent (your family last name)? because that doesnt open doors like Kenneth Edmonds name used to or Eddie Murphy’s will. Look for an Edmonds produced film starring Eddie Murphy real soon!!!
And her brother Mike is also a clown that rides her coat tails. He’s had his share of sexual harassment suits within The Edmonds Entertainment Company that net’d some hefty payouts. Babyface was pretty upset about those situations but kept them all private. Her family moto is to make millions off the men that Tracey’s involved with.
Tracey’s straight forward on her quest for the cake and has no problem offering the coochie to get ahead. Ask the exec who green-lighted her “Soul Food” series or Bob Johnson, hell even Babyface will tell you.. thats how their relationship floundered – she does anything for the almighty dollar! This is high class hoe’dom at it’s best!
she n Babyface made a cuter couple than Eddie shit I jus hope she doesnt have any children by him cuz everbody knoz how he likes to deny his responsibilities
Tracey will be producing a movie starring Eddie…..MAKE THA PAPER TRACEY!! LOL
I FUCKIN WIT NO BROKE NIGGA’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is she known for bein eddie’s jump-off or her achievements?????? im just wondering
uugh hate her.
LMBAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ 39!!! I’m sure he’ll be in here soon.
I agree with many of you all. How can a REAL WOMAN, honestly stay with a man who denies his children. And then for her to say she knew about it and it didnt bother her. I dont know any of the parties and it bothered me. Some “women “are just as triflin as some of these “men”
She may have a plan, but it still makes her look really stupid!! I hate women that chase after men…it’s sad and pitiful!!!!
There are a whole bunch of hypocrites up in here today. Who in the world knew or cared about Mel B until she started dating Eddie? And we cared even less until she popped up pregnant with his baby. Now she’s everywhere! And no one thinks that it’s a coincedence that she’s on magazine covers talking about Eddie right before her reunion tour? The girl has lawyers to deal with the issue so there’s no reason for her to be pimping her baby and exploiting herself on magazine covers telling all her business for any other reason than being scorned and bitter. Not to mention the meeting with his ex-wife at the restaurant with the WINDOW seat.
YALL AINT RIGHT!
BUT YOUR DAMN SHO IS FUNNY!
I’M NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY ABOUT OH GIRL-SHE’S PRETTY AND OBVIOUSLY HAS GOOD BUSINESS CENTS
I LIKE THE FACT THAT MOST WOMEN AGREE THAT IT’S NOT A GOOD LOOK TO SPEAK ON A PAST RELATIONSHIP THAT YOUR CURRENT MAN HAD WITH A WOMEN-EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE TRUTH-YOU REALLY DON’T BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T THERE
i agree with (the one).. she is by far the biggest fame whore out there. a complete opportunist and is loving every minute of it. if it wasnt for an Eddie Murphy in her life, do you really think she would be on a cover of a magazine? i dont think so.
its so staged and its sickening
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ITS STILL SCARY HOW SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE THE SINGER PEBBLES
SHE’S AN IDIOT FOR DEALING WITH EDDIE & JOHNNY GILL LMAOOO
So now she’s cover worthy???? Oh I forgot, its JET. they sindicate every week so she probally just happen to be in the nieghborhood and JET was like oh that’s Eddies new toy, cool lets put her on our 5in. cover.! I mean has she even done anything relevant other than looking fly in her 40s, divorce a producer, and get engaged to a famous gay man??
she would have been better off-using jet to discuss an upcoming show she is producing and mention the eddie & mel thing
that way it wouldn’t appear that she is being a media whore
just saying…….I doubt she cares
