Eddie Murphy and girlfriend Paige Butcher are still together and seem closer than ever, despite an 18-year age difference.

The couple, who went public last November at Spike TV's "Eddie Murphy: One Night Only" tribute, were seen out on a coffee run Sunday morning in Los Angeles, Calif. The 52-year-old comedian and his 33-year-old Australian model girlfriend were casually dressed as they held hands.

Murphy divorced his wife of 12 years, Nicole, in 2006. The two have five kids together. The veteran comedian also fathered a child with former Spice Girls member Melanie Brown (aka "Scary Spice.")

According to the Daily Mail, Butcher has previously dated Russell Simmons and Tyson Beckford.

The famed actor has been taking it easy professionally, making roughly a movie a year for the past few years. "Beverly Hills Cop," a series produced by Murphy in which he was set to appear in a recurring role, was recently rejected by CBS.

Eddie Murphy should feel pretty good today. The comedy legend was honored last night during the taping of Spike TV's Eddie Murphy: One Night Only special, and toasted by Hollywood pals like Samuel L. Jackson, Adam Sandler, Jamie Foxx and Russell Brand. Needless to say, the presenters didn't hold back on the funnies while paying tribute to the 51-year-old actor.

So many Goonie-Goo-Goos, so little time.

Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Adam Sandler, and Russell Brand were among the throng of comedy nerds turned superstars who came out Saturday night to pay homage the man who gave the world Axel Foley, Gumby Dammit!, the Klumps, Jimmy “Thunder” Early, and on and on. Spike TV’s two-hour Eddie Murphy: One Night Only taped Saturday in Beverly Hills (it airs Nov. 14 at 10 p.m. on Spike), and if the carpet-length display of Murphy’s moniker in gold letters wasn’t enough to honor the man, the accolades inside certainly were.
