4 Lara LaRue
Celebrities can surely go out with whomever they want to go out with, and they’ll hardly ever take the trouble to try and prove just how great they are since they are indeed celebrities. Celebs Now reported that back in March of 2008, Murphy met Lara LaRue, who is CSI: Miami’s star, Eva LaRue’s sister, when he was out bowling, and sources claim he was immediately smitten.
LaRue, who was 22 years old at the time, was a sushi waitress, and Murphy is said to have sent her flowers regularly and they even got to the point of discussing how they’d move in together. It would be important to mention that this was the same year he had married Tracey Edmonds and split up with her after just two weeks.
As you would expect, this relationship was over within two months. Many people at the time claimed LaRue was just a rebound, though the relationship must have been fun for both of them while it lasted.
3 Jasmine Guy
If you watched A Different World, a sitcom which aired from 1987 to 1993 on NBC, then you remember Jasmine Guy in one of her earliest and most epic performances. For her role in the show throughout the four years from 1987 to 1993, she won the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
This show was created by Bill Cosby and was a spin-off of his earlier very successful sitcom called The Cosby Show. Jasmine was and continues to be a very successful actress, who continues to appear in films and different TV shows. In 1989, she starred alongside Eddie Murphy in a comedy film called Harlem Nights.
Jasmine makes it here because complex.com reported some rumors that surrounded her involvement with Murphy during the making of the film. At the time, Murphy wasn’t yet married, and he had already started to develop a reputation for being a ladies man. This relationship didn’t last.
2 Beverly Johnson
When talking about people who played an active role in redefining what society considered a beautiful woman should look like, Beverly Johnson is a name we can’t ignore. Johnson is an actress, singer, entrepreneur, and model who became the first African-American woman to be on the cover of Vogue Magazine back in August 1974 as well as on Elle, the French edition, the following year.
In 2008, The New York Times listed Johnson as one of the most influential people of the 20th century in fashion. In 2012, she starred in her own reality show, Beverly’s Full House, which aired on OWN.
In 2015, Johnson appeared on Sway In The Morning, where she talked about her career and promoted her memoir which she called The Face That Changed It All. In her memoir, she talked about her relationship with Bill Cosby, as well as the dates she had with Eddie Murphy and his bodyguards.
