Eddie Murphy celebrated the young couple on “News Mornings” in July 2024 and said the two “look amazing together” when asked what he thought of their relationship.

“We just thought, ‘That’s cool.’ Yeah, it was cool. We thought it was cool,” he said. “They’re both beautiful, they look amazing together, and it’s funny, everyone’s like, ‘What, is that baby going to be funny?’ Our gene pool will make this baby fun.”
