Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan are planning on marrying soon

Eddie Murphy's ex-wife and mother of five of his children, Nicole Murphy, is planning on marrying on-again off-again beau Michael Strahan in a small private ceremony. I wish these two well, I really do. I sincerely hope they get counseling prior to getting married to deal with their issues of infidelity, insecurity, and the like. For those of you who don't know, Nicole Murphy allegedly cheated on Michael throughout the early part of their relationship. He (allegedly) suspected she was cheating and placed several (!) tracking devices on her car to keep tabs on her. He even (allegedly) went to far as to ambush her while she was out with the other man. The two patched things up and have been going strong ever since.
