Eddie Murphy Dating Toni Braxton

If you think having 8 kids and a busy movie career would keep a person too busy to enjoy the dating scene, Eddie Murphy is out to prove you wrong.   The 50-year old Norbit star has started dating singer Toni Braxton, 44.   The pair have always been fans of each other's work, but now things have gotten more serious, with Murphy hanging out backstage at some of Braxton's most high-profile concert appearances.

The relationship is not Murphy's first foray into the world of R&B temptresses -- he was once romantically linked to the late Whitney Houston (in the late 1980's).
