Eddie Murphy celebrated New Year's Day by marrying film producer Tracey Edmonds.

The pair exchanged vows yesterday on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia. The wedding was attended by a small group of family and friends, their representatives told People magazine.

Murphy and Edmonds began dating and were engaged in July last year. Murphy, 46, has five children from his marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy, who filed for divorce in 2005. He also has a daughter with Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown.

Edmonds, 40, has two sons from her 13-year marriage to singer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. As head of Edmonds Entertainment Group Inc., she has produced the film and television series "Soul Food."

Murphy's film credits include "Dreamgirls," and the "Beverly Hills Cop," "The Nutty Professor," "Shrek" and "Dr. Doolittle" movies.
