Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds' faux wedding and illegal marriage lasted a whole 2 weeks! Seeing that the ish wasn't even legally recognized, it further justifies my conspiracy theory that it was all a business arrangement and publicity stunt. A very expensive Bora Bora publicity stunt.

I know Babyface and Johnny Gill are somewhere giggling!

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further," Murphy and Edmonds tell PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.”

I wonder how much Essence paid for the pictures of their wedding?

Maybe Tracey couldn't handle Eddie tyrannical nature!? According to Janet Charlton Eddie had some seriously controlling ways:

When Eddie was married to his wife Nicole, he was LORD AND MASTER around the house. According to an employee who worked in his house, persnickety Eddie has strict rules. He expected his beautiful wife Nicole to appear at the breakfast table every day with her makeup and hair DONE, and looking very together. But she was for his eyes only. He instructed every guy who worked at the house - gardeners, repairmen, pool men etc, NOT to look directly at her! Anyone caught staring at Nicole was instantly fired.
