Quick Quotes: Eddie Murphy Denies Romance With Toni Braxton

Despite rumors that the two are deeply involved Eddie Murphy doesn’t want any parts of Toni Braxton’s box. Take a bow and breathe again, Johnny Gill:

Page Six – When asked if he had a new paramour, Murphy told “Access Hollywood” in an interview last night, “I don’t even know who the new love is. I know I’m single and I’m just up at the house, playing the guitar and being a single dad.”

When asked specifically about reports that he and Braxton were “getting very serious,” Murphy said the rumors aren’t true.

“Toni and I are just friends,” Murphy claimed. “I went to her show, and we’re friends and she’s a very, very sweet girl, but we’re just friends.”

Mr. Murph was last seen on the scene with a leggy blonde in November at a furniture store in Beverly Hills hours after announcing that he will not be hosting the Oscars this year because his friend producer Brett Ratner had to drop out from producing the show.
