Eddie Murphy Denies Dating Whitney Houston


Years ago it was rumored that Eddie Murphy and Whitney Houston were dating. Eddie finally sets the record straight.

Eddie Murphy is putting to bed rumors that he and late singer Whitney Houston had a fling back in the 80s. The comedian, who stars in the new comedy, A Thousand Words, shut down the rumor in an interview with Extra.

“I was never dating Whitney. She was a friend of mine. I may have gone to dinner with her a few times, but it was never like we were dating — we were never boyfriend and girlfriend. We were very friendly acquaintance,” the comedian explained.

“She was a beautiful person. I hear a lot of people talking about her sense of humor, and she really did have a great sense of humor, she was a funny girl.”

He added, “I know when I was around Whitney, I never saw any diva-ness; I never saw her do any drugs. I saw her smoke a cigarette before, but that was about it. She knows I did not like that and she didn’t do that around me.”

Murphy also shrugged off rumors that he’s dating R&B singer Toni Braxton — a rumor we fixed earlier this week. “I haven’t been on an actual traditional date in quite some time; I’m due. I’m going to take someone on a date really soon.”

Hee we go! Once agin the media is trying to find a boyfriend other than Bobby Brown to pair Whitney off with. Whitney was GAY the media has always tried to hide it and they will not find anyone even dating back to high school that Whitney had a relationship with except for Robyn. Let the poor women rest in peace tell her real story so the world can come to terms with it.

Gay or not, Ed is still the funniest mofo on the planet.

Jackie from 227 said she introduced Bobby and Eddie to Whitney ,but Whitney liked Bobby Brown because he was more "street" ....Jackie said Eddie Murphy was too bougie for Whitney....hence no relationship.

If they went out to dinner then maybe Whitney considered it a date but Eddie considered it dinner with a friend. Who knows..

Thank you! I was watching Arsenio Hall when he grilled Whitney about it, and remember he and Eddie were thick as thieves back then. Finally, Whitney said, "we've been intimate." They may not have been a couple, but the got it in at least once. That makes 'em more than friends.

AND, remember on Being Bobby Brown (yeah, I watched it. So what?), Whitney commented that one of her exes either liked having his nipples fondled or liked fondling his nipples during sex. Bobby kept asking her, "who?" Then he said, "I bet it was Eddie. He looks like he like stuff like that."
Umm-hmmm lol.
