In a recent interview with murphy, he reflected on having a large family, saying, “It just happened,” he said. “I never knew I would have 10 kids, but now it’s the best thing ever. If you can afford that many kids, you should have as many kids as you can afford. That is fun.” He added, “My children are all decent people. I don’t have one rotten one, and I would like to think that they got some of that from me.”

Bria and Michael’s baby news arrives three years after the couple exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony in Beverly Hills.
