Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have called it quits just two weeks after their intimate wedding, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.WENN adds:
"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.”
The couple exchanged vows in a sunset ceremony on New Year's Day on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia. But, according to a source, the honeymoon got off to a rocky start.
"Eddie started yelling at Tracey in front of people," says one of Edmonds's wedding guests. "He did it on a few occasions and it was very embarrassing."
Since the couple's nuptials took place in a foreign country, the wedding was purely ceremonial – not legal. Murphy, 46, and Edmonds, 40, originally said they planned to have a legal ceremony in the United States, but that is now off.
A source tells In Touch Weekly the couple fell out over the plans for a legal ceremony. The insider tells the magazine Murphy was upset when his new bride refused to take his name. Edmonds wanted to keep her existing name - from her marriage to R&B star Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds' - because her sons have that surname.Duh. Tracey is in the music industry. Of course she would opt to keep the name of the man who wrote such hits as "I'm Your Baby Tonight," "I'll Make Love To You," and the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack rather than take the name of the man responsible for "Party All the Time."
