Impressive: Nicole Murphy shows off her amazing body as she leaves the gym and heads to nail salon yesterday in Beverly Hills


She might be 43 years old and the mother of five children - but Nicole Murphy has a body that many woman half her age would kill to have.

The ex wife of Hollywood star Eddie Murphy, she flashed her washboard six pack as she strolled to a nail salon in Beverly Hills, California, after going to the gym.

Model Nicole and Murphy, who split in 2006, are parents to Shayne, 16, Zola, 11, Bella, 9, Myles, 18 and 21-year-old Bria, who's become a model just like mother.

Bria was named in January as the Global Brand Ambassador of Dark And Lovely hair products.

The first met in 1988 and were together for years before they married in 1993, before splitting in 206.

She landed a $15million divorce settlement and the family home - however, she wasn't able to make the payments on the 11,000 square foot mansion so the home has been been put on the market for $6million.

Nicole has allegedly already spent her settlement and is subsequently broke.

Despite being granted $15 million in settlement from her divorce to the 49-year-old Daddy Day Care star in 2006, Nicole has allegedly already spent the whole amount and is subsequently broke.

According to the Huffington Post, she also owes the IRS $846,000, a law firm $600,000, a landscaping company $60,000 and owes $5 million dollars on the Los Angeles home.

Nicole is currently engaged to former New York Giants defensive end, and current FOX NFL sportscaster/analyst, Michael Strahan.

Eddie meanwhile famously hooked up with former Spice Girl Melanie Brown after his split from Nicole, during which they had a child, Angel.

However, he and Mel split with huge acrimony, with Eddie refusing to acknowledge that the child was his, saying that the were not in a exclusive relationship and insisting that she take a paternity test before he would acknowledge the child.

He told a reporter at the time: Murphy told a reporter, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir.'

However, Nicole has been credited with smoothing relations between Mel B and Eddie and reuniting the Shrek star with Angel, who will be four next month on Eddie's birthday - April 3.

A source said: 'Angel is Eddie's youngest child, and Nicole wants her children to know her. That helped Eddie to come around and get past all the animosity he had towards Mel.'

He also married music industry executive Tracey Edmonds in January 2008, but the wedding was annulled as the ceremony had been held on the Polynesian island of Bora Bora so was not legal under U.S. law.
