STRAHAN & MURPHY GET ENGAGED

Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy are engaged.



Strahan, 37, popped the question to Murphy (the ex-wife of actor Eddie Murphy) on a beach in the Bahamas with a canary yellow and white diamond ring.

"I have a great relationship and she's a great girl," says Strahan, who is a father of four. "I don't like to talk much about my private life, but I'm really happy."

Murphy, who has five children with her ex, wouldn't comment about the plans for her future with Strahan but did mention, "There aren't any plans for kids… We've got nine between us already." D*MN!!!!!

In other Strahan news, his pilot for his new TV show, Brothers, has been picked up. In mid-September, FOX will premiere the sitcom in which Strahan plays a former NFL star dealing with post-gridiron life. Strahan will co-star with Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, CCH Pounder and Carl Weathers.
