Just two weeks after their wedding, Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have split, according to People.

The couple tied the knot on New Year's Day on a private island near Bora Bora in French Polynesia.

They began dating fall 2006 and were engaged in July.

Meanwhile "Extra" has the first official statement from Eddie Murphy's reps:

"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. 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."
