Murphy (who has nine children by five women) and Braxton (who has two kids with ex Keri Lewis) are "serious" this insider adds, as the Tower Heist star cheered on the singer backstage at her February 19 concert in Los Angeles.

Murphy was linked in the 1980s to Whitney Houston, but more recently dated Melanie Brown and Tracey Edmonds, exchanging vows in 2008 with the latter in a "symbolic" ceremony that was never made legal.
