Nicole Parker Murphy, Eddie Murphy’s ex wife, is the girlfriend of Michael Anthony Strahan, a former American football defensive end who played for the New York Giants of the National Football League, since 2007. Apparently, Nicole Murphy, a model and occasional actress, was having the underground affairs with Demetrius Spencer (picture here), a Universal Records A&R executive.  Michael Strahan,  currently a football analyst on FOX NFL Sunday, suspected his girlfriend was cheating, he secretly tracked Nicole Murphy by installing a GPS device on her Range Rover. The tracking device was finally found this February when Nicole Murphy and Demetrius Spencer took the car to a luxury dealership in California. Consequently, the Murphy Spencer affairs were exposed, and Nicole chose to break up with Demetrius, not Strahan because the latter has a strong bond with her five kids from the marriage with Eddie Murphy and she was reluctant to call it quits. Story from New York Post:

When the gap-toothed ex-Giant suspected his longtime girlfriend of cheating, he put a tracking device in her car – and went ballistic when she found it, sources told The Post.

[...]

Murphy boasted in February 2008 that she and Strahan have a relationship based on “communication and shared interests.”

But she also had been sharing interests with Universal Records A&R exec Demetrius Spencer.

Introduced by a mutual pal, Murphy had been “hiding” her affection for Spencer from Strahan “for almost a year,” the sources said.

Using the excuse of “business trips,” a source said, Spencer and Murphy would jet off to exotic getaways in the Caribbean and Mexico.

For several months, the couple had exchanged gushing e-mails, professing their love for each other. In the notes, some of which were obtained by The Post, Murphy told Spencer she planned to come clean to Strahan about their relationship.

Murphy also began to suspect Strahan was checking up on her. There were “too many instances where he knew where she was,” said a source.

Things came to a head Feb. 20, after Spencer and Murphy took her Range Rover to a luxury dealership in Thousand Oaks, Calif.. Mechanics quickly discovered the tracking apparatus.

“This is the second tracking device he’s had put in her car,” one source said.

“This one was found behind the front dashboard.” Murphy and Spencer went to have lunch while the tracer – which one source said provided up-to-the-minute location status – was removed.

Seconds later, Strahan barged into the garage, “yelling and screaming,” a source said.

Spotting Murphy’s car with the tracking device exposed, Strahan walked over, ripped it off the dashboard and stormed out of the shop.

Spencer and Murphy subsequently called it quits, but remain friends, said one source.
