Murphy and Paige's love story began over 10 years. They first started dating in 2012 before becoming engaged in 2018.
They have daughters Izzy Oona, eight, and son Max Charles, five, together.
While the marriage marks Paige's first time walking down the aisle, it is the second time Eddie has said 'I do.'
He was previously married to actress Nicole Mitchell Murphy, 56, from 1993 to 2006. They share Bria, 34, Myles, 31, Shayne, 29, Zola, 24, and Bella, 21.
He is also dad to Eric, 34, from his relationship with former girlfriend Paulette McNeely; Christian, 33, from his relationship with Tamara Hood, and Angel, 17, whom he shares with former Spice Girl Melanie 'Mel B' Brown, 49.
Eddie and Paige's nuptials come over a week after the actor referred to his long-time fiancee as his wife.
The Shrek franchise actor used the word 'wife' twice during an appearance on The New York Times podcast The Interview.

The Hollywood icon was promoting his new film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
At one point during the chat with host David Marchese, the Beverly Hills Cop star was talking about how early in his career, Oscar-winner Marlon Brando wanted to meet him when he was about 20.
The former Saturday Night Live star then revealed he was 'out of touch' with today's up-and-coming stars.
'I used to be so hip, I used to know who everybody was, and now there's just so much stuff,' said Murphy.

'I'm not ashamed to say it,' he said, 'Every night at 6 o'clock, when I eat dinner, I watch Steve Harvey and Family Feud.
'On Tuesdays, I watch The Masked Singer.'
