Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife Tracey Edmonds claims her new partner Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is wittier than the comedian.

Edmonds wed The Nutty Professor star Murphy on the Pacific island of Bora Bora on New Year’s Day after a year-long romance, but split just a fortnight later – before they could make the nuptials legal in their native U.S.

But despite only having been on a few dates with the hip-hop star, Edmonds has already rated him higher than her ex-husband.

She says, “Diddy is the funniest man I’ve ever met. I’m so lucky to find someone so soon after Eddie.

“It’s early days – we’ve only been on three or four dates – but he’s whisked me off my feet. I don’t know about wedding bells but he’s definitely the man for me.”
