Elsewhere in the episode, Murphy, 63, talked about some of the “not hip” TV shows he and Butcher, 44, watch together.
“I’m not ashamed to say it: Every night at 6 o’clock, when I eat dinner, I watch Steve Harvey and ‘Family Feud.’ On Tuesdays, I watch ‘The Masked Singer.’ We do! My wife and I, we watch all of those shows, the singing competitions and that kind of stuff. … Last year, I watched all of ‘The Golden Bachelor,'” he shared.
A rep for Murphy didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment on whether he and Butcher are married.
