Nicole Mitchell looks incredible while running errands in Hollywood

On September 9, paparazzi caught Eddie Murphy ‘s former wife of 12 years picking up some groceries in West Hollywood, California. Given Bristol Farms’ close proximity to some of the hottest neighborhoods in LA, celebs like Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Greene, and Kendall Jenner often shop at the gourmet market chain. Mitchell looked stunning as she exited the restaurant.

Nearly 13 years after their wedding, Murphy and Mitchell separated, officially divorcing in 2006.

Despite their split, both Eddie and Nicole have maintained a cordial relationship post-divorce, particularly in co-parenting their children. Nicole has since founded a skincare company called YFOY . Its mission statement explains, “Your age and society’s expectations don’t define who you are, how you should look and feel, or the life you should live.” Nicole clearly lives this philosophy out loud.
