Split Decisions: For Richer but Not for Poorer

Maybe the name game was part of the problem (Eddie wanted the wife to become Tracey Murphy, according to our Planet Gossip scoop). But there also may have been a third party in the split: Money!

The New York Post suggests the couple's post-Bora Bora brouhaha stemmed from Tracey's refusal to sign a prenup. The Post spins it that she was after his money, but it could have easily been the other way around. Edmonds is, after all, a megasuccessful movie producer and music mogul of many years. Obviously, Eddie's no broke-ass brother, but on the other hand, she doesn't strike us as much of a gold digger.
