Eddie Murphy has just added to his growing brood.

The 55-year-old comedian welcomed his ninth child -- a baby girl -- with his longtime girlfriend, 36-year-old Paige Butcher, on Tuesday morning, his rep confirmed to ET. The couple named their daughter, Izzy Oona Murphy.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," the rep says.

Izzy -- who weighed 7 lbs., 15oz. and was 19 1/2 inches at birth -- marks the first child for Butcher, and the ninth for Murphy. Murphy's oldest children are Eric, with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, and Christian, with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood. He has five additional kids with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell -- Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella. His youngest is 9-year-old Angel, with former Spice Girl Melanie "Mel B" Brown.

Murphy and Butcher have been dating since 2012.
