NO DRAMA BETWEEN NICOLE MURPHY'S EX AND FIANCÉ: Eddie Murphy and Michael Strahan 'give each other a hug when they see each other.'

       "They're cool," Murphy, 41, tells People.com of Strahan, 39, and Eddie Murphy, 48, the father of her five children – Bria, 20, Myles, 17, Shayne, 15, Zola, 9, and Bella, 7. "They'll give each other a hug when they see each other."

       Strahan - now on FOX as an analyst for "FOX NFL Sunday" and in the comedy "Brothers" - proposed to Nicole in the Bahamas last June and is currently planning for a June 2010 wedding.      

       "I'm excited," says Murphy, who vowed she would never marry again – until she met Strahan. "I didn't think I would," she says. "I mean, there were good times, and there were some bad times, and [after my divorce] I was thinking, 'Ugh, I don't ever want to get married again.' So when I met somebody that I have everything in common with, who I enjoy being with, it was so refreshing."       

       "I love the fact that I can act silly in front of Michael," she says, "just sing out loud and do whatever. We'll just laugh at each other. We're comfortable with each other, and we have a lot in common."       

       Nicole says she's planning a small beach ceremony that will incorporate all nine of her children – her five, and Strahan’s four – into the wedding party.       

       "It's my second time around, and I had the big extravagant wedding when I got married to Eddie. I want to do something really simple," she says. "I want the dress to be flowy and elegant, and I'd love all the guests to wear cream, and no shoes on the beach.       

       And will the happy couple be looking to add to their family?       

       "No way!" Murphy tells People. "I'm waiting for grandbabies now."
