They've been dating since 2012, but Eddie Murphy is not past flexing his chivalrous muscles for his Australian girlfriend Paige Butcher.

The 54-year-old American funnyman and his 36-year-old statuesque other half grabbed coffee drinks in LA's Studio City on Saturday.  

And as the Big Momma's House 2 co-stars arrived back at their car, the comedian gallantly pulled the passenger seat's door open for his model girlfriend.

For their weekend outing, the notoriously laid-back couple wore similar relaxed outfits.

Paige, whose career kicked off at 15 when she won a Covergirl model search, chose a blue jumper, tight jeans, and a pair of thongs.

The leggy ex-Maxim model tied her hair back into a bun, and shaded her eyes from the California sun with a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses.

LA cool: For the coffee outing, Eddie wore black high-tops with baggy shorts and a loose tee, while the leggy ex-Maxim model went equally casual with a blue jumper, tight jeans, and a pair of thongs

Her Beverly Hills Copy actor boyfriend, dressed in a black tee, long shorts, and high-top sneakers, rested his arm around her shoulder protectively.

Since the couple began dating three years ago, they have enjoyed spending quality time on their daily coffee pilgrimages. 

The Perth-born beauty and Eddie are habitually spotted heading to and from their java fix pick-ups.

And when they are not enjoying their java fixes, the pair are frequently seen spending time with two of Eddie's six children - 25-year-old Bria and 20-year-old Shayne - both from his previous marriage to Nicole Mitchell.

Paige and Eddie met back in 2006 when they working together on the film Big Momma's House 2, but denied the rumours of a relationship that began to surface years later.

However, months later, the couple went public with their relationship and have been indulging in public displays of affection on coffee trips ever since.
