New York: Actor Eddie Murphy seems to be getting over his split from Tracey Edmonds. He is now dating waitress Lara LaRue.

Murphy and Edmonds split in January just after a low-key wedding in Bora Bora, intouchweekly.hollywood.com reports.

Murphy's friend said: "He is already telling his friends that he is in love."

Lara works in a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. An insider said that Lara and Eddie met while bowling and they are trying to keep the relationship quiet. They share the same birthday - April 3, but he is 47 and she is 25.

"He's been sending Lara huge floral arrangements practically every day and is talking about moving in together," added a friend.
