Is Bill Murray Close To His Oldest Kids Despite Accusations He Cheated On Their Mother?

According to accusations made by Murray’s first wife, Margaret Kelly, Murray habitually cheated on her. More specifically, Kelly claimed thatMurray cheated on her with Jennifer Butler, the woman who became his second with.

In 2014, Murray commented on accusations he was a cheater during an interview with Howard Stern. According to Murray’s comments, he blamed any cheating he might have done on his relationships already being broken.

“Not to diminish a relationship with a woman … I can’t take on another relationship if I’m not taking care of the things I really need to take care of the most. It’s not a selfish thing … it’s sort of an obligation.”

During Bill Murray’s marriage to Margaret Kelly, they welcomed a pair of sons into the world. After their divorce, Murray’s relationships with his eldest children easily could have gone wrong based on the accusations his first wife made against him.

Fortunately for Murray, it appears that he has a solid relationship with his eldest two children despite the cheating accusations.

At the end of the day, the only people who know how close Murray is to his sons are the people involved. That said, the publicly available information certainly appears to indicate that Murray’s relationships with his eldest two children are strong despite the accusations.

In September 2016, Murray’s eldest son, Homer Murray, and a business partner opened a restaurant in New York City. During the opening of Homer Murray’s restaurant, 21 Greenpoint, the co-owner’s celebrity father appeared in person to pour drinks for patrons.

At the time, Homer Murray spoke to Eater NY about what kind of experience the restaurant’s owners wanted for their customers. Based on Homer Murray’s comments, it was perfect that Murray was there to make sure patrons enjoyed their night.

“We want people to come and have fun. People can walk in; just be nice. What my dad lacks in experience, he makes up for in tequila.”

Several years later, Homer Murray and his son Bill Murray teamed up in public once again. On this occasion, however, the celebrity actor didn’t show up to support his son. Instead, the father and son duo teamed up to support a good cause.

When restaurants were closed due to COVID-19, people who worked in the food industry struggled to get by. As a result, the Restaurant Employees Relief Fund was created. To raise money for the fund, Bill Murray and Homer Murray took part in a nacho challenge that The Food Network streamed on Facebook.

Just like his older brother, Bill Murray’s second son has blazed his own trail while still seeming to have a great relationship with his dad despite the accusations. In Luke Murray’s case, he has built a career in the sports world. Luke Murray is employed as an assistant coach for the University of Connecticut’s men’s basketball team.

In 2023, Luke Murray’s team won the NCAA Men’s Championship game. At that time, the coach’s famous father was in the stands to support his son. While talking to the press about his son at that game, Murray expressed how proud he is of his son Luke Murray.

“I’m very proud of this boy, he’s a wonderful kid and he’s worked very hard.”

While speaking to USA Today in 2017, Luke Murray spoke about his famous father. As Luke Murray explained, he is a very different person than his celebrity father, and they like that.

“I think that’s pretty clear early on. We’re different people, and I think [Murray] probably likes it that way,”

Given how close Luke and Homer Murray seem to be with their dad, that is a great thing for the celebrity. After all, his eldest children must know about the accusations their mom made against Murray.
