Both Erin and her TV mom Samantha (played by late star Elizabeth Montgomery) married men with the same first name—and it’s not an especially common one.
Murphy married investment banker Darren Dunckel in 1998. In an interview with Bewitched.net, she admitted that it was funny to have a husband with the same name as her TV dad.
On Bewitched, Darrin Stephens was played by Dick York for five seasons before he quit the show due to medical problems and was replaced by Dick Sargent. In a long-running gag on the hit sitcom, the character was often mistakenly called “Durwood” by his mother-in-law Endora (Agnes Moorehead).
”She was pregnant with her second son," Murphy shared in a 2026 appearance on Celebrity Drop. “And as a coincidence, I'm the same age as her first son, but she was pregnant with her son, Robert, and they decided it was the perfect time for Darrin and Samantha to have a baby as well.”
“I worked equal time with Dick York and Dick Sargent, 3 years each, six total,” she told The Guardian. “I loved them both and definitely thought of all the cast members as extended family, not just co-workers.”
“My entire life I have been so diplomatic because I loved them both,” she told People in 2024, “Watching the show, Dick York is a better Darrin. Dick York was a dad, and he had a lot of kids, and he was just more paternal. So he was more like a dad.”
