It’s official — Eddie Murphy’s son Eric is married to Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, making the two comedy legends real-life in-la
During his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Eddie Murphy confirmed his son Eric’s wedding with Martin Lawrence’s daughter took place in a quiet, private church ceremony.
“They were planning a big wedding like everyone else, but then they just decided to keep it small and personal,” Murphy shared. “So it ended up being just the two of them and the preacher.”
Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence Opt for a Private Ceremony
The couple, who began dating in 2021 and got engaged in late 2024, surprised their families and fans by skipping a lavish wedding. Instead, they tied the knot in a low-key event. Eddie joked during the interview, “Martin doesn’t have to pay for a big wedding now,” and added, “We’re in-laws.”
The wedding of Eddie Murphy’s son Eric and Martin Lawrence’s daughter was kept under wraps, but they were seen together shortly after at the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiere in Los Angeles on June 20, 2024, glowing with happiness.
Murphy noted that although the pair didn’t host a full celebration, one might still be coming. “They just went to the church and got married. But we’ll probably throw a big party later,” he said.
Will Eddie Murphy Sing at the Party?
When host Jennifer Hudson asked Eddie if he’d perform at the wedding party, he quickly laughed it off: “No, I ain’t singing! Martin will sing — that’d be funny.” He did, however, tease the idea of a duet.
A Love Story That Felt Like Destiny
Eric proposed to Jasmin in November 2024, and they shared the sweet moment on Instagram in a romantic video featuring candles, rose petals, and Eric Benét’s “Spend My Life With You.” Jasmin can be heard saying, “It’s beautiful! Oh my gosh,” before accepting the ring and sharing a kiss with Eric.
In the caption, she wrote:
“We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤️❤️.”
Their Famous Fathers Didn’t Set Them Up
Despite their celebrity backgrounds, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence’s love story didn’t start with their dads. Jasmin revealed in an interview with InTouch Weekly that it was her uncle who introduced them.
“It wasn’t even our dads — my uncle introduced us,” she said. “We just clicked. We understood each other because of our similar upbringings.”
Comedy Icons React to the Marriage
Both Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have joked about their kids getting married. Back in 2022, Lawrence told Jimmy Kimmel he hoped Eddie would pay for the wedding. Murphy later laughed that off in an interview with Canadian outlet Etalk.
“That’s not how it works,” Eddie said. “My daughter got married and I had to pay — really pay. Martin’s paying this time!”
He ended with a laugh, warning Martin not to pull a “Hollywood switch” to get out of it.
Conclusion
Now that Eddie Murphy’s son Eric has officially married Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, the families have united in the most heartwarming way. What began as a quiet love story has turned into a real-life union of two comedy dynasties — and fans couldn’t be happier.
