Eddie Murphy’s Son Eric Marries Martin Lawrenceโ€™s Daughter Jasmin


Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are more than just former co-stars.

Murphyโ€™s son Eric has tied the knot with Lawrenceโ€™s daughter Jasmin.

โ€œActually, they got married, like, two weeks ago,โ€ Murphy said on the May 29 episode of โ€œThe Jennifer Hudson Show.โ€

โ€œThey went off, everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.โ€

The โ€œBeverly Hills Copโ€ star said he and Lawrence, who have appeared together in the big-screen comedies โ€œLifeโ€ and โ€œBoomerang,โ€ now have a deeper connection, thanks to their kids, who announced their engagement in November of last year.

โ€œYeah, weโ€™re in-laws and he doesnโ€™t have to pay for the big wedding now,โ€ he joked.

That quip came after Lawrence previously said Murphy was making him pay for the wedding.

โ€œWell, Eddie said I gotta pay for it,โ€ Lawrence said in December 2024 on the radio show โ€œBig Boyโ€™s Neighborhood.โ€ โ€œHe said I gotta pay for it, because he paid for his last daughterโ€™s wedding, like, the last six weddings … but he said itโ€™s my turn now.โ€

Murphy, who has 10 kids, said they may have gotten hitched, but a celebration may be in the wings.

โ€œI think weโ€™ll have a big party or something,โ€ he said.

Murphyโ€™s son and Lawrenceโ€™s daughter confirmed their romance on Instagram in 2021. In 2023, Murphy told TODAY the couple spends a lot of time together.

โ€œJasminโ€™s always at the house with Eric,โ€ he said.

Wedding celebration planning aside, Murphy also hopes Lawrence, who has three daughters, will join him in remaking a comedy classic.

โ€œThereโ€™s a bunch of ideas that we have,โ€ he said. โ€œThereโ€™s one thing: โ€˜Itโ€™s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.โ€™ Itโ€™s an old movie from the สผ60s. I want to remake it and do it with all the funniest, like, a whoโ€™s who of Black comics. Thatโ€™s what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that.โ€
