by

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are two legendary entertainers who have crossed paths quite often, but they will now be closer than ever. Moreover, Murphy’s son Eric just proposed to Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, and following their engagement, the two comedy stars will now be in-laws. “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter,” Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence captioned an Instagram post announcing their engagement. The two started dating back in 2021, and their parents have had a lot to say about their relationship and its development.

“That’s not how it goes,” Eddie Murphy joked in response to Martin Lawrence saying that Murphy should cover their kids’ wedding costs, which was certainly not his idea. “My daughter just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay. You have to do the same, Martin. Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no s**t, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”

“They’re both beautiful; they look amazing together,” Eddie Murphy had also expressed concerning the relationship between his son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter. “If they ever get married and have a child, I am expecting the child to be funny.” Considering that Eric and Jasmin come from a pretty legendary comedic legacy, then we would also expect the same of their child. But let’s not box the little one in just yet or limit how Eric and Jasmin feel, for that matter. This is a very exciting time for everyone involved, and the future will hold so many more special moments.

Meanwhile, while Eddie Murphy might make a return to the Shrek series, Martin Lawrence recently revealed his GOAT rapper. “I would have to say Snoop Dogg for me,” he shared during his appearance alongside Will Smith on the “GOAT TALK” YouTube series from Complex. “Because Snoop’s always come through for me. He’s done my show and has always been excellent. And he’s a good friend of mine.” Congrats to Eric and Jasmin!

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are undeniably two of the biggest names in comedy. As it turns out, their families might become intertwined in the near future, and if that’s the case, the former specifically expects the latter to pay for the wedding ceremony.

The duo’s children, Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy have been publicly dating since June 2021. As it turns out, their parents aren’t the ones who first introduced them. According to PEOPLE, they previously “became really good friends because we bonded on a lot of things.”

The fact that they both grew up in Hollywood allowed the young couple to better “[understand] each other.” Additionally, Jasmin and Eric are both the firstborn children of their fathers.

Martin shares his daughter with his ex-wife, Patricia Southall. The German-born actor is also a father to 20-year-old Amara and 22-year-old Iyanna. As for Murphy, his aforementioned son is the eldest of 10. Eric’s mother is The Haunted Mansion‘s ex, Paulette McNeely.

Last summer, Jasmin’s dad joked about having his Life co-star pay for their kid’s wedding during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Recently, Murphy responded to his friend’s comments, playfully teasing, “That’s not how it goes.”

“My daughter just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay,” the 61-year-old explained. “You have to do the same, Martin. “Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no shit, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”

Besides planning a wedding, Eddie Murphy may also be back on a film set in the near future.
