The Murphys and Lawrences join forces.

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, two icons of Black comedy, have often crossed paths in their illustrious careers. Now, their connection is about to become even more personal. Murphy’s son Eric recently proposed to Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, solidifying their families’ bond through marriage. Sharing the joyful news on Instagram, the couple 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.” The couple, who began dating in 2021, have been open about their love, while their famous fathers have also shared humorous takes on the blossoming relationship.

Eddie Murphy didn’t hold back his thoughts when Martin Lawrence jokingly suggested that Murphy should foot the wedding bill. “That’s not how it goes,” Murphy quipped. “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 do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”
