Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are about to be in-laws! Eddie Murphy’s son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter are engaged, officially on the way to joining the families of two comedy legends.
Eric Murphy, Eddie Murphy’s son, proposed to Jasmin Lawrence over the weekend, an epic moment captured in a video shared to Instagram. The emotional post is already making waves online, with many celebrating the love of the two comedy legends. In celebration of the epic engagement, we’re looking back on what we know about their relationship so far.
Beginnings
While it is still undisclosed exactly when the two children of the comedy stars started dating, they first posted about their relationship in 2021, as People Magazine reported. Jasmin shared an Instagram post for Murphy’s birthday, writing at the time, “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side.”
Eric Murphy posted on his account that year for her as well, writing, “Head over heels in LOVE with YOU,” with hashtags like, #myotherhalf,” “#equallyyoked,” and “#iloveyou.”
Martin Confirms Their Relationship
In 2022, Martin Lawrence opened up to Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about their relationship. At the time, he said he hadn’t talked to Eddie about it, and that they both were “letting them do their own thing” and “staying out of their business.”
Lawrence did quip during the interview that he would “try and get Eddie to pay” for their wedding if they were to get married. See the cheeky moment below.
Eddie Murphy Expects a “Funny” Potential Grandchild
Eddie Murphy also opened up about their relationship in an interview, as The Root previously reported. Much like Lawrence, the “Boomerang” star shared his support for his child’s newfound love. Talking to CBS Mornings earlier this year, Murphy explained, “They’re both beautiful, they look amazing together — and it’s funny, everybody’s like, ‘What, is that baby gonna be funny?’”
He added, “If they ever get married and have a child, I am expecting the child to be funny.”
A Stunning Proposal
The beautiful proposal was shared over the weekend, with both Eric and Jasmin taking to their Instagram accounts to share their love with the world. With “Spend My Life with You” by Eric Benét playing in the background, the two are seen celebrating their big moment in front of a lavish set up with candles and rose petals on the floor.
