Eddie Murphy’s son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter have gotten married.
During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday, Eddie revealed his son, Eric Murphy, and Martin’s daughter, Jasmin, tied the knot around “two weeks ago.”
“They went off, everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them,” the Beverly Hills Cop actor said. “We’re in-laws,” he added about his new relationship with Martin.
Fans were stunned when the couple announced their engagement back in November 2024, and quickly joked about how entertaining their family gatherings would be. Their fathers first starred alongside each other in the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang, before appearing together again in 1999’s Life. They’re rumored to be teaming up again for a remake of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
While it has not been revealed when the couple first started dating, they first went public with their relationship back in June 2021. Here is a timeline of their romance over the last few years.
