Here's what we know about Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter's relationship.

According to In Touch Weekly, Jasmin Murphy and Eric Lawrence were not introduced by their famous parents.

Jasmin gave an interview to the outlet in 2022 and said that despite Eddie and Martin doing two movies together, she met Eric through her uncle. Jasmine also noted that after the two met, she and Eric became friends before dating. The duo began dating in 2021.

"My uncle actually introduced us," she said. "It wasn't even our dad's, and they've done two movies together. They're friends, like, I don't even know. It's crazy, but um, we met through my uncle, and, you know, we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things, obviously. We have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level, and over time it just you know became more."

Eric got down on one knee and proposed.

During an appearance on CBS Mornings, Eddie spoke about Eric and Jasmin's relationship.

"I'm expecting the child, if they ever get married and have a child, I'm expecting the child to be funny," he joked.

While talking with Jennifer Hudson on her show, Eddie added that the newlyweds may have a big celebration later on.

“They just had the two of them and the preacher," he said. "They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have a big party or something."

In December of 2024, Martin joked that Eddie told him he would have to pay for the wedding.

"Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," said Martin HeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood. "He said I gotta pay for it 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding, like the last six weddings ... He said it's my turn now."

Since the duo already got hitched, maybe Martin can pay for the party instead.

The new in-laws have been in two movies together — the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang and Life in 1999.
