Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence Become In-Laws

Eddie Murphy has confirmed that his son, Eric Murphy, and Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, were married in a private church ceremony about two weeks ago, attended only by the couple and a preacher. The couple, who began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement in November 2024, opted for an intimate event instead of the grand wedding their families had discussed. Both Murphy and Lawrence humorously commented on the wedding expenses, with Murphy noting that the private ceremony spared Lawrence from a significant cost. Murphy also indicated that a larger celebration with family and friends may be planned for the future. The marriage cements not only a family bond but also the friendship and professional relationship between Murphy and Lawrence, who have previously starred together in films like 'Boomerang' and 'Life.' The announcement was made during Murphy's appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
