They’ll be doing LIFE together now!
Eddie Murphy’s son, Eric Murphy, just got engaged to Martin Lawrence’s daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, over the holiday week, People reports. The two have been dating publicly since 2021, and Eric and Jasmin openly show their affection for one another. While both are the children of comedic icons who have been longtime friends and even starred in films together, they previously revealed that they weren’t introduced through their fathers.
“It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together, they’re friends,” Jasmin previously told reporters.
She revealed that the two met through her uncle, which just blossomed into a solid and loving relationship.
“We became really good friends because we bonded on a lot of things. And over time, it just, you know, became more,” she added.
The union has gotten the approval of the patriarchs, Murphy and Lawrence, who have seemingly stayed out of their children’s affairs as the two navigate their own love story.
“We haven’t talked about it. We kind of just stay out of their business and let them do their own thing and respect their thing,” Lawrence told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022. Still, the legend joked that if the two decided to marry, the wedding would be on Murphy.
“I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it,” Lawrence told Kimmel.
But of course, Murphy wasn’t having it. He remarked that he had just footed the bill for his daughter Bria and reminded Lawrence that it was tradition for the father of the bride to pay.
“That’s not how it goes. My daughter [Bria] 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 change no s—, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying,” Murphy told reporters.
Well, it seems the day has finally come. Eric and Jasmin took to social media to announce their engagement over the holiday week. On Wednesday, November 27th, Eric got down on one knee to propose to Jasmin, surrounded by candles and rose bouquets, in a room covered with flower petals, a floor-size red heart serving as the backdrop. Jasmin can be seen being entirely shocked as she walks into the room. Eric then guides her to the front before he gets down on one knee. Jasmin let out a resounding “yes” before the couple embraced and shared a kiss.
“It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh. Yes. I’m engaged!” she says.
The two shared a recap video of the proposal set to “Spend My Life with You” by Eric Benét. They thanked everyone who made the day possible and expressed their excitement about spending their lives together.
“We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter,” they captioned the video.
