Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy are preparing to get married, which will make Martin Lawrence (Jasmin’s father) and Eddie Murphy (Eric’s father) family by marriage.

64-year-old “Saturday Night Live” veteran Murphy revealed during an interview on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” airing Thursday, that he and his son Eric, as well as Lawrence (his partner) and Jasmin (Lawrence’s daughter), had a surprise, low-key wedding after they got engaged last fall. The families had initially planned for a grand wedding, but the couple decided to get married without much fanfare instead.

He confirmed they were family by marriage, adding that since Joe Lawrence, known for his role in “Bad Boys,” is a part of their family now, there’s no need for him to cover the costs of a grand wedding.

Murphy shared that the couple tied the knot approximately two weeks back. Originally, everyone was preparing for a grand wedding, but they opted for a more intimate ceremony instead, just the two of them.

Instead of having a traditional wedding, they chose to get married quietly at the church, with only the bride, groom, and the preacher present.

Eddie Murphy has a new baby on the way, and this kiddo will be his 10th child.

Murphy anticipates that the recently combined family will host a grand gathering to commemorate the event in the near future.

35-year-old Eric Murphy popped the question to Jasmin Lawrence, 29, last November at an intimate gathering boasting top-notch production quality. Hundreds of candles illuminated the space, soft lighting created a romantic ambiance, and petals strewn across the floor added to the charm. Behind them shone a radiant orange heart serving as the backdrop. The duo made their relationship Instagram official in June 2021.

She announced their engagement, expressing her gratitude to the heavens for the profound love they share which seems meant-to-be. Overjoyed about this new journey, she expressed her excitement and also thanked all those who made the occasion enchanting!

Jasmin Lawrence is the oldest child of Martin Lawrence, stemming from his first marriage with Patricia Southall. She has two younger siblings, Iyana and Amara, who were born during his subsequent marriage to Shamicka Gibbs, which concluded in 2012.

Actor-comedian Martin Lawrence is about to give marriage another shot.

Eric Murphy is the eldest child among Eddie Murphy’s 10 kids. His mother is Paulette McNeely. Besides him, the comedian also has three sons and six daughters from four different women, one of them being his current wife, model Paige Butcher, who is the mother of two children as well.

The joke made by Eddie Murphy about Lawrence not covering the wedding expenses stems from an earlier instance when Lawrence playfully suggested on Jimmy Kimmel’s show in 2022 that their children could potentially produce a “comedy super-baby” and jokingly said, “I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it.

Approximately a year later, Murphy quipped in response on Canadian television, “Should it fail, Martin will foot the bill. The wedding had better be spectacular.

We bet it was.
