Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrenceâs children are officially partners for life.Â
Eric Murphyâwho Eddie shares with ex Paulette McNeelyâand Jasmin Lawrence, Martinâs daughter with ex-wife Patricia Southall, privately tied the knot nearly “two weeks ago,” the Dreamgirls alum revealed May 29.
“They went offâeverybody was making their big wedding plans,” Eddie explained during a preview of his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, “and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.”
Eddie also joked that Martin doesn’t have to “pay for the wedding now.”
The coupleâs low-key ceremony follows their candlelit proposal in November 2024. For that special occasion, Eric, 35, got down on one knee in front of Jasmin, 29, in a room decorated with candles, white roses and a giant red heart.Â
The eldest of Martinâs three children shared the engagement news in a Nov. 30 Instagram post, writing, âGod truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldnât be more excited for this next chapter. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so magical.â
Eric and Jasmin first announced they were dating on Instagram in July 2021. At the time, Jasmin posted a picture of her and Eric, writing, âHappy birthday, my love! Iâm so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side.â
But she wasnât the only one feeling the love as Eric also shared a glimpse into their romance alongside a selfie, writing, âHead over heels in LOVE with YOU @jasmin_lawerence.â He used a slew of adoring hashtags, including âmy other half,â âequally yokedâ and âI love you.â
Nearly three years later, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Los Angeles premiere for Eddieâs new film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, a sequel to the popular â80s movie franchise. Eric was involved in the film alongside his father, recording automated dialogue replacement (ADR) for the project.
This, of course, is not the first time their families have collaborated on a project. In fact, their dads have a storied friendship, starring in the 1992 film Boomerang and the 1999 comedy Life together.
