Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's children said "I Do" without their parents present at the wedding.
Murphy appeared on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" and confirmed that his son, Eric Murphy and Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Page Lawrence, tied the knot in a private ceremony.
Hudson asked him if he was going to sing at his son's wedding and that's when he revealed the news.
"Actually they got married like two weeks ago, they went off. Everybody was making big wedding plans and they decided they want to do something quiet with just the two of them and they got married," he revealed.
The host interjected, adding that the Murphy's and Lawrence's are now in-laws.
Murphy jokingly added: "We are now in-laws. He (Martin Lawrence) doesn't have to pay for the big wedding now."
The comedian also shared that it was only the newlyweds as well as the preacher that officiated the marriage.
Eric and Jasmin went public with their relationship in 2021 and after dating for more than three years, Eric proposed to Jasmin in November 2024.
The couple shared their joyful announcement in a heartwarming video posted on Instagram.
"We're engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful," they captioned the joint post.
In an interview with "InTouch Weekly" in 2022, a year after they publicised their relationship Jasmin shared how she and Eric met.
She revealed, "My uncle actually introduced us, it wasn't even our dads. And they've done two movies together. They're friends. I don't even know, it's crazy, but we met through my uncle and, you know, we became really good friends.

Africa Day celebration focuses on culture
Acting, singing and dancing were showcased at Tolomane Mnyayiza Youth Development Centre's Africa Day celebration in Boboyi on Monday this week. The assistant director of regional communication of the Government Communication Information System, Khanyiso Seyisi, said the department joined in because the institution focuses on upskilling students, especially the youth. Also, he added the event embraced the culture and the resilience of Africans who are known for their strength. 'We want the youth to walk in the footsteps of our forefathers and to carry our culture and beliefs, and link those with our current lifestyle.' A student at the centre, Nkazimulo Gcaba, said that they had planned a lot of activities. 'We want to showcase our history. Africa Day reminds us and teaches us to appreciate what our leaders fought for.' Another student, Minenhle Mbuyeleni, said that for the youth, the day was enlightening, as it also showed where they come from as Africans. 'It reminds us that we are important. It's also a huge opportunity for the youth because we are exposed to things that we didn't know about.' Mbuyeleni who is studying to be a professional cook said it's her dream job. 'One day, I will open my own restaurant and I will have a story to tell.'

Thailand's Opal Suchata Chuangsri crowned Miss World
Thailand is celebrating a historic first. Opal Suchata Chuangsri has been crowned Miss World 2025, dazzling a global audience in Hyderabad, India. This marks Thailand's maiden win at the iconic beauty pageant, now in its 72nd year. Opal, just 22, outshone 107 other contestants from around the world and received her crown from outgoing queen Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic. The grand event, hosted at the HITEX Exhibition Centre, was a spectacle of colour, music, and culture. Bollywood stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Ishaan Khatter added even more sparkle to the night, according to New Indian Express. Opal's victory is a moment of pride for Southeast Asia and a story of hope for young women everywhere. 'After waiting 72 years for our first crown, it's an incredible honour to bring it home,' Opal said. 'I now have the opportunity as Miss World to travel and support important projects around the world. I'm excited to make an impact'. As the field narrowed to the final two, Opal felt a strange calm. 'It was the most intense moment, yet I felt calm. I knew my people were proud of me for reaching that far. It felt like a dream,' she recalled. Opal's gown became a talking point of the evening, as she wore a delicate white dress adorned with opal-like florals. These symbolise both healing and strength. 'The shimmering white fabric and delicate opal-like florals reflect women who choose hope over fear,' Opal explained on Instagram. 'Just like the opal, I shine in my light. Her 'Opal For HER' campaign, which inspired the gown, champions women's resilience and transformation. The Swarovski crystals on her dress, she said, 'sparkle like the inner light that guides us through darkness'. As Miss World, Opal plans to focus on causes close to her heart, including breast cancer awareness. 'If you believe in your purpose, you're already extraordinary,' she told reporters. India, the host nation, had pinned its hopes on Nandini Gupta. She made it to the Top 40 but missed out on the final eight. The disappointment was palpable, but the event itself was a showcase of unity and global talent. Opal's win is a reminder that with hope, compassion, and self-belief, anything is possible. As she put it, 'The soft flare mirrors the ripple effect of compassion—how one heart can awaken many'. The new Miss World will now embark on a year-long journey, supporting humanitarian projects and inspiring a new generation of women. Her message is clear: shine in your light, and never stop dreaming. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
