Eddie Murphy reveals his son and Martin Lawrence's daughter are officially married: 'We're in-laws'
Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter have made it official: Eric and Jasmin are married and their famous dads are now in-laws. "Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago," Murphy tells his Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson on Thursday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. (See the conversation in the clip below.) "They went off.... Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Murphy confirmed that he and Lawrence, his costar in projects such as Boomerang and Life, are now related by marriage. "Yeah, we're in-laws," he said. "And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now." The Coming to America star, who's a father of 10, had famously planned to have Lawrence pick up the tab on Eric and Jasmin's nuptials. (Lawrence is the father of three daughters.) "Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," Lawrence said in December 2024 on iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eric and Jasmin began dating in 2021, and they announced their engagement in November 2024. When Hudson asked whether Murphy had sung at the wedding, the "Party All the Time" artist shut her down. "No, they didn't have a wedding. They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher," Murphy said. "They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have like a big party or something." So will Murphy sing at the celebration? He joked that he and Lawrence might do a also hoping for a more professional reunion with the Bad Boys franchise star. "There's a bunch of ideas that we have," he said. "There's one thing: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a movie from the ʼ60s. I want to remake it and do with all the funniest, like a who's who of Black comedy. That's what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

One day before The Nutty Professor star confirmed his son Eric Murphy and Martin's daughter Jasmin Lawrence tied the knot, the Bad Boys alum had nothing but positive things to say about his son-in-law. 'He's a great young man,' Martin told Jennifer Hudson of Eric on the May 28 episode of her daytime talk show, cheekily noting that a wedding 'might be a good idea.' Indeed, while Martin did not go so far to confirm his daughter's nuptials, he did allude to just how involved he and Eddie had been in their romance. 'I think we are both protective,' he explained. 'We want the best for our children. We let them do their own thing and make their choices and stay out of their business and let them find their way.' A day later, Eddie shared that their kids' latest choice involved eloping rather than hosting a big wedding following their 2024 engagement. More from E!

"I'ma die because things are going to hell" - Dennis Rodman on why he locked himself in the house for a month after the Pistons broke up
Dennis Rodman's exit from the Detroit Pistons was a deep emotional rupture that nearly swallowed him whole. This was the man who bled for the "Bad Boys," crashing the glass and taking charges like his soul depended on it. He had two championships and the Defensive Player of the Year award, yet by the early 1990s, everything had unraveled. "The Worm" had lost his team and identity. Rodman's retreat After head coach Chuck Daly, whom the 6'7" forward considered a father figure, resigned after the 1991–92 season, that exit hit hard. Rodman retreated inward. For nearly a month, he locked himself inside his house. There was no press, no phone, just silence and the chaos in his mind. He had his reasons. Advertisement "Just trying to figure out what direction I was going," he said. "It wasn't a death wish for me, of course. I'm a die because things are going to hell, no. It was more like trying to get things together, pretty much." The Pistons dynasty that terrorized the league from 1988 to 1991 had cracked open. The bruising battles with Jordan's Bulls, the grindhouse mentality that defined the Daly era, and the brotherhood forged in sweat and blood disintegrated in real time. Rodman's world tilted, and with no roadmap, he shut down. His anchor, Coach Daly, was gone. The Pistons were no longer a contender, finishing the 1992–93 season with a 40–42 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1983. Off the court, things were no better. His marriage to Annie Bakes, the mother of his daughter Alexis, had collapsed, adding another layer of pain to an already volatile emotional state. Advertisement Rodman wasn't speaking to many people. He missed training camp. His rebounding numbers were still elite; he averaged 18.3 boards that year, but the fire inside him had dimmed. By February 1993, the darkness was overwhelming. One night, he drove to the Palace of Auburn Hills with a loaded rifle in his truck. He sat there in the silence of the parking lot, wrestling with himself. The story, which he later shared in "Bad As I Wanna Be," doesn't end with tragedy but with a quiet turning point. He fell asleep in the truck. Police, acting on a welfare check requested by a friend, found him there. He didn't pull the trigger. He woke up. And something shifted. Related: Andrei Kirilenko was ready to sacrifice millions to escape the Jazz in 2007: "I don't want to enjoy something that I don't deserve" Moving out By the 1993-94 season, Rodman was no longer in Detroit. He had been traded to the San Antonio Spurs, a franchise worlds away in culture and chemistry. The Spurs weren't the rough-and-tumble Pistons. They were calm, disciplined, built around the quiet dominance of franchise cornerstone David Robinson. Advertisement But Rodman wasn't looking to fit in. He was trying to stay alive. "I am going to persevere in the city or go somewhere else," he said, reflecting on that moment of change. Rodman was now fully in the power forward role, and on the hardwood, he went ballistic. He averaged 17.3 rebounds per game, his third consecutive rebounding title and earned another NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. He wasn't trying to return to the man he used to be in Detroit. He was becoming someone entirely different. Off the court, his eccentricity exploded — technicolor hair, on-court antics, late-night club runs. San Antonio gave "The Worm" space to evolve or combust, depending on the night. The Spurs made the playoffs that season, and Rodman, despite the friction with coaches and media, made his presence undeniable.
