'Beverly Hills Cop 4': Eddie Murphy is back with a badge in 'Axel F'

No joke: Two of the funniest actors in Hollywood are officially in-laws.
Eddie Murphy confirmed during a May 29 appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" that his son, Eric Murphy, has married Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Lawrence. Murphy said the couple opted against a large wedding and instead tied the knot quietly.
"They got married like two weeks ago," he revealed in a clip shared by Entertainment Weekly. "Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.
"They went off and they got married at the church," he went on to add. "They just had the two of them and the preacher."
Though the pair skipped a large wedding, Murphy said there will likely be a "big party" to celebrate the union. He noted that he and Martin Lawrence, who co-starred in the films "Life" and "Boomerang," are "in-laws" and joked the "Bad Boys" actor doesn't have "to pay for the big wedding now."
Eddie Murphy's son is marrying Martin Lawrence's daughter: 'A love that feels like destiny'
Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy confirmed their relationship in 2021. In 2022, Lawrence told InTouch that they met through her uncle, not their famous parents.
"It wasn't even our dads, and they've done two movies together," she told the outlet. "They're friends. I don't even know. It's crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level."
The pair confirmed their engagement in November by sharing a romantic video on Instagram showing Murphy getting down on one knee in a room filled with candles.
"We're engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter," Lawrence wrote on Instagram at the time.
