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

'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!

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence become in-laws as their kids get married
Eddie Murphy has revealed that his son has married Martin Lawrence's daughter, officially making the comedy stars in-laws. Back in November, film fans were left shocked upon the revelation that the Hollywood stars' children, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, were set to tie the knot.

Murphy said that the couple ditched 'the big wedding plans' after deciding 'they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them'. He joked that his fellow-in-law Martin, with whom he co-starred in comedies Boomerang (1992) and Life (1999), 'doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now'. The Nutty Professor and Coming to America actor was hinting at previous interviews, in which Martin claimed: 'Eddie said I gotta pay for it'. In December. Martin said Eddie instructed him to cough up because 'he paid for his last daughter's wedding' and 'said it's my turn now.' Eric, 35, is the eldest of Eddie's 10 children, the most recent of whom was born in 2018. Jasmin, 28, is also the eldest child of Lawrence. In 2022, Jasmin revealed that it was her uncle who introduced her husband-to-be, but 'It wasn't even our dads – and they've done two movies together,' she told InTouch. '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.' Fans have been left overjoyed by the news, with one calling the marriage 'a special union between two iconic families'. Another added: 'Wow. Their grandchildren are gonna be the most lit kids ever. Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are your grandparents. Congratulations. You won the life lottery.' An additional fan echoed this point, writing on X/Twitter: 'They have the chance to make the funniest human of all time.' 'Thanksgiving must be the most hilarious reunion ever,' another user said, while someone else chimed in: 'I know them family holidays go crazy.' Eddie's appearance on Hudson's US talk show marked the first time the pair have seen each other since she won Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 2006 musical Dreamgirls, which Eddie also starred in.
