Jennifer Hudson Seemingly Didn't Listen To A Word Eddie Murphy Said In A Recent Interview, And People Are Aghast
On Thursday, Eddie Murphy revealed that his son Eric had secretly married Martin Lawrence's daughter Jasmin after four years of dating. For reference, Eddie and Martin are good friends and even starred in two movies together back in the '90s, but Jasmin previously said that she didn't meet her now-husband through their famous fathers. She told InTouch Weekly back in 2022: '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." 'Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level, and, over time, it just became more,' she added at the time. The two got engaged in November 2024, and during his recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Eddie revealed that the lovebirds had blindsided them all by sneaking off to get married in private.

Alluding to Eddie's talent as a singer, Jennifer started off by asking: 'Are you going to sing at your son's… Or is it your daughter's wedding, right?' Clarifying that it was, in fact, his son, Eddie replied: 'Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago. They went off. Everybody was making the big wedding plans, then they decided they wanted to do something quiet, just the two of them, and they got married.'

Eddie explained again, to which Jennifer replied: 'Oh no?' 'No, they went off and got married in the church; they just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing,' Eddie repeated, before adding: 'I think we'll have a big party or something, they ran off and got married.' 'OK,' Jennifer said. 'Will you sing then?' 'Will I sing at the wedding?! No!' Eddie then exclaimed. Sharing a video of this exchange to X, a viral tweet called out Jennifer's interviewing skills, writing: 'The man said they went off just the two of them went off and got married, she's gonna then ask him 'did you sing at the wedding'. Baby, pay attention omg.' Fox via X @TheShadeRoom / Via At the time of writing, this tweet has been seen more than two million times, and racked up tens of thousands of likes, retweets, and replies. And one of the most popular replies reads: 'she doesn't listen to a single thing people say.' 'Girl ain't listening to even one word!! She has her marks to hit and she gone hit them,' somebody else wrote. While another tweeted: 'She asked him THREE times are you going to sing. WOMAN THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED MY GOD.' 'You can really tell she has a list of questions and is not listening to people's answers,' one more claimed, and someone else agreed: 'That's the difference between a journalist and a celebrity with a talk show.' Others had a similar reaction to the original video, with one writing: 'he said multiple times they didnt have a wedding and she keeps askin if he went 😂' 'she didnt pay not nah attention to what he said asking stupid questions after the man JUST said they eloped,' someone else echoed.

Eddie Murphy Reveals Son And Martin Lawrence's Daughter Ditched Big Wedding Plans
Eddie Murphy is over the moon about the nuptials of his son, Eric Murphy, to Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Page. The "Beverly Hills Cop" star revealed that their kids skipped the lavish wedding plans and quietly got married in a small church ceremony. The unexpected reveal comes months after Martin joked in an interview that Eddie had handed him the wedding bill. Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter made their relationship public in 2021 before getting engaged in 2024. The comedy legend revealed the news during his debut appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, sharing that the couple got married "about two weeks ago" with no guests, just the two of them and a preacher. "They went off and got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing," Eddie said. He noted that the newlyweds may still host a celebration later, but for now, they are officially married with zero fanfare. "I think we'll have a big party or something," he added. Eddie joked that Martin is off the hook financially, saying, "Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Confirming that now, his friend does not have to foot a big wedding bill, per PEOPLE. Martin is footing the bill for his daughter's wedding because, according to Eddie, it is only fair. Though both stars are multimillionaires, Martin revealed late last year that the groom's told him it was his turn to cover the wedding costs. The two comedy legends became in-laws after their kids, Jasmin and Eric, tied the knot in a quiet ceremony earlier this year. Speaking on Big Boy's "Neighborhood" in December 2024, the actor said Eddie had a pretty straightforward reason for passing the financial baton. "Eddie said I gotta pay for it. 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," Martin shared. As Men's Journal highlighted, the cost-sharing tradition typically falls to the bride's side of the family, though it is rarely enforced these days. Still, Martin was not bothered. "I don't mind," he noted. Before Martin joked about being stuck with the wedding bill, Eric and Jasmin were already celebrating a love story that looked straight out of a movie. The couple announced their engagement in late November 2024 with a heartfelt Instagram video that showed off the intimate moment. Per the clip, Eric filled a room with candles, roses, and petals scattered across the floor before getting down on one knee. Set to Eric Benét's romantic hit "Spend My Life with You," the video captured Jasmin's emotional reaction as she walked into the room, stunned by the setup. After Eric opened the ring box, Jasmin gasped, "It's beautiful. Oh my gosh," before saying yes and sealing the moment with a kiss. In the caption, the couple wrote, "11.27.2024. 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!!" Turns out, it was not Murphy or Lawrence who played matchmaker for their kids. The 60-year-old's daughter shared that her relationship with Murphy's oldest son, did not start through their comedy legend fathers despite the two having starred in movies together and being longtime friends. "It wasn't even our dads," she said, adding that it was actually her uncle who introduced them. She and Eric first connected as friends. "We bonded on a lot of things. And over time, it just, you know, became more," Jasmin explained. By June 2021, the couple went public with their relationship. Eric posted a set of photos on Instagram with the caption, "Head over heels in LOVE with YOU." Jasmin followed with a birthday tribute calling him "my love," adding, "I'm so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side." Murphy's home life might look a lot different from the image many have of the comedy icon, and he does not seem to mind one bit. As The Blast reported, Butcher Murphy appears to hold most of the control in their marriage, even assigning household chores to the star. A source close to the couple shared that the 64-year-old "let her rule," and their arrangement seemed to be working for both of them. However, the dynamic reportedly raised some eyebrows among Murphy's longtime friends, who, according to the insider, joked that the father-of-ten had turned into a "yes man" behind closed doors. "Nobody ever thought they'd see him be a 'yes' man, but it's happened. It's a head-scratcher for his pals, but as long as Eddie's happy, they are happy," they added. With the wedding behind them and the bill settled, it looks like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's families are officially bonded; no big ceremony is needed.
