Comedy royalty: Eddie Murphy’s son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter, set to marry!
Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy Are Engaged — A Love Story Born in Hollywood. Jasmin Lawrence (28), daughter of Martin Lawrence, and Eric Murphy (35), son of Eddie Murphy, are officially engaged! The couple announced their engagement on November 27, 2024, with Jasmin sharing the joyful news on Instagram:
“11.27.2024 We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny.” The proposal looked straight out of a fairytale—hundreds of flickering candles, white rose petals forming an aisle, a glowing orange heart at the center, and soft live guitar music in the background. In a touching video, Eric leads Jasmin hand-in-hand through the romantic setup before getting down on one knee and presenting a stunning engagement ring.
Jasmin’s emotional “yes” was followed by a kiss and a warm embrace. A Relationship Built on Friendship and Shared Roots
Together for over three years, the couple first went public in 2021. Surprisingly, their connection didn’t begin through their famous fathers, but rather through Jasmin’s uncle. In an interview, Jasmin shared, “We became really good friends and bonded over so many things. He’s my best friend. We laugh a lot and love spending time together.”
Both Jasmin and Eric have spoken about how their similar upbringings in the entertainment world helped them connect. “There are certain things I don’t even have to explain—he just gets it,” Jasmin added.
Comedy Royalty Meets a Future Together. While Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy have shared the screen and a friendship for decades, they’ve kept their children’s relationship private. In a 2022 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Martin joked about a potential “comedy super baby” and laughed about who would pay for the wedding.
A New Chapter Full of Love and Laughter. As Jasmin and Eric prepare for marriage, their families and fans are thrilled. With a foundation built on friendship, humor, and love—and guided by the legacy of their iconic parents—the couple is ready to write their own story. Congratulations to the happy couple as they step into a beautiful new chapter together!
