Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence’s Kids Are Married

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 tributecalling him “my love,” adding, “I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side.”
