Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, two of the most iconic comedy legends ever, are about to become in-laws. That’s right—Eric Murphy, Eddie’s 34-year-old son, has put a ring on Jasmin Lawrence’s finger, officially upgrading their relationship status to “comedically iconic.”
The Proposal Heard ‘Round Hollywood
Eric, the proud heir to the Murphy laugh legacy, decided to lock it down with Jasmin, Martin’s dazzling daughter, and the world collectively swooned. The big moment went down on November 27, 2024—mark it in your calendar, because this is the day two comedic dynasties united.
Jasmin shared the news on Instagram with a caption so sweet, it might give you a toothache:
“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!!”
Translation: They’re cute, in love, and ready to make us all feel single. Oh, and there’s a dreamy proposal video you need to see—check it out HERE (or prepare to cry into your popcorn if you don’t have a boo).
A Love Story 3 Years in the Making
Eric and Jasmin have been serving up relationship goals since they went Instagram official back in July 2021. You know, the era of banana bread and Tiger King? Jasmin kicked it off with an adorable birthday post for Eric, making it clear these two were in it for the long haul.
Fast forward three years, and here we are—smack dab in the middle of a real-life rom-com. Someone call Netflix.
Dads React: Eddie & Martin’s Comedy Crossover
Earlier this year, Eddie Murphy spilled some tea about what it’s like having his son date Martin Lawrence’s daughter. We’re still waiting on Martin’s take, but if he’s anything like his movie roles, we’re imagining a mix of Bad Boys intensity and Big Momma sass.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this future family dynamic? Picture Thanksgiving: Eddie cracking jokes about the turkey, Martin narrating the mashed potatoes’ journey to the table, and Eric and Jasmin just rolling their eyes. Iconic.
Congrats to the Future Mr. & Mrs. Murphy-Lawrence
So here’s to Eric and Jasmin—may their love be as strong as their dads’ box-office records and their family gatherings as legendary as a stand-up special. The bar for Hollywood couple goals has officially been raised.
P.S. We’re already waiting for the sitcom.
