Eddie Murphy Reveals His Son and Martin Lawrence’s Daughter Got Married in Private

Eddie Murphy just dropped a surprise family update, and it’s the kind of unexpected news that still manages to feel totally on brand for Hollywood royalty.

During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Murphy casually revealed that his son, Eric Murphy, and Martin Lawrence’s daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, are officially husband and wife. Yep, two of Black Hollywood’s comedy kings are now in-laws—and apparently, this wedding didn’t come with the red carpet rollout you’d expect.

“They got married like two weeks ago,” Eddie told Jennifer Hudson. “They went off. Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.”

According to the comedy icon, the couple decided to ditch the fanfare and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with just a preacher and themselves present. “They had a little quiet, little thing,” he added. “So now Martin don’t got to pay for a big ass wedding!”

But don’t rule out a bigger celebration down the line. Eddie hinted that a party could still be in the works.

Fans of the famous families may remember when Eric and Jasmin first went public with their relationship back in 2021. At the time, it felt like a perfect match—two kids of comedy legends finding love with each other. And now, here we are.

Congrats to the newlyweds, and shoutout to the Murphy and Lawrence families for giving us a crossover we didn’t know we needed.

Love really does run in the family.
