Two Comedy Icons, One Wedding: Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence Are Now In-Laws
New York: It’s official — Eric Murphy, son of Coming to America star Eddie Murphy, and Jasmin Lawrence, daughter of Bad Boys legend Martin Lawrence, are now husband and wife. In what feels like the perfect blend of Hollywood romance and family legacy, the two quietly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony, turning two of the most beloved comedians of all time into in-laws.
The couple had been together since 2021 and announced their engagement in November 2024. Fans were anticipating a big, star-studded wedding, but the couple surprised everyone by opting for a low-key church wedding attended only by the two of them and their preacher.
From Hollywood Royalty to Real-Life Romance
Eric Murphy is Eddie’s eldest son, while Jasmin is Martin’s oldest daughter. Both have grown up in the public eye but managed to keep their relationship deeply private — something rare in the age of social media.
They first made headlines as a couple in 2021, and over the years, their chemistry has warmed fans’ hearts. With Eric pursuing screenwriting and voice work and Jasmin venturing into acting and brand collaborations, the duo has carved out their own paths — yet never shied away from honoring their family legacies.
Eddie and Martin: From Co-Stars to Co-Fathers-in-Law
What makes this story even more special? The fact that Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence go way back. The two starred together in the cult classic Life (1999) and have been longtime friends and collaborators. Now, their real-life families are officially connected.
During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Eddie Murphy joked that Martin owes him a thank-you — because the private wedding means “he didn’t have to pay for a big one.”
It’s classic Eddie — but also a reflection of just how real this bond is. Two comedy kings, now family.
