Share on FacebookJasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy, children of comedy legends Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy, are making headlines—and this time, it's not about their famous dads. The couple, who found love in their shared experiences growing up in Hollywood, announced their engagement on November 27, delighting fans and family alike.
A Proposal Straight Out of a Dream
Jasmin, 28, shared the exciting news on Instagram, captioning her post, “11.27.2024 We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny.”
The post included a glimpse into the magical proposal. The scene was breathtaking—hundreds of candles flickered as white rose petals lined the aisle, leading to a glowing orange heart at the center. Live guitar music added a romantic touch, creating an unforgettable moment.
In the video, Eric, 35, led Jasmin hand-in-hand down the candlelit aisle. When they reached the centerpiece, Eric dropped to one knee and presented Jasmin with a stunning engagement ring. Her answer? A resounding yes, followed by a sweet kiss and an emotional embrace.
Jasmin couldn’t contain her joy, later writing, “We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤❤ Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!”
A Love Story Years in the Making
The couple has been together for over three years and first went public with their relationship in 2021 when Eric shared a photo of them on social media.
But their connection didn’t come from their famous fathers. Surprisingly, it was Jasmin’s uncle who introduced the pair. In a 2022 interview, Jasmin revealed how their relationship blossomed: “We became really good friends and bonded over so many things. He’s my best friend. We laugh together—a lot—and just love each other’s company.”
Both Jasmin and Eric credit their shared backgrounds for their strong connection. “There are certain things I don’t even have to explain—he just gets it,” Jasmin shared.
Comedy Royalty Meets Wedding Bells
While Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have been friends for decades, sharing the screen in films like Life (1999), they’ve stayed out of their children’s relationship.
On an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2022, Martin joked about the possibility of a “comedy super baby” and laughed off suggestions that Eddie should foot the wedding bill.
A Future Full of Love and Laughter
As Jasmin and Eric prepare for their next chapter, their families couldn’t be happier.
With their parents’ humor and wisdom as a foundation, the couple is ready to write their own story—one filled with love, laughter, and a bit of Hollywood magic.
Congratulations to the happy couple as they embark on this exciting new journey!
