Eddie Murphy Reveals Family Secret: He and Martin Lawrence Are In-Laws

Comedy legends Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have a unique family connection. Their children, Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy, are now married to each other, making their dads in-laws.

In an interview on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Eddie Murphy revealed that his son Eric and Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin got married just two weeks ago. They chose to have a quiet ceremony with just the two of them and a preacher, rather than a large wedding party. As a result, Martin Lawrence won’t have to pay for the big wedding.

The couple had been together since 2021 and were recently engaged in a small, high-production-value proposal event. Murphy is expecting his tenth child and plans to celebrate the new blended family with a big party soon.

This unexpected twist brings the comedians’ families closer together, and they will likely have many opportunities for laughter and joy as they navigate their new roles as in-laws.
