Eddie Murphy’s Son, Martin Lawrence’s Daughter Are Married

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s children are officially partners for life. 

Eric Murphy—who Eddie shares with ex Paulette McNeely—and Jasmin Lawrence, Martin’s daughter with ex-wife Patricia Southall, privately tied the knot nearly “two weeks ago,” the Dreamgirls alum revealed May 29.

“They went off—everybody was making their big wedding plans,” Eddie explained during a preview of his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, “and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.”

Eddie also joked that Martin doesn’t have to “pay for the wedding now.”

The couple’s low-key ceremony follows their candlelit proposal in November 2024. For that special occasion, Eric, 35, got down on one knee in front of Jasmin, 29, in a room decorated with candles, white roses and a giant red heart. 

The eldest of Martin’s three children shared the engagement news in a Nov. 30 Instagram post, writing, “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 magical.”

Eric and Jasmin first announced they were dating on Instagram in July 2021. At the time, Jasmin posted a picture of her and Eric, writing, “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side.”
