Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence’s love life
In June 2021, Eric publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with Jasmine.
He shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a photo of himself with Lawrence, expressing that he was “head over heels in LOVE” with her.
Additionally, he included hashtags such as #MyOtherHalf, #EquallyYoked, and #ILoveYou to emphasize his feelings.
Later, Lawrence celebrated Murphy’s birthday on Instagram, writing a touching message in which she said,
“I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side. Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”
In a 2022 interview, Jasmin explained that she and Eric met through her uncle rather than through their fathers, who are famous for co-starring in the films “Boomerang” and “Life.”
She stated,
“It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together, They’re friends. I don’t even know. It’s crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level.”
Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy on their children’s relationship
In June 2022, Martin, 59, discussed the romance between his daughter Jasmin and Murphy’s son Eric during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
He mentioned that he and Eddie, 63, had not spoken about their children’s relationship, stating,
“We haven’t talked about it, We kind of just stay out of their business and let them do their own thing, and respect their thing.”
Lawrence also joked about potentially getting Eddie to pay for a future wedding if the couple were to marry.
Eddie later playfully responded to Lawrence’s comment during an interview with Canadian outlet Etalk, stating,
“That’s not how it goes.”
He referenced the tradition where the father of the bride pays for the wedding, saying,
“My daughter [Bria] just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay,”
He then added,
“You have to do the same, Martin.”
Similarly, Murphy humorously warned Martin,
“Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no s—, do no Hollywood switch, You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying.”
In a separate interview with CBS in July, Murphy joked that if Eric and Jasmin ever marry and have a child, he expects the child to be funny.
Eric previously attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for his future father-in-law, Martin Lawrence, in April 2023.
After the event, Eric shared a heartfelt tribute to Martin on Instagram, where he expressed admiration for Martin’s “unconditional love” towards his daughter, Jasmin.
In his post, he wrote,
“From the moment I met you, @martinlawrence, I knew that you were not only one of the funniest and most talented actors on the planet, but also an amazing father, Your unconditional love and support for Jasmin have not only shaped her into the beautiful, strong, and compassionate woman she is today, but have also helped create the incredible partner she is to me.”
Eric then concluded his message by expressing gratitude for Martin’s parenting and ongoing support for their family.
