Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, the children of comedy legends Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, are officially engaged! The couple shared the exciting news on Instagram Saturday with a romantic video of the proposal.
Set to Eric Benét’s Spend My Life with You, the video begins with a glimpse of the stunning venue adorned with candles, rose petals, and bouquets. It then shows Jasmin walking into the room, her genuine surprise captured on camera.
Eric, the eldest of Eddie’s 10 children, kneels to propose, opening a ring box as Jasmin reacts with delight. “It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh,” she exclaims before saying “yes” and sealing the moment with a kiss.
The couple shared their happiness in the caption, writing, “We’re engaged!! 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 beautiful!!”
Eric and Jasmin, who first went public with their relationship in June 2021, have been cheered on by their famous fathers, who humorously weighed in on their romance. During a June 2022 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Martin joked about the prospect of their union.
“They’re going to make a comedy super-baby,” he quipped, adding, “I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it.” Eddie later responded to Martin’s playful comment during an interview with Canadian outlet Etalk, laughing, “That’s not how it goes.”
The engagement video has since drawn congratulatory messages from fans and friends alike, celebrating the love story between the two Hollywood families. While the timeline of their relationship remains unclear, their joy is evident as they prepare for their future together.
As fans eagerly await more details about their wedding plans, one thing is certain: this union has brought two comedy dynasties even closer, with the potential for a lifetime of love and laughter ahead.
