Comedian Eddie Murphy is going to become family with his friend and co-star, fellow comedic actor Martin Lawrence.
Murphy’s son, Eric Murphy, proposed to Martin’s daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, last week, the happy couple announced in a video shared on Instagram over the weekend.
The video includes the song “Spend My Life with You” by Eric Benét playing in the background. It shows a room decorated with candles and roses, and a floor covered in flower petals. The video then cuts to Jasmin walking into the room to see the setup.
Eric got down on one knee and held out the ring box, to which Jasmine said, “It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh,” and then, “Yes!” Eric and Jasmin celebrated their engagement with a kiss at the end.
“We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,” the Instagram post caption says.
“We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter,” it continues. “Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!”
Jasmin discussed how the pair met during a conversation with InTouch Weekly in 2022. “It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together, they’re friends,” she said at the time, adding that her uncle was responsible for making the match.

“We became really good friends because we bonded on a lot of things,” she continued. “And over time, it just, you know, became more.”
Lawrence joked about the couple during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2022, saying they were going to have “a comedy super-baby” in the future, per People.
“We haven’t talked about it,” Lawrence said at the time about his and Murphy’s reaction to the couple. “We kind of just stay out of their business and let them do their own thing, and respect their thing.”
“I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it,” he quipped about the potential of a wedding.
Murphy responded publicly, telling Canadian outlet Etalk, “That’s not how it goes.”
“My daughter [Bria] just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay,” the comedian said. “You have to do the same, Martin.”
“Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no sh**, do no Hollywood switch,” Murphy went on. “You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”
