Eddie Murphy’s son Eric Murphy has popped the question to Jasmin Lawrence, Martin Lawrence’s daughter. On Saturday, the offspring of comedy royalty announced the engagement on Instagram with a clip showing Eric walking Jasmin down a rose-petal aisle with candles lit throughout the room. A band played in the corner as Eric got down on one knee, with Jasmin saying yes. “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,” wrote Jasmin on her account. “We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.” Destiny it is-- the pair first announced their relationship on Instagram in 2021, and said that it wasn’t even their dads that connected the two. “My uncle actually introduced us,” Jasmin told InTouch Weekly in 2022. On Jimmy Kimmel in 2022, Martin told the host that they could have a “a comedy super-baby.”“We kind of just stay out of their business and let them do their own thing, and respect their thing,” Martin said at the time. Martin, who starred in the famous Bad Boys franchise, had originally wanted Will Smith’s character, who acts opposite him, to be played by Murphy. The two, however, have starred in the movies Life and Boomerang together.
