Eddie Murphy’s son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter are finally engaged
Eddie Murphy’s son Eric and Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin are dating, according to a new Instagram post from Jasmin.
“Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side,” Jasmin captioned photos of her and Eric. “Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”
“You’re so sweet. Thank you my baby. I LOVE YOU!!” Eric wrote in a comment on Jasmin’s post.
The eldest son of the “Coming to America” star previously shared pictures of the couple smiling together to his Instagram account two weeks ago, writing in the caption “Head over heels in LOVE with YOU @jasmin_lawrence.”
Eric also included the hashtags “#myotherhalf” and “#equallyyoked” in his heartfelt post, which also garnered supportive comments from comedian Arsenio Hall and Eric’s half-sister Bria.
Eric was born in 1989 to Murphy and then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely. He’s the oldest of Murphy’s ten children, who also include Bria, 25; Myles, 22; Shayne, 21; Zola, 15; and Bella, 13, with his ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, and Angel, 8, with former Spice Girl Mel B.
Jasmin, whose mother is Lawrence’s ex-wife Patricia Southall, is the oldest of Lawrence’s children. He also has two daughters with ex Shamicka Gibbs.
Murphy and Lawrence costarred in several movies together, including the 1992 rom-com “Boomerang,” and the 1999 buddy comedy “Life,” in which the comedians played two convicts serving life in prison.
