Reports from the world of entertainment show that an engagement ceremony would soon merge the families of comedy legends, Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy.
Just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, Murphy’s eldest child, Eric, aged 35, revealed in an Instagram reel that he proposed to Lawrence’s oldest daughter, Jasmin, aged 28.
The reel, soundtracked by Eric Benet and Tamia’s ballad “Spend My Love With You,” shows a recap of the engagement, where Lawrence was surprised while entering a room filled with candles, rose bouquets, a heart sign backdrop, and floor overflowing with flower petals.
Murphy then got down on bended knee and proposed. “It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh,” Lawrence responded to the sight of the engagement ring before accepting her now-fiancé’s proposal.
“We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,” reads the Instagram caption. “We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤️❤️,” “Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!” the pair wrote on social media.

Although Murphy and Lawrence starred together in the 1999 black comedy film “Life” and the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang, Jasmin, who appeared in “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” and “Bad Boys for Life,” revealed to InTouch Weekly in 2022 that an uncle had introduced her to Eric.
She explained that they became really good friends and bonded on a lot of things. The two went on to note that the similarity in their backgrounds helped them understand each other on a certain level, and overtime, they became more than friends.
While their children make wedding plans, Lawrence and Murphy will reportedly keep themselves preoccupied with a remake of the 1963 comedy-adventure “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” and a sequel to the 1999 action-comedy “Blue Streak,” which Lawrence announced on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” earlier this month.
