Murphy & Lawrence: Grandparents to the Same Baby!

Two legendary comedians are set to welcome a new generation into their families. Eric Murphy, son of Eddie Murphy, and Jasmin Lawrence, daughter of Martin Lawrence, have announced they are expecting their first child. This news comes approximately one year after the couple exchanged vows in a secret wedding ceremony.

Eddie Murphy himself revealed the nuptials on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" a few weeks after the event. He humorously noted that the private ceremony spared Martin Lawrence the expense of extravagant wedding bills, a long-running joke between the two stars.

Jasmin Lawrence took to Instagram to share the happy news, posting a picture of Eric Murphy cradling her baby bump and expressing her thanks to Jesus for the 'greatest gift.' The couple had been dating for three years before their engagement just before Thanksgiving in 2024.
