A Big Week for the Murphy and Lawrence Families: A Wedding and a New Movie
Two of the most iconic names in comedy, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, just had a proud dad moment. Their kids — Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence — officially got married. The two tied the knot recently in a quiet yet beautiful church ceremony, and people are still talking about it.
It’s the kind of news that feels like it belongs in a movie, but it’s real. These two grew up in the spotlight thanks to their famous fathers, but they’ve kept their relationship mostly low-key — and now, they’ve started a new chapter together.
Eric and Jasmin’s Relationship Comes Full Circle
Eric and Jasmin started showing up together on social media around 2021, and people immediately connected the dots. Fans of Life — the movie Eddie and Martin did together — were kind of amazed. The idea that their children had actually found love in real life felt special.
Their wedding happened in late May 2025 in a church, and while not many details were shared publicly, it’s clear it was a deeply personal and meaningful ceremony. It wasn’t about glitz or headlines. It was about family. And when you think about where they both come from — two comedy legends who also value privacy — it makes sense.
This marriage feels like more than just celebrity news. It’s a reminder that even when your last name is famous, you can still have something real and grounded.
Eddie Murphy’s Not Slowing Down — New Movie Coming Soon
While he’s celebrating his son’s big moment, Eddie Murphy is also getting ready to drop a brand-new comedy later this year. The film is called “The Pickup”, and it’s set to premiere on Prime Video in August.
The movie teams Eddie up with Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer, and honestly, people are curious to see how that mix works on screen. It’s being described as an action-comedy, and knowing Eddie’s track record, you can bet it’ll have that classic energy he’s known for — fast-paced, funny, maybe a little over-the-top, but fun to watch.
After the success of Coming 2 America and Candy Cane Lane, it feels like Eddie is enjoying this phase of his career where he picks what he wants, and still gets people excited.
In Closing
The past few days have been pretty amazing for Eddie Murphy — both as a father and as a performer. His son just married the daughter of his longtime friend and co-star, and he’s got a fresh project hitting streaming platforms soon. For fans, it’s nice to see a wholesome story for a change — one that mixes real love, legacy, and a little bit of Hollywood sparkle.
