Comedy icons Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are set to unite their families as their children, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, celebrate their engagement. The couple, who announced their relationship three years ago, shared the heartwarming proposal via Instagram on Wednesday, November 27, just before Thanksgiving.
A Romantic Proposal Filled with Love
Eric, 35, surprised Jasmin, 28, in a romantic setting adorned with candles, rose bouquets, and a floor covered in petals. The emotional moment was set to the soulful tune of Eric Benet and Tamia’s “Spend My Life With You.” In the video, Jasmin is visibly moved as Eric gets down on one knee. Her response to the sparkling engagement ring was filled with joy: “It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh!” she exclaimed before saying yes.
The couple’s heartfelt Instagram post read: “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.” They also extended gratitude to those who helped create the memorable occasion.
A Love Story Rooted in Friendship
Jasmin, who has appeared in “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” and “Bad Boys for Life,” revealed in a 2022 interview that she and Eric were introduced by an uncle. “We bonded over our similar backgrounds and became really good friends. Over time, it became more,” she shared. The couple confirmed their romance on Instagram in 2021, and their love story has continued to captivate fans.
Comedic Legends’ Playful Banter
While the young couple plans their wedding, Murphy and Lawrence have shared lighthearted exchanges about who will foot the bill.

As their children prepare for married life, Murphy and Lawrence remain busy with upcoming projects. They are reportedly collaborating on a remake of the classic 1963 comedy-adventure It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
