Martin Lawrence recently revealed that he’ll be paying for his daughter and Eddie Murphy’s son’s wedding.
As we previously reported, Martin’s daughter, Jasmin, and Eddie’s son, Eric, got engaged the day before Thanksgiving after being together for three years. While speaking with Big Boy on his show ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood’ Martin revealed that Eddie Murphy told him that he has to pay for the wedding because he’s already paid for 6 weddings for his kids.
So according to Martin, Eddie told him that it’s his turn to pay some big bucks, but during the conversation Martin made it clear that he doesn’t mind covering the total.
Jasmin is Martin’s firstborn, and he shares her with his ex-wife, Patricia Southall. He’s got two more daughters, Iyanna, 24, and Amara, 22, with his second wife, Shamicka Gibbs. Overall, Eddie’s got a total of 10 kids—six daughters and four sons. Eric is the oldest, and he’s from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely.
Jasmin and Eric dropped the news of their engagement over the weekend in a video on Instagram, where you can see him getting down on one knee to pop the question to his girl, as reported by The Huffington Post. They captioned the post: “11.27.2024. We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤️❤️.”
“Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!” they added.
