Comedy legends now in-laws after kids get married in private ceremony
Comedy legends Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are now related.
Murphy, the star of the “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise, revealed Thursday on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” his son, Eric, and Martin Lawrence’s daughter, Jasmin, recently got married in a church ceremony.
The 64-year-old actor said Eric, 35, and Jasmin, 29, got married around “two weeks ago.”
“They went off, everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them,” Murphy said, per PEOPLE.
He joked Lawrence, the star of the “Bad Boys” franchise, doesn’t have to pay for a “big wedding.”
“We’re in-laws,” he said.
“They went off and they got married at the church,” Murphy said. “They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing. So I think we’ll have a big party or something.”
The younger Murphy popped the question on Nov. 27 after more than three years of dating, and became Instagram official.
