Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence are expecting their first child less than a year after quietly tying the knot.
The news first broke on Instagram with a sweet snap of Jasmin cradling her baby bump in an off-the-shoulder white dress, while Eric rested his head on her belly and lovingly gazed at the camera.
The intimate photo captured a private moment for the famously low-key pair.
Eric, 36, is the eldest son of Eddie Murphy, while Jasmin, 30, is the eldest daughter of Martin Lawrence.
Martin Lawrence shared his excitement over Instagram, saying, “What a blessing to start the day! My heart is overflowing with love and gratitude after the announcement of my first grandchild!”
“Watching Jasmin and Eric begin this journey into parenthood means everything to me. Family is everything, and this moment is nothing less than a blessing from God. Welcome to the next generation!” he continued.
Online, fans have been buzzing, imagining the comedic genes this kid might inherit.
“Imagine your grandfathers being Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence,” one netizen wrote. Another joked, “Are we even ready for how hilarious this kid is about to be?!”
Eric and Jasmin’s romance went public in June 2021 via social media, with the engagement announced in late 2024.
They later eloped in a private May 2025 ceremony, officially uniting two legendary comedy families.
Since then, the pair have kept life largely off the Hollywood radar, focusing on each other and now, parenthood.
While their fathers famously co-starred in the 1992 hit Boomerang and the 1999 cult classic Life, Jasmin has clarified that the two did not meet through their parents, but rather through her uncle.
Despite their high-profile lineages, the couple has remained notably low-key, opting to elope in a small church ceremony last year rather than hosting a massive Hollywood gala.
Eddie Murphy later confirmed the nuptials during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, jokingly noting that Martin “dodged the bill” for a massive wedding by keeping the event private.
