Martin Lawrence Reacts to Daughter's Romance With Eddie Murphy's Son

Originally appeared on E! Online

Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy went from coworkers to future in-laws.

The comedians, who appeared in '90s films Life and Boomerang together, now have kids who are dating. That's right, Martin's daughter Jasmin Page Lawrence and Eddie's son Eric Murphy hard launched their relationship on Instagram in 2021.

"It's beautiful," Martin told E! News' Will Marfuggi about Jasmin and Eric's romance. "They both are beautiful, young adults and they get along so well." (To hear more from Martin's interview, watch E! News Sept. 5.)

"Whoever would've thought that my child and Eddie's child would get together?" he continued. "It's just what it is."

And when it comes to a potential wedding, it's Martin who will be reaching for his checkbook.

"Eddie said I had to pay for it," Martin revealed, noting Eddie recently footed the bill for daughter Bria Murphy's wedding to Michael Xavier. "So he said I gotta take this one on."

Until then, Martin is focusing on his Y'all Know What It Is! comedy tour, which kicked off in July.

Being back on the road "feels great," he said, "The love that the people are showing out there and giving me, I can't ask for nothing more."

In fact, this tour marks a milestone for the 59-year-old. As he explained, "This is the first time that I'm doing an hour headlining in eight years."

And although he felt the pressure putting his set together, he got support from his peers.

"I had a couple comedians help me with some stuff," Martin shared, adding that he got in the zone after his busy press tour for Bad Boys: Ride or Die. "I had to come up with this material within two months and it usually takes a year and a half to come up with a full hour."

As for what topics are off-limits in his set? His three daughters: Jasmin, 28 (with ex Patricia Southall), Iyanna Faith, 23, and Amara Trinity, 22 (who he shares with ex Shamicka Gibbs).

"I don't put my family in it," he confirmed. "I don't talk about my daughters."
