Hollywood has always had a knack for delivering love stories that make us believe in fate. But sometimes, the most epic tales unfold not on the big screen but in real life. This time, though, the story comes with a twist: it stars the children of two of the funniest men in Hollywood.

Hollywood has seen its fair share of iconic duos: Lennon and McCartney, Thelma and Louise, and, of course, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. 

These two comedy legends ruled the ‘90s with hits like Boomerang and Life. They made us laugh until our sides hurt and solidified their status as one of the funniest pairs to ever grace the screen. 

They’ve brought us unforgettable movie moments and proved time and again that their chemistry is unmatched. But now, their bond is about to get a whole lot deeper—and not because of a sequel.

Imagine a family gathering with Eddie Murphy cracking jokes at the head of the table and Martin Lawrence firing back with his trademark wit. Now, add the next generation into the mix. 

That’s the reality fans are envisioning after Eric Murphy, Eddie’s son, proposed to Jasmin Lawrence, Martin’s daughter. Yes, you read that right—their kids are engaged, and Hollywood just scored its newest power couple.

From iconic last names to iconic love stories—Jasmin and Eric make it official!

Eric and Jasmin shared their happy news on Instagram with a stunning proposal video. The video featured a candlelit room, musicians, and a heart-shaped backdrop. 

Jasmin’s laughter filled the air as Eric got down on one knee, showcasing a dazzling ring. Their caption read, “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny.” Naturally, social media exploded. 

Who needs a rom-com when real-life love stories look this good?

“This is amazing family reunions are going to be legendary!” one fan wrote. Another added, “Being able to tell people that your grandfathers are Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence when they ask you about your family tree is a major flex." We couldn’t agree more.

We can’t get over how perfect they look together

While it seems like a Hollywood match made in heaven, Jasmin revealed it wasn’t their dads who played cupid. Instead, her uncle introduced them. “Obviously we have similar backgrounds so we understood each other on a certain level and over time it just became more," she explained.

Let’s be honest—this engagement isn’t just a union of two lovebirds; it’s the ultimate crossover event. Picture the wedding: Eddie cracking impromptu jokes during the toasts, Martin turning the father-daughter dance into a stand-up routine, and somewhere in the background, a very confused DJ wondering if “Party All the Time” is an acceptable choice for the first dance. 

If Netflix doesn’t opt for a family reunion special after this, they’re seriously missing out. Of course, the duo couldn’t resist poking fun at the wedding plans. Martin joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he’s “trying to get Eddie to pay for the wedding,” while Eddie fired back that it was Martin’s turn.

With families like theirs, one thing’s certain: this wedding and every family event afterward will be nothing short of unforgettable. Whatever happens, this love story is just the beginning of a comedy dynasty we can’t wait to see unfold.
