Eddie Murphy‘s son Eric Murphy got down on one knee to propose to Martin Lawrence‘s daughter Jasmin Lawrence, setting up the Hollywood comedy legends to become in-laws.
The couple announced their engagement in an Instagram post on Saturday, including a video showing the elegant proposal in a candle-lit room full of flower petals.
“11.27.2024 We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,” Jasmin wrote in the caption. “We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.”
The video shows the couple entering the room and walking down a narrow path holding hands before Eric drops to a knee in front of Jasmin to pop the question. They then share a kiss.
Eric, the oldest of Eddie’s children, was born in 1989 to Eddie and then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely. Jasmin, the oldest of Martin’s children, was born in 1996 to Martin and Patricia Southall.
Eric and Jasmin have both posted several pictures with each other throughout their relationship, including a photo of the pair posted by Eric in June 2021 captioned, “Head over heels in LOVE with YOU.”
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! two years ago, Martin joked that if the pair were to ultimately get married, he would “try to get Eddie to pay for it.”
