2024-12-05
During an appearance on the Thursday, Dec. 5 episode of iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood, a significant revelation was made. Martin Lawrence disclosed that Eddie Murphy has asked him to cover the expenses for their kids' wedding. Eddie, who has already paid for numerous other children's big days, now claims it's Martin's turn. Martin has three daughters - Jasmin, 28, with his first wife Patricia Southall, and Iyanna, 24, and Amara, 22, with his second wife Shamicka Gibbs. Eddie, on the other hand, has 10 children - six daughters and four sons. He and his wife Paige Butcher share daughter Izzy Oona, 8, and son Max Charles, 6. He is also the father of eight other children through different relationships.

Details of the Proposal

Eddie's son Eric popped the question to Martin's daughter Jasmin on Nov. 27 in a room filled with candles and roses. In a sweet video of the proposal, Eric got down on one knee and opened a ring box. Jasmin was initially in awe, saying "It's beautiful. Oh my gosh," and then excitedly exclaimed "yes" and shared a kiss with her newly-minted fiancé.

Martin's Perspective

Martin revealed on the radio show that Eddie insisted he pay for the wedding as he had already covered the costs of his last daughter's wedding and several others. Despite the fact that host Kurt Alexander pointed out that the weddings of Eddie's other children have no direct connection to Martin, Martin expressed that he doesn't mind paying. This shows Martin's willingness to support his family in this significant event.

Eric and Jasmin's Future

As of now, the newly engaged couple does not have a specific date set for their wedding. This leaves many wondering about the next steps in their journey together. It's an exciting time for them as they prepare to start a new chapter in their lives.
