Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence is pregnant and expecting her first child with Eddie Murphy’s son Eric Murphy, marking a major milestone for celebrity families and quickly gaining attention from fans.
The couple shared the news on Instagram on Monday, February 2, by posting a series of maternity photos.
In a snapshot, we see Eric, 36, gently resting his head on Jasmin’s baby bump. Next to the photos, they wrote: “Thank you Jesus for this most beautiful gift,” keeping the announcement simple and sincere.
Proud dad Martin Lawrence, 60, also reposted the images, openly celebrating the moment.
“What a blessing to start the day! My heart is overflowing with love and gratitude after announcing my first grandchild!” he wrote.
He added that watching Jasmin and Eric begin their journey to parenthood “means everything” to him, emphasizing, “Family is everything, and this moment is nothing short of a blessing from God. Welcome to the next generation!”
Although Eddie Murphy, 64, has not made any public comments since announcing his pregnancy, he has previously shared his thoughts on becoming a grandfather.
Talk to E! News in July 2025, he said: “I never push them. It’s a beautiful blessing and whenever it happens, it happens.”
The baby news comes less than a year after Jasmin, 30, and Eric quietly tied the knot.
Eddie revealed their marriage during a May 2025 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Showexplaining that the couple opted for a small church ceremony with just the two of them.
“They left, everyone was planning a big wedding, and then they decided to do something quiet,” he said, joking that Martin no longer had to pay for a “big wedding.”
Eddie also happily noted at the time, “We’re in-laws.”
Martin later echoed this supportive approach, saying on the same talk show: “We want the best for our kids. We let them do their own thing, make their choices, stay out of their own business and let them find their way.”
Jasmin and Eric’s relationship first became public in June 2021, although they met earlier through a family connection.
In a 2022 interview, Jasmin revealed: “My uncle actually introduced us – he wasn’t even our dads. » She explained that despite their fathers’ long friendship, the introduction came from elsewhere and that their shared upbringing helped them connect.
“Obviously we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on some level, and over time, you know, it became more.”
The couple announced their engagement in November 2024, sharing a video of Eric’s romantic proposal.
Reacting to the moment, Jasmin said: “This is beautiful! Oh my God,” before later writing: “We are engaged! God has truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny.”
As they prepare to welcome their first child, Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy are entering a new chapter, one that both families have clearly embraced with enthusiasm, gratitude, and a whole lot of love.
