Eddie Murphy’s son Eric and Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin announce pregnancy
Hollywood comedy icons Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are preparing to welcome a grandchild as their children, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, have revealed they are expecting their first baby together.
The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on February 2, posting a series of intimate photos celebrating the pregnancy.
One black-and-white image showed Eric resting his head on Jasmin’s baby bump, while other shots captured the glowing mum-to-be in a white gown, gently cradling her stomach.
“Thank you, Jesus, for the greatest gift,” the pair wrote in the caption, sparking an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans.
Beyond the excitement, the announcement marks a major milestone in a love story that quietly blossomed years ago.
Eric and Jasmin are believed to have met through their famous fathers, who starred together in the 1999 comedy film Life and maintained a close friendship afterwards.
Their families remained connected over the years, creating the environment that eventually brought the two together.
Though they kept their relationship largely private at first, Jasmin made it Instagram-official in 2021 with a heartfelt post celebrating Eric on his birthday, calling him her “love.”
Since then, the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their journey, showing steady growth from friendship into a committed partnership.
Now, as they prepare to become parents, fans say the baby will unite two legendary Hollywood families in a special way.
One excited follower wrote, “Having Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence as your grandparents is a blessing already!”
The couple has yet to reveal the baby’s gender or due date.
