Eddie Murphy’s Son Eric Gushes Over Girlfriend and Daughter of Martin Lawrence Catching the Bouquet at His Sister’s Wedding 

Eddie Murphy’s eldest daughter Bria Murphy tied the knot with her fiancé, artist Michael Xavier, last weekend in a lavish private ceremony, but it looks like brother Eric Murphy could be next after his girlfriend, Jasmin Lawrence — who happens to be the daughter of another legendary comedian, Martin Lawrence —- caught the bouquet at his sister-in-law’s wedding. 

During the lavish reception, which included 250 of Bria and Michael’s closest friends and family members, Jasmin caught the bride’s bouquet in a heartwarming moment shared on her Instagram Stories Sunday night. 

Eric, who’s also celebrating a birthday on Monday, was ecstatic. The 33-year-old  took to his social media page, where he gave his special lady a shout-out about the big win. “I am overwhelmed with joy celebrating my sister Bria, and her husband Michael’s wedding. I am so extremely happy for you both! Yesterday was such a beautiful day!!” he wrote alongside a photo of himself, Jasmin, and the newlyweds

He added: “Special shout out to Jas for catching the bouquet.”

This wasn’t the first time the topic of marriage has risen for the couple, whose timeline is still unclear to many. Last month while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the “Bad Boys” star confirmed that his daughter was indeed dating Eddie’s son

The actor didn’t divulge too much about the pair, citing that when it comes to their love life the fathers “stay out of their business and let them do their own thing” in an effort to “respect their thing.”

Later the conversation shifted to whether he saw wedding bells in Eric and Jasmin’s future. The “Big Momma’s House” star quipped that he would try to get the “Coming to America” star to pick up the tab,  joking, “I’m going to try to get Eddie to pay for it.”

Last January, Eric left a touching message for his girl in honor of her 26th birthday on Instagram, which included various pictures of the couple. The post read, “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side. Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
