Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy have all the ingredients for a real-life romantic comedy.
The Bad Boys for Life star, 57, joked about his daughter Jasmin Lawrence potentially conceiving a “comedy super-baby” with Eddie’s son Eric Murphy on Friday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after their kids went Instagram official last year.
“We haven’t talked about it,” Lawrence said of him and Murphy, 61. “We kind of just stay out of their business and let them do their own thing, and respect their thing.”
He also admitted that he’s willing to put aside tradition to have the groom’s father take care of their potential wedding, joking with Kimmel, 54: “I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it.”
Eric, 32 revealed his relationship with Jasmin, 26, in June 2021, sharing a selfie of the two of them. “Head over heels in LOVE with YOU,” he captioned the post.
Jasmin posted some more loved-up photos the next month, wishing her boyfriend a happy birthday. “Happy birthday, my love! I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side,” she wrote. “Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”
