How Eddie Murphy’s Son and Martin Lawrence’s Daughter Are Blending Their Families
Eddie Murphy is looking forward to going to Big Momma’s house for the holidays.
Six months after his son Eric Murphy married Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence in a private wedding ceremonythe Dreamgirls alum said he is excited to figure out how their newly-connected family will tackle the holiday season.
“They just got married a few months ago,” Eddie told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes in an exclusive interview at the Los Angeles premiere of his documentary Being Eddie Nov. 12, “so we have yet to see how it’s all gonna blend together.”
Despite trekking into the unknown, he is confident their festivities will be fun, adding, “It’s going to be cool.”
So, would Eddie—whose documentary is streaming now on Netflix—extend that family bond into a sequel to his and Martin’s 1999 Oscar-nominated film Life?
“No, because at the end of Life we were like 90 years old,” he continued through laughter. But at the prospect of focusing on an afterlife storyline, he quipped, “That’s what we can call it, The Afterlife. And it can take place in heaven.”
Regardless of whether Eddie and Martin star in another project together, the pair have been embracing their kids’ love story well before their May nuptials. Indeed, as the Shrek star explained, Jasmin has already been folded into the mix for quite some time.
