Eddie Murphy turned down Martin Lawrence’s request to pay over $1 million for their children’s upcoming wedding.
Martin Lawrence‘s daughter Jasmin and Eddie Murphy‘s son Eric are engaged after dating for more than 3 years.
The couple shared a joint post on Instagram of the joyful moment when Eric popped the question.
“God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ????. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!”
In the video, Eric walked Jasmin into a room that was covered in white rose petals and lined with bouquets of white and light pink roses and lit candles.
As they walked down the rose-petal-covered aisle, the pair stood in front of a red heart before Eric pulled out a diamond ring and asked Jasmin to marry him.
In an appearance on Big Boy TV, Martin said Eddie told him to foot the bill for the wedding because Eddie has paid for the last six of his kids’ weddings. Eddie reportedly said it’s Martin’s turn to pay for a wedding. But Martin is financially strapped.
Martin reacts to his daughter and Eddie Murphy’s son’s recent engagement and reveals he’s paying for the wedding because Eddie Murphy said since he’s already paid for the last six of his kids’ weddings, it’s Martin’s turn to pay for this one.

Eddie, who is a dad to 10 children, shares Eric with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, while Martin shares Jasmin with his first ex-wife, Patricia Southall.
In June 2022, the “Martin” alum, 59, joked he was going to “try” to get Murphy, 63, to pay for their kids’ future wedding.
