Comedy royalty Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have officially merged their entertainment dynasties.
Murphy confirmed in an interview on Thursday's episode of "The Jennifer Hudson Show" that his son, Eric Murphy, and Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Lawrence, "ran off and got married."
"Actually they got married two weeks ago," Murphy revealed. "They went off — everybody was making their big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them."
Eddie Murphy then joked that his "Life" and "Boomerang" co-star doesn't have "to pay for the big wedding now."
It's unclear if the newlyweds were aware that Murphy would be mentioning that they got hitched on national television. Neither Eric Murphy, 35, nor Jasmin Lawrence, 29, posted about the private ceremony on their social media accounts.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in November, posting video from the candlelit proposal.
Although the pair opted for a private ceremony, Eddie Murphy told Hudson that they planned on throwing a "big party" to honor the newlyweds.
The couple started dating in 2021, Lawrence told InTouch Weekly in an interview the following year. They met through her uncle, not their famous dads, she said.
“It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together,” she told InTouch. “They’re friends. I don’t even know. It’s crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level.”
