In a joint post shared on February 2, the couple revealed the happy news along with several photos of Jasmin proudly showing off her baby bump.
“Thank you, Jesus, for the greatest gift,” Jasmin and Eric wrote in the caption of the slideshow posted on their Instagram pages.
While commenting on his son’s relationship with Lawrence’s daughter in an interview with the CBS Mornings program in July 2024, Eddie Murphy said that if they ever had a child, the baby would undoubtedly be funny.
“They’re both beautiful,” Eddie said. “They look amazing together. And it’s funny because everyone asks, ‘What is that baby going to be like?’”
“Just our genetics alone are going to make a funny baby,” he added. “If they get married and have a child, I hope the baby is funny.”
Friends and fans of the couple celebrated the news and commented on how lucky the baby is to have Murphy and Lawrence as grandparents: “Having Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence as grandparents is everything!!!” one person wrote.
“Imagine having legends like these as grandparents,” another wrote.
“This child has two of the funniest grandfathers in the world! Two comedy legends and amazing parents. Love this for the Lawrence/Murphy family,” a third celebrated.
