Murphy revealed the news on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he joked that his fellow-in-law, with whom he co-starred in comedies Boomerang (1992) and Life (1999), didn\u2019t \u201chave to pay\u201d for a big wedding, having jokingly landed the bill at his feet.<\/p>\n

Lawrence claimed in interviews leading up to the nuptials: \u201cEddie said I gotta pay for it,\u201d as Murphy had already paid for his son\u2019s wedding. \u201cHe said it\u2019s my turn now,\u201d the Big Momma\u2019s House star said.<\/p>\n

But the couple \u201cwent off and got married at the church\u201d with \u201cjust the two of them and the preacher\u201d, Murphy revealed. \u201cThey had a quiet little thing. So I think we’ll have a big party or something.”<\/p>\n

Eric, 37, is the eldest of Eddie\u2019s 10 children, the most recent of whom was born in 2018. Jasmin, 30, is also the eldest child of Lawrence.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Jasmin revealed that it was her uncle who introduced her husband-to-be. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t even our dads \u2013 and they\u2019ve done two movies together,\u201d she told InTouch. \u201cThey\u2019re friends. I don\u2019t even know. It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
