Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have familiar with each other for years, but they never wondered that they might be merging their families.
As per to media, Eddie nearly sat down for an exclusive interview with Gayle King on ‘CBS Mornings.’
During his conversation with King, the legendary actor discussed his son Eric Murphy’s connection with Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the ‘Coming to America’ star initially supported them and found it exciting when their connection started, noting that Martin felt the same way.
We were just like, it’s cool. They’re both beautiful. They look amazing together,” Eddie said.
During his interview with King, Eddie also talked the potential future if Erica and Jasmin tied knot and had a child.
“It’s funny, everybody asks, ‘What, is that baby going to be funny?’ Like, just our gene pool is going to make this funny baby. If they ever get married and planned to have a child, I’m expecting the child to be funny,” Eddie continued.
Media reports that Martin seemed to echo Eddie’s sentiments during his appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ in 2022, joking about the possibility of their children creating a “comedy super-baby” someday.
Martin has accepted his daughter’s connection with Eddie’s son, but mentioned he prefers to stay out of their business and respect what they have going on. But, he later joked that if and when their marriage does happen, he will try to get Eddie to foot the bill.
