The “Beverly Hills Cop” star shared the news during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” on Thursday, telling host Jennifer Hudson that the wedding took place earlier this month. “Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago,” Murphy said. “They went off … Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them.”

Murphy, 64, added that the ceremony was intimate and took place at a church with only the couple and a preacher in attendance. “They just had the two of them and the preacher,” he said. “They had a quiet little thing. So, I think we’ll have like a big party or something.”
Joking about who would have paid for a larger celebration, Murphy quipped, “And he [Martin] doesn’t have to pay for that big wedding now.”
Eric Murphy, 35, and Jasmin Lawrence, 29, first announced their engagement in December 2024 after three years of dating. “God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post.

The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2021, when Jasmin posted a birthday message to Eric on Instagram, referring to him as her “love.”
With the marriage now official, Murphy and Lawrence — two iconic figures in American comedy — share more than just a decades-long friendship. As Murphy put it simply, “Yeah, we’re in-laws.”
