Eddie Murphy's family is expanding — son expecting first child with Martin Lawrence's daughter
Eddie Murphy's family is growing!
The Coming to America actor is set to become a grandfather again, with his son Eric Murphy expecting his first child with wife Jasmin Lawrence.
The comedian, himself a father to ten children, is already a grandfather to granddaughters Evie and Zuri, his son Myles Murphy's daughters with Carly Fink, plus his daughter Bria Murphy is also currently pregnant.
Jasmin, who is actor Martin Lawrence's daughter, and Eric took to Instagram to announce their pregnancy, sharing photos highlighting the soon-to-be first-time mom's growing bump.
The first of the photos is a black-and-white portrait that sees Eric tilting his head towards the bump, and the others see Jasmin in a form-fitting white ruched off-the-shoulder dress.
"Thank you Jesus for the greatest gift," she wrote in her caption alongside a string of red heart emojis, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post to congratulate them — and gush over the baby's set of grandparents.
"Having Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence as your grandparents is life!!!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Imagine having Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence as your grandfathers!!! I love this!!" and: "Aww Eddie and Martin grand poppa love this. Congratulations to the lovely couple," as well as: "Imagine having such legends as grandpas."
Though Eddie is already a grandfather, this marks Martin's first grandchild. He shares Jasmin with his ex-wife Patricia Southall, formerly Miss Virginia USA, who he married in 1995 though ultimately divorced in 1997.
He then began a relationship with Shamicka Gibbs, with whom he shares daughters Iyanna Faith, 25, and Amara Trinity, 23; they married in July 2010 — Eddie was among the 120 wedding guests
