Months after their very public engagement, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence have quietly tied the knot, Eric’s father, Eddie Murphy, revealed on Thursday’s (May 29) episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show.
“Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago,” Murphy revealed to his Dreamgirls co-star. “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.”
When asked about joining families with fellow funnyman Lawrence, Murphy added, “Yeah, we’re in-laws. And he doesn’t have to pay for that big wedding now.”
