Murphy told Jennifer Hudson on her talk show that his son and Lawrence’s daughter recently tied the knot.
“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, just the two of them.”
Murphy added, “Yeah, we’re in-laws. And he doesn’t have to pay for that big wedding now.”
Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence went public with their relationship in 2021 and were engaged last year, People magazine reported.
Jasmin Lawrence said she and her now husband were introduced to each other by her uncle, despite their fathers being in a couple of movies together. The couple started out a friends and then “bonded on a lot of things.
