Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy have all the makings of a true romantic comedy.
The Bad Boys for Life star, 57, joked on the episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after her kids officially took to Instagram last year.
“We haven’t talked about it,” Lawrence said of him and Murphy, 61. “We just stay out of their business and let them do their thing and respect their thing.”

He also admitted he’s willing to put tradition aside so that the groom’s father can attend to their potential nuptials, and joked with Kimmel, 54, “I’ll try to get Eddie to pay for it.”
Eric, 32, revealed his relationship with Jasmine, 26, in June 2021 and shared a selfie of the two. “Head over heels in LOVE with YOU,” he captioned the post.
Jasmine posted more beloved photos over the next month, wishing her boyfriend a happy birthday. “Happy birthday, my love! I am so incredibly blessed to know you, love you and have you by my side,” she wrote. “Cheers to many more blessings, laughs and fond memories! I love you so much!!”
Martin and Eddie first appeared together in the 1992 comedy Boomerang and again in Life (1999). Eddie was also present at Martin’s Beverly Hills wedding in 2010, where he married Shamicka Gibbs, from whom he divorced in 2012.
The Martin graduate was previously married to Jasmine’s mother, former Miss Virginia USA Patricia Southall, from 1995 to 1997. He also has daughters Iyanna Faith, 21, and Amara Trinity, 19, with Gibbs.
