The caption revealed that the engagement took place on Wednesday, November 27:
"We're engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!"

Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence were spotted entering the place, holding hands and smiling. At one point, the former went on his knees to propose to Jasmin with a ring, and while Lawrence replied with a "yes," the duo kissed each other.
The couple kissed a few more times, and at one point, the focus was entirely on Jasmin's engagement ring. Jasmin herself flaunted the ring towards the final few seconds of the video.
Netizens commented on The Shade Room's Instagram post to share their reactions to the proposal video.

Eddie Murphy had once addressed his son's relationship with Martin Lawrence's daughter
Although Eddie and Martin's children are now engaged, the pair have hardly disclosed details about their relationship. However, the relationship became public in June 2021 after Eric shared two selfies through his social media page, posing alongside Jasmin. The caption of the Instagram post mentioned:
"Head over heels in love with you @jasmin_lawrence."
Jasmin Lawrence also told InTouch Weekly the following year that she and Eric Murphy shared a close friendship since they had a lot of things in common.
While speaking on CBS Mornings in July this year about the relationship between his son Eric and Martin's daughter Jasmin, Eddie Murphy revealed how he and Lawrence initially reacted to the news. According to Entertainment Tonight, Eddie said:
"We were just like, cool. They're both beautiful. They look amazing together."
Eddie Murphy further stated that people have been asking whether Eric and Jasmin's child would also turn out to be funny. He addressed it by saying:
"If they ever get married and have a child, I'm expecting the child to be funny."
A year after Eric and Jasmin confirmed their relationship on social media, Martin Lawrence said in an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he prefers to respect the duo's privacy, adding that he and Eddie want to "let them do their own thing."
Notably, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have been close friends for a long time and even collaborated on two films, Boomerang and Life.
