Eric Murphy marries Jasmin Lawrence in low-key church wedding
The moment came when Jennifer Hudson casually asked Eddie Murphy if he planned to sing at his son’s wedding, to which he replied with a grin. According to Murphy, the wedding was kept extremely low-key, with only the couple and a preacher present.
“Actually, they got married like two weeks ago,” Murphy said, adding, “They went off, everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them and the preacher.”
Murphy quipped that Lawrence, now 60, just dodged the cost of a “big wedding,” jokingly adding, “We're in-laws.”
Murphy shared that the couple opted for an intimate ceremony, saying, “They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have a big party or something.”
When Jennifer Hudson asked Murphy if he’d be performing at his son’s wedding, he laughed and shot back, “No, I ain't singing. Martin will sing at the wedding. Yeah, that'd be funny.” He then playfully added that he might be up for a duet.
