Martin Lawrence's daughter and Eddie Murphy's son are celebrating their baby on the way.

The expectant parents — Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy — reshared several posts from their baby shower on their Instagram Stories to commemorate the special occasion. The couple, who is expecting a baby girl, were all smiles as they posed alongside family and friends in the pictures.

In a video, which the soon-to-be mom shared on her Instagram Stories following the event, Jasmin, 30, revealed the name of their baby-to-be. "Ari Skye," she said as she gently rubbed her belly. "Mommy loves you so much. This day is all for you.”

"My baby 💗 Ari Sky Murphy 💗," she wrote across the clip.

The couple, who tied the knot last May, first shared that they're expecting their first baby together on Instagram on Monday, Feb. 2. In a black-and-white photo, Jasmin could be seen wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, which highlighted her pregnant belly.

Eric, 36, had his head resting on Jasmin's stomach, turning his head to face the camera. The mom-to-be smiled down at her husband in one photo, and was pictured standing by herself outside in a few others.

"Thank you Jesus for the greatest gift ❤️❤️❤️," the couple wrote in their joint caption.

Last May, Eddie, 64, confirmed that his son Eric had quietly married Martin's daughter in an intimate church ceremony. The Shrek star appeared on a May 29 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show and shared that Eric and Jasmin got married around “two weeks ago” in a small church ceremony instead of having a grand wedding.

“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,” Eddie said, joking that Lawrence now doesn't have to pay for a “big wedding.” "We're in-laws," he added.

Eddie said that the pair "didn't have a wedding," but might have a larger celebration later.

“They went off and they got married at the church,” the actor said. “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."

In November 2024, Eric popped the question to Jasmin after over three years of dating, and the pair announced the happy news through a sweet video shared on Instagram — which included footage of the moment Jasmin said “yes.” The clip, set to “Spend My Life With You” by Eric Benét, showed the couple walking into a room decorated with candles, roses and flower petals, and then Eric getting down on one knee and opening his ring box.

“It’s beautiful! Oh my gosh,” Jasmin said of the engagement ring before saying “yes” and sharing a kiss with her now-husband.

Before the two got engaged, Eddie shared that he was okay with his son's relationship – and even joked that he expected the couple's future child to "be funny."

In an interview with CBS Mornings on July 2, 2024, Eddie told Gayle King that he and his former Boomerang costar thought it was “cool” that their kids were in a relationship.

“They’re both beautiful,” Eddie said. “They look amazing together. And it’s funny [because] everybody [asks], ‘What is that baby going to be funny?’"

“Just our gene pool is going to make this funny baby,” he continued. “If they ever get married and have a child, I’m expecting the child to be funny.”
