This past May, Eddie confirmed that his son Eric had quietly married Martin's daughter in an intimate church ceremony. TheShrekstar appeared on a May 29 episode ofThe Jennifer Hudson Showand shared that Eric and Jasmingot 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 onInstagram— 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.
