Eddie Murphy's Son Eric and Martin Lawrence's Daughter Jasmin Welcome First Child Together

Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence are officially parents!

Eddie Murphy shared that his son is now a father in an interview with E! News at the American Film Institute Achievement Award Ceremony on Saturday, April 18.

"They just had a baby girl," Murphy told E! News. "They just had her two weeks ago, or a week ago. Yeah, Ari. Ari Skye."

Eric and Jasmin announced they were expecting their first child together in February and the couple got married in a private intimate ceremony May 2025.

"Thank you Jesus for the greatest gift ❤️❤️❤️," the couple wrote on Instagram in February announcing Jasmin's pregnancy.

The couple had also shared posts from their baby shower to their Instagram stories where they first revealed their daughter's name. In one video, Jasmin said, "Ari Skye, Mommy loves you so much. This day is all for you."

Murphy was also asked if he and Martin Lawrence shared any parenting advice to their children to which he said parenting is something "you don't give advice" about.

"Oh, you don't give advice like that," he explained. "You know, your kids don't go by your advice. Your kids go by the example you set. They watch you."

Murphy continued, The stuff you be saying, they don't even pay that s**t no mind. They watch and see what you do. So, I don't give a lot of advice."
