Eddie Murphy is making Martin Lawrence pay for their kids’ wedding day
The father-of-10 ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ star, 63, is worth an estimated $200 million, but comic and actor Martin, 59, said the Hollywood icon is making him foot the bill for his daughter Jasmin Lawrence’s upcoming nuptials with Eddie’s boy Eric after they got engaged in November as he’s already paid for six of his children’s nuptials.
Martin said on iHeartRadio’s ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood’: “Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it.
“He said I gotta pay for it ’cause he paid for his last daughter’s wedding, like the last six weddings.
“He said it’s my turn now”.
Eddie has 10 children – six daughters and four sons.
He and his wife Paige Butcher have daughter Izzy Oona, eight, as well as six-year-old son Max Charles – and he is a father to five with his ex-wife Nicole Murphy.
They are son Myles, 32, and daughters Bria, 35, Shayne, 30, Zola, 24, and 22-year-old Bella.
Eddie also has sons Eric, 35, and Christian, 34, with former partners Paulette McNeely and Tamara Hood – and had daughter Angel, 17, with ex-girlfriend Mel B.
Martin has three daughters – his eldest Jasmin, 28, who he had with his first wife Patricia Southall, as well as Iyanna, 24, and Amara, 22, with his second wife, Shamicka Gibbs.
Martin added Jasmin and Eric don’t yet have a wedding date fixed.
Eric popped the question to Martin’s daughter on 27 November in a room packed with candles and roses, with a video of the moment showing him getting down on one knee and opening a ring box – prompting Jasmin to say: “It’s beautiful. Oh my gosh. Yes.”
