The proposal video featured a romantic setting, with Eric guiding Jasmin into a room adorned with white rose petals, bouquets of white and light pink roses, and glowing candles. As they walked down the petal-strewn aisle, they stopped in front of a red heart, where Eric presented a diamond ring and asked Jasmin to be his wife.
After her affirmative response, the couple celebrated with a kiss and embraced before posing for photos together. Numerous celebrities took to the comments section to congratulate the couple on their engagement. Comedian Affion Crockett wrote, “You did that, bruhhh Congrats to both of you,” while Kyla Pratt, known for her role in “The Proud Family,” commented, “Congratulations beauty.”
The couple first went public with their relationship in the summer of 2021, when Jasmin posted a sweet birthday tribute to Eric on Instagram. Although the specifics of their meeting remain unclear, it is known that their fathers have been friends for years and collaborated on popular films such as “Boomerang” and “Life.”
Eddie Murphy, who has ten children, shares Eric with his ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, while Martin Lawrence has Jasmin with his first ex-wife, Patricia Southall. In June 2022, the “Martin” star humorously mentioned his intention to persuade Eddie Murphy to contribute to their children’s future wedding expenses.
