Eddie Murphy Shares His Son Eric and Martin Lawrence’s Daughter Jasmin Welcomed First Baby

Eddie Murphy said the couple welcomed Ari Skye recently, marking the first grandchild for Martin Lawrence and a new milestone for both families.

  • On Saturday, April 18, 2026, actor Eddie Murphy confirmed that his son Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, daughter of Martin Lawrence, welcomed their first child together—a baby girl named Ari Skye.
  • After going public in June 2021, Eric and Jasmin married in May 2025, then announced their pregnancy in February 2026 via Instagram with a black-and-white photo of Eric cradling Jasmin's baby bump.
  • While accepting the AFI Life Achievement Award on Saturday, Murphy shared that he has "just had my first grandson, and my third granddaughter," expressing that "it's raining blessings on me this month."
  • The comedy legends previously joked they expected the child to be funny; Jasmin Lawrence shared March baby shower photos, calling it the "most beautiful and special celebration for our baby girl."
  • Murphy, who has 10 children, emphasized that his legacy is rooted in family rather than his film career, describing Ari Skye's arrival as a significant addition to both the Murphy and Lawrence families.
