Eddie Murphy recently welcomed a new family member — a granddaughter from his son, Eric Murphy, and daughter-in-law, Jasmin Lawrence. Which means that he and Jasmin’s father, Martin Lawrence, now share a grandchild.
On Saturday, April 18, Eddie spoke with E! News at the 51st American Film Institute Achievement Award ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
“They just had a baby girl,” the Nutty Professor star, 65, confirmed. “They just had her two weeks ago, or a week ago. Yeah, Ari Skye.”
When asked if he had any advice for Eric and Jasmin after welcoming their first child, he told the outlet. “Oh, you don’t give advice like that. You know, your kids don’t go by your advice. Your kids go by the example you set. They watch you.”
Eddie added, “The stuff you be saying, they don’t even pay that s*** no mind. They watch and see what you do. So, I don’t give a lot of advice.”
Jasmin and Eric, who married in May 2025, have not publicly announced the birth of their daughter, as of writing.
