About Jasmin Lawrence

Jasmin Lawrence is the eldest child of renowned comedian Martin Lawrence. She is the comedian’s only child with ex-wife Patricia Southall.

She was born on January 15, 1966. An actress by profession, Jasmin made her debut on E!’s reality television show titled Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules. The plot of the show revolves around the lives of eight famous children who come together to live and work as ranch hands in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The experience is meant to show their parents, the world, and themselves that they are more than their last names.

Before making a career in television, Jasmin earned a degree from Duke University. Jasmin gained fame when she made headlines for dating Eddie Murphy’s son, Eric Murphy.

Jasmin disclosed in January 2022 that she had met Eric through her uncle rather than their well-known fathers. Jasmin revealed to InTouch Weekly, “It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together; they’re friends.”

On Eric's 32nd birthday, the couple officially joined Instagram, with his girlfriend commenting, "Happy birthday, my love! Knowing you, loving you, and having you at my side is such a blessing. Let's toast to many more joys, blessings, and lovely memories! I adore you so much!

Based in Los Angeles, California, Eddie Murphy's son Eric is a well-known writer and voice actor who is represented by Avalon Entertainment.

Iyanna Faith, age 21, and Amara Trinity, age 19, are Jasmin’s siblings. Iyanna and Amara both avoid the spotlight despite having a well-known father and a well-liked sibling.
