📰 Full Story
Eddie Murphy confirmed on April 18, 2026 that his son Eric and Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin have welcomed a baby girl.
Speaking at the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award ceremony, Murphy said the couple — who married in 2025 and announced the pregnancy in February — had their daughter “a week or two ago” and gave her the name Ari Skye.
The birth is the first child for Eric and Jasmin and expands Murphy’s large family; Ari Skye is at least his third grandchild.
Martin Lawrence, who attended the AFI tribute, had previously celebrated the pregnancy on Instagram.
The arrival follows social-media reveals of the couple’s baby shower earlier this year and comes as Murphy was being honored by peers at an AFI event that will be highlighted in a forthcoming tribute special.
