Eric, a voice actor and writer currently developing an animated series, is the oldest of Eddie Murphy’s 10 children. Jasmin is Martin Lawrence’s eldest daughter. He has two other daughters with his ex-wife, Shamicka Gibbs. 

She made a brief cameo in her dad’s most recent film, 2020’s Bad Boys for Life.
