Martin Lawrence says he "doesn't mind" paying for his daughter's wedding to Eddie Murphy's son.

Lawrence, who's currently on a comedy tour, stopped by Big Boy TV just days after his eldest daughter Jasmin, 28, got engaged to Murphy's eldest son Eric, 35.

The couple is clearly a match made in comedy heaven due to their hilarious fathers, but Lawrence shared on Big Boy TV that Murphy doesn't plan on footing the wedding bill.

"Well, Eddie said I got to pay for it ... 'Cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding. Like, the last six weddings," Lawrence told Big Boy around the 12-minute mark below.

He continued, "He said it's my turn now. ... I don't mind."

Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy went public with their relationship in 2021, and around the couple's second anniversary, Martin Lawrence appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Around the 3:50-minute mark below, he joked that he'll "try to get Eddie to pay for [the wedding]."

But on Etalk, Murphy warned Lawrence to not "switch it up."

"Don't try to change no shit, do no Hollywood switch," he said in the clip below. "You're paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin's paying. And the wedding better be wonderful."

One thing the two actor-comedians can agree on is co-writing a Blue Streak remake, which Lawrence confirmed on The Jennifer Hudson Show and Big Boy TV. Lawrence and Murphy previously starred in 1999 buddy-comedy film Life and the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang.
