Meanwhile, the Coming 2 America actor’s son Eric is dating fellow actor Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month, Martin, 57, joked that if the two ever get married one day, he’s willing to put aside tradition and have the groom’s father take care of the bill for a potential wedding: “I’m gonna try to get Eddie to pay for it.”
