Eddie Murphy told Martin Lawrence he has to pay for their kids' wedding, the “Bad Boys” star says

Thanks to Martin Lawrence, father of 10 Eddie Murphy has one less wedding to pay for.

Lawrence has to pick up the tab for the nuptials of his daughter Jasmin Lawrence and Murphy's son Eric Murphy, the Bad Boys film franchise star revealed Thursday on iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood.

See the moment below:

"Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," Lawrence said when he was asked about which of them would finance the big event. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now."

Lawrence, the father of three daughters, added that he doesn't mind the traditional approach of the bride's family paying.
