Despite Eddie and Martin sharing a long history as friends and collaborators, their children’s relationship blossomed independently. “We became really good friends, we bonded on a lot of things,” Jasmin said of Eric.

Jasmin also called Eric her best friend. “It sounds cliche, like, you know, you should be best friends, but it’s so true. We just love each other’s company. We laugh together—a lot of laughing,” she explained.

She noted that their shared backgrounds create an unspoken understanding, making their relationship both natural and comforting. “There are certain things that I don’t have to explain, he just gets it, and he knows and it’s you know, it’s all good,” she added.
The couple’s families have been fully supportive of their romance. During a June 2022 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Martin addressed her daughter’s relationship with pride and humor.Host Jimmy Kimmel joked about Martin’s daughter dating the “Coming to America” star’s son, playfully asking if there was a secret hope for a “comedy super baby” between them.

Martin laughed and replied, “No, no. We haven’t talked about it; we haven’t. We kind of just stay out of their business, let them do their own thing, and respect their thing.”
