The Murphy-Lawrence family is expanding.
Eddie Murphy confirmed that his son Eric Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin Lawrence welcomed their first baby together, a little girl named Ari Skye.
“They just had a baby girl,” Eddie exclusively told E! News at the American Film Institute achievement award ceremony April 18. “They just had her two weeks ago, or a week ago. Yeah, Ari Skye.”
As for any parenting advice the 65-year-old has for the couple’s next chapter?
“Oh, you don’t give advice like that,” he explained. “You know, your kids don’t go by your advice. Your kids go by the example you set. They watch you.”
“The stuff you be saying, they don’t even pay that s–t no mind,” he quipped. “They watch and see what you do. So, I don’t give a lot of advice.”
Though the Emmy winner—who was being honored with the Life Achievement Award at the 51st annual event, airing on Netflix May 31—isn’t keen on offering words of wisdom to his 10 kids, he did share how his success as a dad will always trump his professional achievement.
