Still overjoyed by the engagement, Jasmin concluded her post, “We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤️❤️Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!”

The couple have been together for over three years and have openly shared their love on social media. Eric revealed their relationship to the public in 2021 with a heartfelt Instagram post. It featured two photos of the couple, with Eric calling Jasmin his “other half” and “equally yoked.”

Their love story began with a family connection, but not the one most might expect. In a February 2022 interview with InTouch Weekly, Jasmin said that one of her relatives introduced her to Eric. “My uncle actually introduced us—it wasn’t even our dads,” Jasmin revealed.

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.

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.”
