Lawrence told InTouch in 2022 that she and Murphy met through her uncle, not their fathers, who co-starred in the movies “Boomerang” and “Life.”

“It wasn’t even our dads, and they’ve done two movies together,” she said. “They’re friends. I don’t even know. It’s crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level.”
