In 2022, Jasmine revealed to InTouch that she and Eric met through her uncle, not their famous fathers.
“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.”
