Martin Lawrence Gets Engaged To Longtime Girlfriend

A big congratulations go out to funnyman Martin Lawrence aka "Marty Mar" for getting engaged Friday, March 31st to his girlfriend Roberta Moradfar. His bride-to-be captured the ring the moment on her social media below.

Whether or not this will be the first marriage for Moradfar is unknown, but she will be bride No. 3 for Lawrence. The actor, who is gearing up to begin filming “Bad Boys for Life” in Atlanta in April, according to Patch, was previously married to former “Hollywood Exes” reality star Shamicka Gibbs from 2010 to 2012 and Miss Virginia USA 1993 Patricia Southall from 1995 to 1996.

Sources connected to the couple tell us Martin worked for months with Iconic Jewels Beverly Hills to create the custom 5 carat emerald cut engagement ring. He added another carat for the band alone, which has Martin and Roberta's initials spelled out in diamonds.


Martin popped the question Friday night to Roberta, a nurse practitioner ... just a few hours after the ring was delivered to his home.

Besides getting ready for his impending nuptials, Lawrence is also getting ready for Bad Boys III.

Sony has titled Bad Boys 3 as Bad Boys For Life, Entertainment Weekly confirmed. The name change comes with the project moving closer to reality with a Jan. 12, 2018 release in mind, a source tells EW.

The new title is a fitting throwback to 2003’s Bad Boys II where star Will Smith tells his cop partner Martin Lawrence, “We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life.” (See the clip, below.) The two will reprise the roles they debuted in 1995’s Bad Boys — Michael Bay directed that movie and the sequel. The Grey‘s Joe Carnahan is in the director’s chair for Bad Boys For Life, not Bay.

Bad Boys For Life has had three different release dates in the last year, originally set for Feb. 17, 2017 before shifting to June 2, 2017. Now, it’s back to a winter window.
