The 55-year-old spared no expense in asking Moradfar to marry him, with the engagement ring reportedly costing $500,000.
Some celebrities that graced the wedding ceremony include Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Tisha Campbell, and boxer Pernell Whitaker. Singers, Brian McKnight, Richard Smallwood, and Tichina Arnold, also performed at the wedding.
However, the marriage didn't last more than two years, with the ex-couple ending the relationship in 1997, before Southall married Emmitt Smith three years after in 2000.
Martin Lawrence didn't remarry until 2010 when he tied the knot with Shamicka Gibbs, his longtime girlfriend. However, that union also lasted two years, with the couple separating in 2012.
The actor and comedian hasn't married since then but is currently engaged to Roberta Moradfar. The 55-year-old spared no expense in asking Moradfar to marry him, with the engagement ring reportedly costing $500,000.
Moradfar is a businesswoman and describes herself as an Advanced Aesthetics Nurse Practitioner. She owns and operates a cosmetic spa named Efface Aesthetics, located in Santa Monica.
