The much-speculated romance between Common and Jennifer Hudson seems to have received a subtle confirmation, leaving fans excited about the budding relationship.
In a preview for an upcoming episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, the alleged couple dropped hints that fueled the rumors swirling around their connection.
The moment unfolded as Jennifer Hudson, the show’s host, playfully introduced the Chicago native with a spontaneous freestyle before Common made his entrance, bearing a bouquet of flowers.
The teasing atmosphere set the stage for Hudson to dive into the topic that has been on everyone’s minds.
“Now, we gotta get down to business, Mr. Common. I’m a host, and so I have to ask you this question ’cause everybody always wanna know this — are you dating anyone?” inquired Hudson with a smile. Common, responding with laughter, admitted to being in a relationship.
“I’m in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life,” he shared. “She’s smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she’s talented.” The rapper even threw in a lighthearted comment about wanting his lady to be an EGOT winner.
Jennifer Hudson achieved the coveted EGOT status in 2022 when she won a Tony Award for producing A Strange Loop.
When Common turned the tables and asked Hudson the same question, she expressed how “very happy” the relationship had made her.
“This relationship is a happy place for me,” Common told Hudson. “Seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. So, I’m very grateful. I thank God each and every day, and I’m just letting God guide this relationship.”
The speculation about their relationship began in 2022 when the duo was spotted together in their hometown of Chicago.
More recently, Common and Jennifer Hudson were seen enjoying a Los Angeles Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena, adding fuel to the ongoing rumors surrounding their alleged romance.
