Jennifer Hudson & Common CONFIRM Their Romance in the Most Heartwarming Way
It sounds like Jennifer Hudson found a man who loves, and cherishes and cares for her.
The 42-year-old seemingly confirmed her relationship with Common in a swoonworthy conversation in front of the camera. In fact, after he delivered her a bouquet on the Jan. 22 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, she jokingly asked him, “Are you dating anyone?”Â
And Common didn’t hold back when it comes to gushing about the woman in his life.Â
“I’m in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I’ve met in life,” he admitted. “She’s smart, she loves God, she has something real down to earth about her. She’s talented.”
And while he didn’t name Jennifer, Common subtly mentioned her career highlights, including her 2007 Oscar win for Dream Girls and becoming an EGOT winnerârecipient of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tonyâin 2022.Â
“I set my standard kind of high,” the 51-year-old noted. “She had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. She had to get her own talk show.”
As if his sweet words for Jennifer wasn’t enough, “The Light” rapper, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, made it clear he’s over the moon about his love. As he put it, “This relationship is a happy place for me.”
“For me, it’s one of those things where I found where seeing her happy actually makes me really happy,” the John Wick: Chapter 2 actorâwho coparents daughter Omoye Assata Lynn, 27 age, with ex Kim Jonesâreflected. “I’m very grateful. I thank God every day and I’m just letting God guide this relationship.”
The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in July 2022, were spotted holding hands in November following jazz singer Mikel Mwalimu-Banks’ one-night-only performance at Joe’s Pub in New York City.
And just two days later, the “If This Isn’t Love” singerâwho shares son David, 14, with ex David Otungaâconfirmed her relationship status.
“I am very happy, yes, ma’am,” she told CBS This Morning’s Gayle King, adding that her relationship status is “more sophisticated than boo’ed up” at the moment.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
The Grammy winner saw sparks fly with the Kansas City Chiefs football player during the cruel summer of 2023.
âThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,â she told TIME in December 2023. âWe started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which Iâm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.â
