Common Opens Up About Relationship with Jennifer Hudson on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’

Rumors have been swirling for months about the potential romance between rapper and actor Common, 51, and EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson, 42. The speculations might finally be put to rest as Common is set to be a guest on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show‘ on Monday, where he is expected to discuss his love life.

In a promotional clip released on Sunday, Jennifer Hudson playfully presses Common about his dating life. Questioning whether he is dating anyone, Common acknowledges being in a relationship with one of the most beautiful people he has ever met. He goes on to describe her qualities, including being smart, down to earth, talented, and having won an Academy Award on her first movie. Common sets the bar high for his ideal partner, also mentioning that she should have her own talk show, alluding to Jennifer Hudson herself.

While the couple has been discreet about their relationship, Common appeared on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ in June and shared his admiration for the talk show host. He described her as an amazing human being, one of the most beautiful people he has ever met, and praised her incredible heart.

During his appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ Common addressed the clip and emphasized that he is typically very private about his personal relationships. However, he indicated that being on Hudson’s show allowed for some fun and openness. He expressed that he is the ‘marrying type’ and would consider tying the knot at the right time in his life.

While some fans have been supportive of the relationship, others remain skeptical, citing Common’s dating history and questioning his commitment. Common has been linked with comedian Tiffany Haddish, ‘The Color Purple’ star Cynthia Erivo, and sports legend Serena Williams. Haddish previously stated that their breakup was not mutual, contradicting Common’s earlier statements.

As anticipation builds for Common’s interview on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ where it is expected that the couple will confirm their relationship, fans eagerly await more details about the unexpected pairing.
