LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Although Jennifer Hudson continues to keep mum about her relationship with Common, she couldn't help but compliment the man who is rumored to be her love interest. In a video acquired by TMZ, the 'Dream Girls' star, 41, was recently asked by photographers if she wanted to address rumors that she and the 51-year-old rapper are dating. "The rumors say a lot of things," Hudson said, deftly deflecting the pressing topic, before adding with a smile, "He's a beautiful man, I will give you that."
The couple, who met while filming the upcoming action-thriller 'Breathe' which is due out in 2024, initially sparked dating rumors in July 2022 when they were seen out and about together, said ET. However, Hudson addressed the romance claims two months later, saying, "People create their narratives of it and it’s like, OK, you know, how you feel," she told. "We shot a film together and he played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments."
Who is Jennifer Hudson dating?
Hudson was born to perform in front of millions of people. But while she isn't afraid to be authentic and direct, she keeps her personal life, particularly her love life, under wraps. Even though the celebrity has been active in the music industry since her time on 'American Idol' more than ten years ago, she has come into her own since 2022, debuting her own morning talk show. The talk show host formerly dated David Otunga for ten years, beginning 2007. Although they got engaged in 2008 and had a son together, David Daniel Otunga Jr, the following year, they never got married and separated in 2017. Meanwhile, Common, who has previously been linked to Erykah Badu, Taraji P Henson, and Serena Williams, announced the end of his relationship with Tiffany Haddish in late 2021.
Hudson has since been linked to rapper Common, whose actual name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, fueling relationship rumors following multiple excursions together in 2022 and 2023. They were seen eating together at the celebrity hotspot Nobu Malibu near Los Angeles in February. The two multi-hyphenates were initially linked to each other in early 2022 when they were sighted together in Philadelphia and then in Chicago, reported Hello!
What are they up to?
Jennifer has completed work on the action thriller 'Breathe'. She co-stars in the thriller with Mila Jovovich, Sam Worthington, and Common. The film's story is about a mother and daughter fighting for survival in a world where oxygen is scarce. The film will be released in 2024. Common, 51, has been preparing to embark on the Hip Hop 50 Live tour alongside Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, The Roots, and a slew of other artists, said Daily Mail.
