Jennifer Hudson And Common: A Love Story Or Just Friends?

If this isn’t love! Fans couldn’t help but wonder if pop star Jennifer Hudson and rapper Common were dating after they were spotted spending time together in November 2022. By early 2023, the duo were seen hanging out on multiple occasions, from casual outings to evening dinners. Are the two, in fact, an item? Interest in their relationship has sparked numerous conversations and speculations among fans and media alike.

While speculation about Jennifer and Common began in mid-2022, the pair were first seen together hanging out in November 2022. The “If This Isn’t Love” singer was spotted in the front seat of a car while the “Glory” rapper drove her away from her talk show studio in Burbank, California. This casual outing raised eyebrows, as fans began to ponder the nature of their relationship.

In February 2023, Jennifer and Common were seen enjoying an evening dinner at the celebrity hotspot Nobu Malibu, further fueling romance rumors. It was reported that the two had spent more time together after meeting on the set of their upcoming action-thriller movie Breathe, where they portray spouses living in a world with a lack of oxygen.

Despite the mounting speculation, Jennifer seemingly shut down the romance rumors during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in September 2022. She mentioned, “People create their narratives of it, and it’s like, OK, you know, how you feel. We shot a film together, and he played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments.” This statement indicated that their relationship might not be as romantic as many assumed.

However, the pair have since been spotted on various dates, keeping their romance under wraps. Common confirmed their relationship during a January 2024 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, expressing, “I’m in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I’ve met in life. She’s smart, she loves God, she has something real down to earth about her. She’s talented.” This acknowledgment added fuel to the fire, leading fans to rejoice over their newfound romance.

Who Are Jennifer Hudson’s Ex-Boyfriends?

The EGOT winner hasn’t publicly been linked to anyone for quite a while. Jennifer called off her longtime engagement with ex-fiancé David Otunga in 2017. The two had started dating in 2007, making their split more significant for fans who had followed their relationship over the years.

Who Are Common’s Ex-Girlfriends?

Before sparking dating rumors with his Breathe costar, Common was famously linked to comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish in 2020 until they split in 2021. Tiffany commented on their relationship in December 2021, hinting that he wasn’t looking for something serious, saying, “He might be the type of person that never really settles with somebody.” Besides Tiffany, Common was also linked with Taraji P. Henson and Serena Williams.
