AceShowbiz - Common, 52, might have shocked Jennifer Hudson, 43, with his recent marriage musings. During a summer interview with "The Breakfast Club", Common praised their "really healthy and beautiful relationship," expressing, "If I'm going to get married, it's to her."
This candid admission didn't go unnoticed by Hudson. She took the opportunity to bring it up during the October 3 episode of "The Jennifer Hudson Show" when Common appeared to promote his new album, "The Auditorium Vol. 1", alongside Pete Rock. She confronted him with, "I heard you've been even out there talking about marriage. What's that about? I just happened to notice that."
Common held his ground, responding, "You know what, you told me a quote that your mother said, 'A man knows what he wants.' I was saying my true feelings about, listen, Jennifer is the person. If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson. I was just being honest."
The couple confirmed their relationship on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" back in January after sparking dating rumors in August 2022. Since then, their bond has only grown stronger, evidenced by their supportive and thoughtful gestures towards each other.
During the October 3 show, Common showed his affection through gifts, playing into Hudson's love for presents. He handed her a hummingbird-shaped piece of jewelry, met with her delighted reaction, "I feel like it's still my birthday." Her special day was just recently celebrated on September 12.
The surprises didn't stop there. Common also presented Hudson with a blanket embroidered with the title of her upcoming holiday album, "The Gift of Love". Overjoyed, Hudson revealed, "You helped me name it. He helped me name my album." This loving gesture points to their deep creative and personal connection.
Common's album, "The Auditorium Vol. 1", is already out while Hudson's "The Gift of Love" is slated for an October 18 release. Fans have even more reason to look forward to Hudson's album with Common featuring on the original song, "Almost Christmas." Their studio collaboration offer another layer to their partnership.
As these two stars continue to shine both individually and together, their relationship and respective careers are a beacon of creativity, love, and mutual support. Young fans can look up to Common and Hudson as icons of balancing professional ambitions with personal happiness.
