Jennifer Hudson finally addressed the long-standing speculation surrounding her rumored romance with Common, and while she didn’t explicitly confirm their relationship status, she had nothing but kind words for the rapper. During a brief encounter with TMZ, the Oscar-winning actress and singer, aged 41, shared a sweet compliment about Common, who is 51 years old. However, she remained coy about whether they are actually dating.
When asked about the ongoing romance rumors, Jennifer gracefully brushed off the question but couldn’t resist complimenting Common. “Rumors say a lot of things, but he’s a beautiful man,” she stated. “I will give you that.”
The conversation then shifted to the possibility of a musical collaboration between the two artists. While Jennifer sounded uncertain about the idea, she acknowledged that it would be a fantastic collaboration. “It’d be dope to see two Chicagoans together, but I don’t know about that,” she said.
The rumors about Jennifer Hudson and Common’s relationship began in September 2022 when they were seen together in Philadelphia, where they were working on the upcoming movie “Breathe,” portraying a husband and wife on screen. Jennifer addressed the rumors at that time, clarifying that their interactions were due to their work on the film and the need to eat between takes.
Despite her efforts to downplay the speculations, further intrigue arose when Common was spotted picking Jennifer up from a taping of her talk show, “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” in November. In March, Jennifer shared a heartwarming photo of the two on social media, accompanied by a sweet birthday message for the rapper, referring to him as a “bright light” and a “Chicago and hip hop legend.”
