Nationwide — Jennifer Hudson recently left her audience intrigued on The Jennifer Hudson Show when she playfully addressed her boyfriend, Common, about his recent remarks on marriage. The couple, who have been together since 2022, sparked further speculation about their future after Hudson brought up the topic during the Oct. 3 episode, drawing attention to Common’s comments made earlier in the year.During a summer interview on The Breakfast Club, Common praised their “really healthy and beautiful relationship,” even stating, “If I’m going to get married, it’s to her,” referring to Hudson. This candid admission prompted Hudson to cheekily confront him on air, asking, “I heard you’ve been out there talking about marriage. What’s that about?” with a knowing smile.
According to WBLS, Common, not one to shy away from his feelings, responded earnestly, referencing advice Hudson’s mother once shared. “You told me your mother said, ‘A man knows what he wants,’” Common recalled. “I was just being honest about my feelings. If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson.”
The couple confirmed their relationship earlier this year on Hudson’s show, and their bond has since become a fan favorite. Common, who has been linked to other high-profile women such as Erykah Badu and Serena Williams in the past, seems to have found something particularly meaningful with Hudson.
In a sweet moment during his recent appearance, Common surprised Hudson with a series of gifts, including a personalized blanket embroidered with the title of her upcoming holiday album, The Gift of Love. Teasingly, he remarked, “Jennifer likes gifts,” while Hudson expressed her appreciation, even revealing that Common helped her choose the album’s title.
With their relationship continuing to blossom, Hudson’s playful questioning about marriage has left fans excited, wondering if wedding bells might be on the horizon for the beloved couple.
