Jennifer Hudson left fans intrigued on a recent episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she questioned her boyfriend, Common, about his recent comments on marriage. The pair, who have been dating since 2022, sparked more speculation about their future together after Hudson playfully confronted Common on the topic.
During the Oct. 3 episode, Hudson brought up a remark Common made over the summer in an interview on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about their “really healthy and beautiful relationship.” He went further, saying, “If I’m going to get married, it’s to her,” referring to Hudson.
Hudson seized the opportunity to address the marriage talk on air. “I heard you’ve been out there talking about marriage. What’s that about?” she asked, a slight grin on her face.
In response, Common reiterated his feelings. “You know what, you told me a quote that your mother said, ‘A man knows what he wants,’” he began, turning to Hudson. “I was just saying my true feelings about, listen, Jennifer is the person.” He added, “If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson. I was just being honest.”
