Common and Jennifer Hudson are now prepared to openly announce their romance after months of speculation.
When Common appears as a guest on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” on January 22, it’s likely that he will discuss his romantic relationships.
A scene from the episode that was posted on the program’s official Instagram account on January 21 features Hudson teasingly asking Common about romance.
“Mr. Common, let’s get down to business,” Hudson remarks in jest. Since I’m the host, I feel compelled to ask you this because it’s a question that people are always curious about. Do you have a partner?
The 51-year-old rapper giggles nervously, to the screams and cheers of the audience.
He answers, “So, yeah.” Additionally, I’m in a relationship with one of the most stunning individuals I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

As he goes on to mention particular attributes that verify he is praising the singer and Academy Award-winning actor, the audience cheers.
“She is intelligent. She is devoted to God. There’s something genuinely grounded about her. She is gifted. But because she needed to win an EGOT, I kind of raised my bar,” he continues. “Her first film had to be an Oscar winner. I have great expectations for myself. She needed to have a talk show of her own.
Hudson, 42, responded, “Oh, OK,” then endearingly giggled before the video stopped after hearing him compliment her.
On January 22, Common spoke about his reaction to Hudson’s query during an interview on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.
He remarked, “It’s great to be on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ and we had a little fun.” “I thought to myself, why not just be true to who I am and who we are, with love and honesty? It was pleasant to feel.
He continued by saying that he tends to be a private guy who keeps some things “sacred.”
Therefore, whatever connections I may have remain private, but ultimately, we were just actors in a play. We enjoyed ourselves,” he went on.

Common laughed before responding to Hoda Kotb’s questions on if he’s the “marrying type” and whether his present relationship could be the “one.”
“I think I’ve changed, and the self-work I’ve done has helped me realise that I’m the marrying type. I am the kind of person who, should the need arise in the future, would know when it is appropriate to do it since I am capable and have the potential to do so.
“Everything is divine to me,” he continued. “I operate based on the discernment that God speaks; if He speaks to your stomach and you sense it in your heart and spirit, then I will speak with that person and, if she is experiencing the same thing, then why not?”
The entire interview with him on the “Jennifer Hudson Show” is scheduled to air on January 22. It appears that they will talk more about their connection.
“We’ve all been waiting for this moment! Watch tomorrow to hear the reply from @iamjhud! The photo was captioned on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” Instagram account.
In the comments, fans praised Common and Hudson’s relationship.
Someone said, “She was trying so hard not to blush.” This is really cute! I’m delighted for them.
“THIS WAS A SMOOTH ANNOUNCEMENT!!” exclaimed someone else.

The two have been quiet about their romance for months, despite months of rumours that they were dating. When Common visited TODAY in June, Al Roker questioned him about the “Dreamgirls” actress.
Common offered yet another round of endearing remarks at the moment, although he refrained from saying whether or not they were dating.
Speaking of Chicago, he exclaimed, “I’ll say that I’ve always been inspired by her. She’s this amazing human being from Chicago.” She is among the most stunning individuals I have ever laid eyes on. Amazing heart, plus she’s really hot, dude.
He went on, “Watching her grow from being an actress and singer to just doing so many different things, and now her talk show.” She is incredible and motivating. I’m happy to have met her.
Tiffany Haddish and Common had dated in the past. Their parting “wasn’t mutual,” as he had previously suggested, she stated in a July 2023 interview with The Washington Post. They had parted in 2021.
Omoye Assata Lynn, his daughter, was born to him and his ex-partner Kim Jones.
