New Couple Alert: Common and Jennifer Hudson?
Well, it seems Common has moved on from his partying ex girlfriend to someone a little more… uh “wholesome” – fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. Or at least, that’s what he hinted at while a guest on her talk show recently. Via Today:
In a clip from the episode shared on the show’s official Instagram account Jan. 21, Hudson cheekily presses Common to discuss romance.
“Let’s get down to business, Mr. Common,” Hudson playfully says. “I’m a host, and so I have to ask you this question, because everybody always wants to know this. Are you dating anyone?”
The audience squeals and cheers as the 51-year-old rapper nervously giggles.
He replies, “So, yes. And I’m in a relationship that is (with) one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, in life.”
The crowd applauds while he continues to list specific qualities that confirm he is complimenting the singer and Academy Award-winning actor.
“She’s smart. She loves God. She has something real down-to-earth about her. She’s talented. But I set my standard kind of high because she had to have an EGOT,” he adds. “She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. I set my standard high. She had to get her own talk show.”
After hearing him praise her, Hudson, 42, said, “Oh, OK,” and adorably giggled before the video ended.
