AceShowbiz - Jennifer Hudson is no longer hiding her romance with Common. Just days before confirming that she's currently in a "very nice relationship," the "Respect" actress was spotted holding hands with the rapper/actor.
On Saturday, November 4, the 42-year-old songstress and the emcee attended a performance honoring jazz singer Mikel Mwalimu-Banksat at Joe's Pub theater in New York City. In a photo surfacing online, the lovebirds were seen walking hand-in-hand.
For the outfit, Jennifer looked comfy in a white jacket that she paired with black pants and matching heels. Common, in the meantime, opted to go with a cream button-up, khaki-colored cargo pants and white sneakers.
Two days after the outing, Jennifer confirmed that she was no longer single. "I am very happy, yes, ma'am. Boo'ed up? I think it's more sophisticated than boo'ed up ... Definitely not an entanglement. That's for sure," the chart-topping star told "CBS Mornings".
Jennifer and Common, whose real name is Lonnie Lynn Jr., were first linked to each other in 2022 when they were spotted out and about together. The celebrity duo previously worked together on the movie "Breathe", and Jennifer even addressed the rumors in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
In response to the speculation, the "American Idol" alum shared, "People create their narratives of it and it's like, OK, you know, how you feel." She added, "We shot a film together and he played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments."
