Jennifer Hudson is still playing coy about her romance with Common — but still couldn’t help but compliment her rumoured beau.
The singer/actress/talk show was recently asked by paparazzi about whether or not she’d like to address speculation that she and Common are a couple, in video obtained by TMZ.

Back in 2017, Hudson called off her engagement to David Otunga after 10 years together. The exes share a 13-year-old son, David.
Meanwhile, Common, who has previously been linked to Erykah Badu, Taraji P. Henson and Serena Williams, most recently split from Tiffany Haddish in late 2021.
In a recent profile for The Washington Post, Haddish spoke highly of her relationship with the rapper-turned-actor, calling it “the healthiest, the funnest relationship I’ve ever had.”
