Jennifer Hudson Remains Silent About Dating Common
Jennifer Hudson stayed mum when asked if she and rapper Common are dating. The 41-year-old talk show host was cornered by TMZ, who complimented her, saying that she and the 51-year-old rapper make a "cute couple," to which she responded, "Thank you!"
Later in the video, Hudson was asked to confirm if the two were dating and she wouldn't. However, when asked if they would ever collaborate together on music--she said that the idea was a good one.
Hudson told the outlet that "rumors say a lot of things." But, she did also say, "He (Common) is a beautiful man," she said, "I will give you that. That's for certain."
The Academy Award winners first sparked relationship rumors in February when they were seen leaving Nobu in Malibu.
When asked about that night out, Hudson said earlier this year, "People create their narratives of it, and it’s like, OK, you know, how you feel," she continued. "We shot a film together, and he played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments."
A source told The Daily Mail that the writings are on the wall. “There has been speculation for months regarding whether they are together, but the fact they’ve traveled all the way to London together just shows they’re very much an item."
Last month, while appearing on Today, Al Roker asked Common about dating rumors, which garnered a huge smile and chuckle from him. Not addressing if they are an item, he said, “I’ll say, speaking of Chicago, she’s a Chicagoan, this amazing human being — I’ve always been inspired by her,” he replied. “She’s one of the most beautiful people I ever met on the planet. Incredible heart, and she’s just dope, man…seeing her evolve from an actress and singing, she’s doing so many things and now her talk show, she’s amazing, she’s inspiring. I’m grateful to know her.”
