Few couples in Tinseltown have the prestige of Jennifer Hudson and Common. Jennifer is part of the elite EGOT club, having snagged an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. And she did it all by the age of 40! Common, her equally talented beau, boasts his own array of trophies – three Grammys, an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Golden Globe. Together, they make a formidable pair.
“That relationship is one of the greatest blessings and most important things in my life,” Common shared in a heartfelt podcast chat.
Their romance went public in 2024, but their chemistry sparked during the filming of "Breathe" in 2022, where they played a married couple. Despite dodging dating rumors back then, it’s clear their connection was brewing long before they officially announced it.
Their public debut as a couple was on The Jennifer Hudson Show. When Jennifer cheekily asked Common if he was dating anyone, he hinted at their relationship with a charming compliment. The pair’s connection was undeniable, having been seen together often since their film project wrapped.
Since going public, the duo has been more open, sharing glimpses of their romance on social media. Despite the spotlight, they’ve managed to keep certain aspects of their relationship private.
As of now, Jennifer and Common aren’t engaged, but wedding bells might be in the air. Rumors suggest Common is ready to pop the question, having dropped several hints. Both stars have expressed a desire to marry, with Common humorously noting that if he were to marry, it’d be to Jennifer.
Though they haven’t walked down the aisle yet, their relationship seems headed in that direction. If they tie the knot, it would be the first marriage for both. Jennifer was previously engaged to David Otunga, while Common was once engaged to Kim Jones.
Jennifer, who shares custody of her son with ex-fiancé David Otunga, isn’t currently expecting another child. Common, too, has a daughter from a past relationship. Though they have children from previous relationships, the couple remains focused on their careers and each other.
With Jennifer’s net worth at $30 million and Common’s at $45 million, they’re not only rich in love but also in assets. Whether they’re acting, singing, or hosting, this couple continues to captivate fans worldwide.
