Common is open to marrying Jennifer Hudson.
The rapper admitted his relationship with the Dreamgirls star is different to his previous romances. He said that they have a particularly special “connection” both spiritually and because they were both raised in Chicago.
“If I’m going to get married, it’s to her. This is definitely — with all due respect to all the women I’ve dated ’cause it’s all love — but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship. When you’re with somebody who’s from where you’re from, it’s a different kind of connection, too, ” he said on “The Breakfast Club.”
The “Invocation” hitmaker has been romantically linked with Hudson since July 2022. They didn’t confirm their romance until he appeared on the star’s eponymous talk show in January.
“I’m in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I’ve met in life. She’s smart; she loves God; she has something real down to earth about her. She’s talented. I set my standard kind of high. She had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. She had to get her own talk show,” Common said on the show.
“This relationship is a happy place for me,” he continued. “For me, it’s one of those things where I found where seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. I’m very grateful. I thank God every day, and I’m just letting God guide this relationship.”
This isn’t the first time the Selma actor has admitted Hudson — who has David, 14, with former fiance David Otunga — has opened him up to the idea of getting married.
“I feel like I have grown, and the work that I have done on myself has allowed me to see that I am a marrying type. I’m capable, and I have the capacity. If at some point in my life I may want to do that, I would know when the right time is,” he told “Today” earlier this year.
