Recently, social media has been abuzz with speculation about whether Jennifer Hudson is pregnant. The rumors gained traction after a promotional video from Essence showcased the 43-year-old singer and actress in various outfits, including an oversized white shirt and a form-fitting black dress. Fans quickly began to speculate about a possible baby bump, particularly in light of her relationship with rapper and actor Common.

Social media reactions

In the comment section of the promotional video posted on Essence’s Instagram, viewers expressed their thoughts on Hudson’s appearance. Comments ranged from enthusiastic confirmations of her pregnancy to skepticism about the assumptions being made. One user noted, “She [is] definitely pregnant … black, oversized clothes, hands covering the stomach,” while another remarked, “Jennifer looks pregnant. Face glowing.” However, not everyone was convinced, with some users reminding others that women’s bodies change over time, especially at Hudson’s age.
