Common Praises Jennifer Hudson as Life Partner and Vocal Legend in New Interview
Common is letting the world know just how much he loves his lady, Jennifer Hudson.
During a recent episode of the “Mama I Made It!” podcast, hosted by 2x Emmy Award-winning News Anchor and reporter for ABC 7 Chicago, Samantha Chatman, the actor appeared and gushed over Hudson, who he’s been dating since 2023.
He called their relationship one of his “greatest blessings.”
"The friendship, the partnership, the life partnership, just the connection, it's one of those things where you don't know truly what true partnership and relationship is until you get there," the Academy Award-winner told the host.
"It's like those things you pray for and you don't get them until you're ready. Whatever growing I had to do, it was the divine time in alignment when Jennifer and I started like being interested in each other.”
He continued, praising the talk show host’s talents and calling her “one of the greatest vocalists of all-time.”
“It's inspiring to have somebody who's as talented and just soulful and gifted and can do all these different things and is one of the greatest vocalists of all time,” he said.
“When you get there, you recognize what it is. And I hold her up high and God willing, I keep praying for that–we just continue to be at our best with each other. I've traveled all over the world and I've been in relationships and met with, you know, they've been good relationships. I'm not taking away from anybody I've dated before. But, this Chicago woman–[there's] something there like that we ... we can relate to certain things.”
