In a preview clip of Monday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Common and Hudson apparently confirmed their rumored relationship. Not only did the rapper give her flowers, but he alluded to their union when asked by Hudson.

“Now, we gotta get down to business, Mr. Common. I’m a host and so I have to ask you this question ’cause everybody always wanna know this — are you dating anyone?” she inquired.

The latter has had a string of relationships with high profile celebrities including Erykah Badu (whom he has described as his “first love”), Taraji P. Henson, Serena Williams, Angela Rye and Tiffany Haddish.

In the past, Common has called himself a “love addict.” However, could it be that he is simply for the streets?

During an interview with “The Breakfast Club” back in 2020, Common stated that he’s been working on his issues in therapy. “The pattern I found myself in—and my therapist broke it down—was the feeling of being in love and that honeymoon period. I was addicted to that feeling,” he explained.

“When that feeling would go away and the real part of the relationships came, I was like, ‘OK. Do I want this or not?’ I wasn’t ready to do the work.” Whatever happens in this latest pairing, we just hope the entertainers are making the best of it.
