The
42-year-old
was
all
smiles
during
her
appearance
on CBS
This
Morning
on
Nov.
6,
and
a
certain
rapper
is
the
reason
why.
After
a
year
of
speculation
about
Jennifer
and
Common,
the
singer
revealed
that
she’s
officially
in
a
relationship.
Gayle
King
asked
about
what
everyone
wants
to
know:
the
talk
show
host’s
love
life.
“Word
on
the
street
is
that
you’re
very
happy?”
Gayle
asked.
“I
am
very
happy,”
Jennifer
confirmed.
“Very
nice
relationship,”
Gayle
continued,
to
which
Jennifer
confirmed,
“Yes,
ma’am.”
“With
someone
who
shall
remain
nameless,”
Gayle
teased
about
her
new
love.
The American
Idol
alum
didn’t
need
to
say
much
because
everyone’s
been
talking
about
her
looking
cozy
with
Common.
The
two
Chicago
natives
have
been
friends
and
worked
together
for
years.
They
recently
got
much
closer
while
filming
their
upcoming
action-thriller
Breathe in
2022.
“So
you’re
boo’ed
up?”
asked
co-host
Nate
Burleson.
“Booed
up?
I
think
it’s
more
sophisticated
than
boo’ed
up,”
Jennifer
joked.
“It’s
definitely
not
an
entanglement.
That’s
for
sure,”
she
added.
It’s
giving
matching
PJs
by
Christmas.
According
to
People,
cameras
spotted
the
couple
on
another
date
night
Saturday
at
Joe’s
Pub
theater
in
New
York
City.
Jennifer
and
Common
held
hands
on
Saturday
while
attending
a
performance
for
jazz
singer
Mikel
Mwalimu-Banksat.
They
even
wore
coordinated
outfits
in
black,
white,
and
cream.
This
week
marks
the
first
time
the
EGOT
winner
didn’t
shut
down
the
dating
rumors.
In
September
2022,
she
told
Entertainment
Tonight that
Common
was
only
her
work
husband.
“People
create
their
narratives
of
it
and
it’s
like,
OK,
you
know,
how
you
feel.
We
shot
a
film
together
and
he
played
my
husband.
We
gotta
eat
in
between
those
moments,”
she
explained.
Some
social
media
reactions
are
already
counting
down
on
how
long
they’ll
last
because
of
Common’s
reputation
as
a
player.
In
April,
Common’s
ex,
Tiffany
Haddish,
threw
shade
at
the
couple,
joking
that
he
probably
gave
earrings
intended
for
her
to
Jennifer.
The
comedian
claimed
in
August
that
Common
mysteriously
started
to
ghost
her
after
she
thought
he
was
“the
one.”
She
explained
that
their
split
“wasn’t
mutual,”
and
the
“Used
To
Love
H.E.R.”
lyricist
broke
up
with
her
over
the
phone.
Hopefully,
the
new
couple
has
a
much
happier
ending
than
that.
What
do
you
think
about
Jennifer
Hudson
and
Common
coupling
up?
