Common opens about his relationship with Jennifer Hudson.
During a recent interview Common talks his connection with fellow Chicagoan J. Hud. “I’m going to be real real with you, like, having a lady just from Chicago allows me to go home and just be home.”
He continued: “And I hadn’t did that in a while where I was just going home and just being around my love ones and didn’t have no work to do, and that, man, I ain’t going to front, that helped me with this album because just going to your roots, you got to always recharge and replug, and plug into them roots no matter how much you’ve elevated you still got to go to them roots.”
“With all due respect to all the women I’ve dated… it’s all love, but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship…”
Common goes on to say that J. Hud will wear his last name if it’s in the cards for them. “If I’m going to get married, it’s to her. That’s simple as that.”
The two seemingly confirmed their relationship when the “Go” rapper joined Hudson on her talk show. While discussing relationships, he expresses, “I’m in a relationship… with one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life,” he said without naming her. “She’s smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she’s talented.”
“This relationship is a happy place for me,” Common answered. “Seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. So, I’m very grateful. I thank God each and every day, and I’m just letting God guide this relationship.”
