In what appears to be a confirmation of their relationship, Common and Jennifer Hudson were spotted enjoying a “romantic weekend” together in London. The couple reportedly flew across the pond to watch the Tony-winning musical, “A Strange Loop.” While they arrived separately, they were seen posing for pictures backstage with the cast members, fueling speculation about their romance. A source revealed that their joint trip to London solidifies their status as a couple, stating, “They arrived to the show individually to avoid any commotion but away from prying eyes, they were very much in each other’s company.”
A Blossoming Relationship
Rumors of Common and Hudson dating began circulating in March after she posted a heartfelt birthday message to him on Instagram. The “Respect” star also shared a cozy photo of the two together, which Common later reposted on his own social media. While their recent London getaway seems to confirm their romantic involvement, representatives for both Hudson and Common have not responded to requests for comment.
The pair has been friends for a while and previously collaborated on the upcoming film “Breathe.” During an appearance on the “Today” show, Common was asked about their rumored romance, to which he responded with admiration for Hudson’s talents and character. He described her as an amazing human being and expressed his gratitude for knowing her.
Common, known for his high-profile relationships with women such as Erykah Badu, Taraji P. Henson, Serena Williams, and Angela Rye, most recently dated “Girls Trip” star Tiffany Haddish.

On the other hand, Hudson was previously engaged to David Otunga, with whom she shares a 13-year-old son named David Jr. They ended their engagement in 2017.
