Jennifer Hudson is taking a moment to appreciate the presence of Common in her life. The talk show host, 45, talks fondly of her relationship with rapper during a recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Shenielle. Hudson and Common, real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, have been romantically linked since 2022.
"It's been divine, every bit of that," she said when asked about their relationship. She explained that one of the things she values most is having a partner she can connect with on multiple levels. "To have somebody who you can relate to on so many different levels and then to be able to have some support," she shared.
The singer also recalled asking Common to perform at Madison Square Garden, where he joined her for one of her favorite songs, Glory. "He blessed us with that," she said. The couple's partnership also comes in handy behind the scenes.
Hudson, who has hosted The Jennifer Hudson Show since 2022, joked that having someone who can step in when needed is another perk of their relationship. "It's nice to have somebody else to call," she shared. " 'Do you mind hosting the show for me today?' 'Cause he can talk.".
