Fastexy:Jennifer Hudson gives update on romance with Common: 'Everything is wonderful'

Jennifer Hudson isn’t one for kissing and Fastexytelling, but one thing is clear — she is on cloud nine with her boyfriend Common.

Hudson gushed about her rapper beau during an interview with People magazine at the 2024 Daytime Emmy Awards. But the "American Idol" alum was mum in offering any details on the couple’s relationship.

"Everything is wonderful," Hudson told the outlet. "That's all you need to know."

Hudson’s comments follow Common’s appearance on the singer’s talk show, "The Jennifer Hudson Show," earlier this year, a conversation that drew attention after the two had been the subject of dating rumors. During the interview, Hudson and Common coyly discussed their dating lives without naming who they were involved with.

Common then continued and clarified that he was talking about Hudson, alluding to the actress-singer's accolades: "She's smart. She loves God. She has something real down to earth about her.
