Jennifer Hudson was recently seen walking hand in hand with Common.
On Saturday, the talk show host and rapper was photographed attending a special one-night-only event at Joe’s Pub in honor of well-known jazz vocalist Mikel Mwalimu-Banks.
Hudson, 42, and Common, 51, were seen holding hands as they entered the New York City concert venue.
Hudson kept her look casual by wearing a white jacket over an all-black ensemble and black-and-white sneakers. To match his partner’s mood, Common dressed in khaki cargo pants and a white button-down jacket.
Hudson was asked about her relationship during an interview on CBS Mornings on Monday, two days after the couple was photographed.
Gayle King inquired about Hudson’s “very nice relationship with someone who shall remain nameless.”
“I am very happy, yes, ma’am. Boo’ed up? I think it’s more sophisticated than boo’ed up… Definitely not an entanglement. That’s for sure,” Hudson answered, grinning at King and her co-hosts’ smiles.
Hudson and Common have fueled dating rumors since they were first spotted together in July 2022, despite Hudson not announcing her partner’s identity.
On the set of the upcoming action-thriller Breathe, the two hit it off.
Last September, Hudson addressed the romance rumors, telling ET, “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,” she added. “We gotta eat in between those moments.”
