Jennifer Hudson and Common are clearly still going strong!
The daytime talk-show host, 44, recently opened up about why their power-couple relationship makes so much sense — and why the Oscar-winning rapper, 53, is such a positive presence in her life.
E! News caught up with Hudson at the latest Daytime Emmy Awards, where she didn't hold back in making clear that their romance continues to thrive.
"Our Chicago roots is a huge part of it," the Dreamgirls Oscar winner told E! News on Friday, Oct. 17. "We're just similar souls and spirits. He's such a beautiful person, and I just respect him for just who he is, how he is."
The American Idol alum continued, "He's a blessing, a light. That man is a light."
Hudson was up for two nominations at Friday's ceremony: Daytime Talk Series Host and Daytime Talk Series.
Before officially confirming their relationship on her talk show in January 2024, Hudson had worked with Common in 2022 on the film Breathe, in which they portrayed a married couple. It was then that the dating rumors began swirling.
The co-stars were frequently spotted out and about together in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Chicago in the months following filming, though they respectively played coy about the nature of their relationship.
If they do get hitched at some point, it would be the first marriage for both performers.
Another celebrity pair that went on to date after first working together on TV was The Big Bang Theory stars Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki — with Cuoco, 39, confirming details of their two-year romance only after they split, as E! News noted.
Plus, Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had a mutual affection after they first started shooting season 1 of the iconic sitcom — a topic that was surprisingly broached during the HBO Max reunion special in 2021.
