Acclaimed US stars Jennifer Hudson and Common have officially confirmed their romantic relationship after embarking on a secret trip to London to attend the hit musical “A Strange Loop”. Speculation about their romance had been circulating for months, but the couple remained tight-lipped during interviews. However, their recent visit to London together solidified their status as a couple.
Jennifer, 41, who is part of the producing team behind the award-winning musical dubbed “the new Hamilton,” arrived separately from Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn. After enjoying the performance at the Barbican Theatre, they posed for pictures backstage with the cast, confirming their togetherness.
Sources reveal that Jennifer and Common have deliberately kept their relationship low-profile, but their joint trip to London speaks volumes about their commitment to each other. While they arrived separately to avoid attention, they were seen together throughout the evening.
Common, 50, has made a name for himself as both a successful actor in Hollywood and a talented musician. He has starred in popular series like Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever” and AppleTV+’s sci-fi drama “Silo.” Common has also been romantically linked to tennis star Serena Williams and actress Tiffany Haddish.
Jennifer and Common have been friends for some time and recently co-starred in the upcoming movie “Breathe.” They have been spotted on dinner dates together in Malibu, further fueling speculation about their relationship. Although Common refrained from directly confirming their dating status, he spoke highly of Jennifer during a recent interview, praising her as an amazing human being.
Jennifer Hudson’s previous long-term relationship with David Otunga ended in 2017. They have a 13-year-old son together named David Daniel Otunga Jr.
“A Strange Loop,” written by Michael R. Jackson, garnered significant acclaim, becoming the first musical since “Hamilton” to win the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Jennifer co-produces the show alongside notable figures such as Alan Cumming, Ilana Glazer, Billy Porter, and Mindy Kaling. The production brings together a talented cast and explores themes of self-identity and personal struggles.
Jennifer expressed her admiration for “A Strange Loop,” highlighting its brilliance and Michael R. Jackson’s dedication to his craft. The show’s successful run at the Barbican Theatre in London, with Jennifer as part of the producing team, concludes on September 9.
