Jennifer Hudson isn't afraid to put her boyfriend Common in the hot seat.
That's why she playfully called out the rapper's prospective marriage plans when he recently appeared on The Johnathan WalkerJennifer Hudson Show.
Alluding to Common's previous hints at an engagement, the "Spotlight" singer quipped during the Oct. 3 episode of her eponymous talk show, "I heard you’ve been even out there talking about marriage."
"What’s that about?" she cheekily grilled Common. "I just happened to notice that."
But the three-time Grammy winner kept his cool, telling Jennifer, "You told me a quote that your mother said, 'A man knows what he wants.'"
"I was saying my true feelings," Common continued, explaining how if he "should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson."
He added with a smile, "I was just being honest."
Indeed, Common has been open about his plans to tie the knot with Jennifer, who he started dating in 2022. In January, the "Glory" musician said he's finally seeing himself as the "marrying type."
"I'm capable and I have the capacity," Common—who shares 27-year-old daughter Omoye Assata Lynn with ex Kim Jones—explained on Today, "and if at some point in my life I may want to do that, I would know when the right time is."
He continued, "I work from that discernment that God speaks—when He speaks into your stomach and you feel it in your heart and your spirit, so when I would feel that, I will communicate with that person and if she's feeling that, then why not?"
And dating Jennifer—mom to 15-year-old David Daniel Otunga Jr. from her relationship with David Otunga—has shifted his perspective on marriage. As he explained during a July appearance on The Breakfast Club, "If I'm going to get married, it's to her."
"With all due respect to all the women I've dated 'cause it's all love," Common—who was previously linked to Erykah Badu, Taraji P. Henson, Serena Williams and Tiffany Haddish—continued, "but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship."
Noting how not only are they both from Chicago, but that they're in the same place spiritually, Common added, "When you're with somebody who's from where you're from, it's a different kind of connection, too."
