Jennifer Hudson has admitted she “loves the idea” of marrying her boyfriend, Common after he revealed she is “the person” he would wed.
The 43-year-old and her rapper beau, 52, have dropped several hints that their relationship is going the distance after they finally confirmed their romance in January.
Earlier this month, Common appeared on Jennifer’s talk show and made his intentions clear after he caused confusion when he said, “If I’m going to get married, it’s to her”, on The Breakfast Club in July.
After the Oscar-winner asked him to clarify his comments, he responded: “You told me a quote that your mother said, ‘A man knows what he wants.’ I was saying my true feelings about, listen, Jennifer is the person.
“If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson. You know what I’m saying? I was just being honest. Where do you stand on that?”
Now, Jennifer has addressed his bold declaration and admitted that while marriage is definitely on the cards, she and Common won’t be tying the knot soon.

She explained: “I love the idea, and I think he’s a beautiful man, but we’re gonna take our time. Neither one of us are in a rush. We’re very happy as we are.”

“That’s what she would say, and I would agree. I think [marriage] is a beautiful thing I think you are a deserving man and, you know, I support that idea.”
Hearing the roars from the audience, Jennifer quickly clarified that there was no ring on her finger yet.

Common may be getting to “that place” sooner rather than later as he replied: “‘I’m listening to God more and more and I know what purpose is and I feel like this is purpose right here, you and I.”

“I’m in a relationship with one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in life,” he said with pride. “She’s smart, she loves god, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she’s talented.”

He added: “This relationship is a happy place for me. For me, it’s one of those things where I found where seeing her happy actually makes me really happy,”
