NEW YORK, Nov 8, (Agencies): Jennifer Hudson and Common, despite keeping quiet about their rumored romance, continue to share moments together. Over the weekend, the talk show host and the rapper made a special appearance at Joe's Pub, where they performed in honor of the celebrated jazz vocalist, Mikel Mwalimu-Banks. The two were photographed entering the New York City performance venue, hand in hand.

Jennifer Hudson, aged 42, chose a relaxed look, donning a white jacket over an all-black outfit and black-and-white shoes. Common, aged 51, embraced a similar vibe, wearing a cream button-down shirt paired with khaki cargo pants.

Two days after their joint appearance, during an TV interview, Jennifer Hudson played coy when questioned about her personal life. The inquiry revolved around the EGOT winner's "very nice relationship with someone who shall remain nameless."

In response, Hudson coyly replied with a chuckle, "I am very happy, yes, ma'am," accompanied by a warm smile. Although she refrained from naming her significant other, speculation about Hudson and Common dating has been circulating since July 2022, when they were first seen spending time together. The couple's connection initially formed on the set of the upcoming action-thriller film, "Breathe."
