The pair got flirty during Common’s recent appearance of Hudson’s talk show this week when she playfully asked him if he is dating anyone.
"Let's get down to business, Mr. Common," she stated. "I'm a host, and so I have to ask you this question because everybody always wants to know this. Are you dating anyone?"
The crowd cheered as rumors of Common and Hudson being an item have been swirling for some time now.
"So, yes," he grinned. "I'm in a relationship that is [with] one of the most beautiful people I've ever met in life. She's smart. She loves God. She has something real down to earth about her.”
He continued, “She's talented. But, I set my standard kind of high because she had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. I set my standard high. She had to get her own talk show."
Hudson laughed alongside the crowd as he was clearly referring to her high-caliber accomplishments. “Oh, OK," Hudson laughed.
If the flirty exchange during Hudson’s show wasn’t convincing enough, the 51-year-old further confirmed their romance on the TODAY show with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager telling them both it was time to be honest about it.
"I felt like, man, why not just be loving and honest with who I am and who we are?" he shared. "It felt good."
