Common’s New Relationship Revealed: Tiffany Haddish Responds to Jennifer Hudson Romance
After months of speculation, rapper and actor Common has finally confirmed his romantic relationship with award-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson. The news has sparked widespread media attention—not only because of Hudson’s star power, but also due to Common’s past relationship with comedian Tiffany Haddish, who has now spoken out about the situation.
Common and Jennifer Hudson were first rumored to be dating in 2022, when they were seen together in multiple cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago. At the time, Hudson downplayed the rumors, calling them “just gossip.” However, in January 2024, Common appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and openly spoke about their relationship, describing Hudson as “one of the most beautiful and amazing people” he had ever met. He expressed admiration for her talent, intelligence, and spirit, and said being with her made him genuinely happy.

Naturally, the spotlight shifted to Tiffany Haddish, who dated Common from 2020 to 2021. While some media outlets attempted to paint a picture of jealousy or tension, Haddish’s public response has been surprisingly gracious. In a recent podcast interview, Haddish made it clear she holds no resentment toward Hudson. “I love Jennifer. I hope they’re having fun,” she said. She also looked back on her own relationship with Common, calling it “a great relationship” and saying she had many good memories.
However, Haddish did reveal that the breakup wasn’t mutual. Using a playful but pointed metaphor, she compared the situation to a childhood playdate where everything is going well—until one child disappears without warning. According to her, Common ended things unexpectedly, which left her hurt and confused at the time.

Some tabloids have taken these comments and run with headlines suggesting Haddish “humiliated” Hudson, or was throwing shade at the new couple. But in truth, Haddish’s remarks seem more reflective than bitter. She didn’t criticize Hudson directly and even emphasized that she had moved on with her life. If anything, her comments appear to focus more on how the breakup affected her emotionally rather than attacking Common or Hudson.
Meanwhile, Common has continued to speak positively about Hudson, even hinting that marriage could be a possibility in the future. He mentioned how refreshing it is to be with someone who shares a similar background and values, and described the relationship as more grounded and spiritually aligned than his past ones.
As for Haddish, she’s been busy promoting her new book, I Curse You With Joy, a collection of essays that touches on love and growth. When asked if Common was mentioned in the book, she confirmed he’s not, joking that while there are “common men” in her life, Common himself didn’t make the cut.
In the end, despite rumors of drama, all parties involved seem to be moving forward with maturity and grace. The so-called “humiliation” may be more a creation of sensational headlines than reality.
