Well, this sentiment seems to have been new to Hudson, who confronted her boyfriend about the comments on an episode this week.

β€œI heard you’ve been even out there talking about marriage,” Hudson said to Common during the segment. β€œWhat’s that about? I just happened to notice that.” Common then responded with a quote from Hudson’s mother, that a β€œman knows what he wants.” He added, β€œI was saying my true feelings about ... listen, β€˜If I should be married it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson!

The in-studio audience erupted in cheers after Common’s words, and Hudson replied by saying she thinks her mother would have said, β€œI don’t know about the rest of them but that Common is alright with me.”

Of course, social media had a field day with the segment, many taking to the comments of the official Instagram post of the video to share congratulations or give their two cents. One user wrote, β€œLook at Common using Common Sense!!! Gone cross into the Hudson River and be blessed sir! Congrats!”

Others shared similar sentiments, writing that Hudson β€œbrings out the best in him” and that you can β€œsee their chemistry.” Others, however, had a more cynicial approach in the comments, many alluding to Common’s past romantic history.

β€œHe said a whole lot of nothing,” one user wrote. β€œStop playing Common!” Another wrote that she better get the β€œmost powerful prenup.”

Despite the negative, the comments leaned towards positive, with one of the most liked comments claiming, β€œy’all can say what y’all want about him. But when a man finds his ONE a man finds his ONE,” with a heart emoji.
