Jennifer Hudson has been keeping her relationship with Common mainly out of the spotlight, although appeared to go public with their romance in January when he appeared as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
The EGOT winner has since given the most hilarious - if not surprising - response when asked about her boyfriend.
Jennifer appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on Tuesday night, and the conversation soon turned to the recent episode of her own show, where Common and her both described who they were dating, without revealing names, until it was clear that they were talking about each other.
As Jimmy reflected on the sweet moment on the show, Jennifer teased: "Is that what you gathered because I thought he was dating Whoopi Goldberg?"
The singer was then asked by Jimmy if she found it hard interviewing guests like Common, because she clearly knew him so well.

When Common appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the mother-of-one turned to him and said: "Let's get down to business, Mr. Common. I'm a host, and so I have to ask you this question, because everybody always wants to know this. Are you dating anyone?"

"She's talented. But I set my standard kind of high because she had to have an EGOT," adding: "She had to win an Oscar [for] her first movie. I set my standard high. She had to get her own talk show."

"I feel like I have grown and the work that I've done on myself has allowed me to see that I am a marrying type," he replied, when asked if Jennifer could be "the one".

"I would communicate with that person, and if she's feeling that, then why not?" he added.
Common was there when Jennifer recently performed at the NBA All-Star game, appearing in the audience as she sang during the halftime show, and was later spotted at the after party.
