But away from the spotlight, the award-winning singer enjoys nothing more than spending time with her teenage son, David.

The EGOT winner is incredibly protective over her family life but shared a rare video of herself and the 13-year-old listening to LL Cool J in the car.

Fans were quick to comment on the footage, with many saying just how much David looked like his famous mom. "He is your twin!!" one wrote, while another remarked: "Your baby looks so much like you." A third added: "He is your double!"

The mother-of-one previously revealed that David was following in her footsteps too, having inherited her performing gene.

Talking to Today, she described the joy of "seeing how creative he already is," and added: "That made me more confident... He has a good ear. And he's a little performer."

The home features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, along with two laundry rooms, a game room, an in-house screening room, and a heated garage big enough for six different cars.

It's been an exciting time for Jennifer, who turned 41 the same day as her show, The Jennifer Hudson Show, premiered. Ahead of the debut show, she told L.A. Times: "This is going to be such a gift."

She added: "If I were not working on my birthday, that is what I would be wishing for — performing on a stage or a platform. I love bringing people together on one accord and positively. And to do it nationally on a talk show? On my birthday? Oh, my God, that's a birthday wish coming true."

The series has already received high praise from fans, and features daily celebrity interviews, topical stories, community heroes, viral sensations and music.
