He said that the singer had turned him into the "marrying type," saying: "If I'm going to get married, it's to her. That's simple as that."

He added: "This is definitely – with all due respect to all the women I've dated 'cause it's all love – but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship. When you're with somebody who's from where you're from, it's a different kind of connection, too."

Common appeared on Jennifer's chat show back in January, where they confirmed their romance."I'm in a relationship with one of the most beautiful people I've ever met in life," he said with pride.

"She's smart, she loves god, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she's talented."While he didn't refer to Jennifer by name, he made it abundantly clear who he was discussing: "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, she had to get her own talk show."
