Jennifer Hudson has officially jingled her way into the holiday music scene with her first-ever holiday album The Gift of Love. And guess what? Her duet partner on the album is none other than… (drumroll please) her boyfriend, the one and only Common! Yes, they’re spreading holiday cheer and relationship goals at the same time.
In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Hudson—aka EGOT royalty—dished on what it’s like working with her boyfriend of two years. Spoiler: It’s the kind of lovey-dovey holiday magic that even Hallmark would envy.
“It’s special,” Jennifer said, with the same energy you have when your crush texts back within three seconds. “We’re both artists, so music just kinda happens naturally. Like, we’ll be talking about dinner plans and suddenly—boom—accidental duet. It’s just in our DNA!”
Hudson went on to explain that they’re not just musicians—they’re hardcore music lovers. So if you thought your Spotify Wrapped was impressive, imagine these two casually riffing on Christmas classics during brunch.
Honestly, this is what happens when talent meets romance: music notes, mistletoe, and pure holiday magic. Who needs Santa when you’ve got this kind of gift? 🎁
