Tiffany Haddish Says She Hopes Common & Jennifer Hudson Are Happy Together

Writer Isabella Turner

Tiffany Haddish says she's happy for her ex, Common and his new partner, Jennifer Hudson. The comedian discussed the couple during an appearance on the Making Space with Hoda Kotb podcast, earlier this week.

“I love Jennifer. I hope they’re having fun,” she stated on the podcast. As for her and Common's breakup as a whole, Haddish added: “It’s like, you remember when you was a kid and you’d be on a play date, and y’all like playing, having a good time, and then all of a sudden, y’all like sliding down the slide, and then you turn around and go, ‘Where did they go? Where did they — where’d they go?' And you see them waving at you and they mama carrying them. And they’re like, ‘Byeee.’ That’s what it was like.”

Haddish, who previously suggested that her split from Common wasn't "mutual," dated the rapper from 2020-2021. Common and Hudson first sparked dating rumors a year later in 2022. They finally confirmed their relationship during an episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show in January. "This relationship is a happy place for me," Common said. "For me, it's one of those things where I found where seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. I'm very grateful. I thank God every day and I'm just letting God guide this relationship." In 2023, Hadish took a less friendly reaction to the two dating, trolling them on social media. Check out her latest comments on the relationship below.
