The 42-year-old EGOT winner was first linked to Common – real name Lonnie Rashid Lynn – in 2022 but refrained from naming him as her new beau. 

However, during an appearance on CBS Mornings in November 2023, she admitted that she is "very happy" with her love life. 

During a conversation with Gayle King, Jennifer was asked how she is feeling about her "very nice relationship with someone who shall remain nameless". 

Unable to hide her glee, Jennifer responded with a smile: "I am very happy, yes, ma'am." The 'Dreamgirls' actress also indicated that she sees long-term potential with her new man.

"Boo'ed up? I think it's more sophisticated than boo'ed up," she added. "Definitely not an entanglement. That's for sure." 

Jennifer was previously in a decade-long relationship with her ex-fiancé David Otunga. 

They kickstarted their romance in 2007 and got engaged a year later. In 2009, they welcomed their son, David Daniel Otunga Jr., but eight years later they ended their romance.

Common, 51, is also a dad and  is a father to his daughter, Omoye Assata Lynn. He shares her with his ex-girlfriend, Kim Jones, who he split from in 2008. Omoye is now 26 years old and graduated from law school in 2022, making Common one proud dad.

He has a decorated dating past and was previously in a relationship with Eryka Badu, who Common called his "first love".

Empire actress, Taraji P Henson, was once the apple of Common's eye as was tennis ace, Serena Williams, before she found love with her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

He was in a long-time relationship with actress and comedian, Tiffany Haddish, but has never married any of his partners.
