By early 2023, the duo were seen hanging out on multiple occasions, from casual outings to evening dinners. So, are the two, in fact, an item?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While speculation about Jennifer and Common began in mid-2022, the pair were first seen together hanging out in November 2022, with the \u201cIf This Isn\u2019t Love\u201d singer sitting in the front seat of a car while the \u201cGlory\u201d rapper drove her while leaving her talk show studio in Burbank, California.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While it wasn\u2019t clear at the time whether the duo were just pals hanging out or budding lovebirds, Jennifer and Common were seen again in February 2023 after enjoying an evening dinner at celebrity hotspot Nobu Malibu, per TMZ<\/a>, fueling romance rumors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The two have reportedly spent more time together after they met on the set of the upcoming action-thriller movie\u00a0Breathe<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The film will feature Jennifer and Common portraying spouses living in an uninhabitable world with a lack of oxygen.

We gotta eat in between those moments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, Jennifer and Common have since regularly been spotted on dates as they remained tight-lipped about their romance.<\/p>\n The Just Wright<\/em> actor confirmed their relationship during a January 2024 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em> after she asked him what his dating status was.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I\u2019ve met in life. She\u2019s smart, she loves God, she has something real down to earth about her. She\u2019s talented,\u201d he gushed as she blushed. \u201cI set my standard kind of high. She had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. She had to get her own talk show. This relationship is a happy place for me.\u201d<\/p>\n The EGOT winner hasn\u2019t publicly been linked to anyone for quite a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jennifer called off her longtime engagement with ex-fianc\u00e9\u00a0David Otunga\u00a0<\/b>in 2017.

I wish him nothing but joy and happiness, you know. He will always be cool.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Apart from Tiffany, Common was also linked with\u00a0Taraji P.
