Jennifer Hudson is putting her love center stage.
On Friday, June 12, the EGOT winner was a guest of Josh Groban during his concert at Madison Square Garden.
And though she was a special guest of the “You Raise Me Up” singer, she also had her own very special guest, her boyfriend Common.
Following the performance, Jennifer took to Instagram and posted a slew of photos from the gig, first posting one in which she is on stage with Common, the two holding hands while performing.
More photos from the stunning performance see her wearing a strapless black dress with billowing sleeves, and in one snap, Common is showing her off to the cameras.
“There are moments that stay with you long after the music fades, and last night was definitely one of them!!!” Jennifer wrote in her caption. “Being under the lights at Madison Square Garden and feeling the love and energy pouring back from every corner of that legendary arena was truly a blessing.”
“And then having @common there to join me on stage made the night even more special!!!” she continued, adding: “Thank you, NYC, for embracing us and making this such an unforgettable stop on our tour. I’ll be taking the love from last night with me for a long, long time!”
Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, with a concert goer writing: “You both were magnificent. You looked gorgeous!” as others followed suit with: “Nothing makes us happier than seeing your face light up hitting that stage every show!!!” and: “You crushed it!! So beautiful and inspiring!” as well as: “Simply the greatest! You were amazing last night.”
Jennifer, who shares son David, 16, with ex-fiancé David Otunga, and Common have been friends for at least a decade, however it wasn’t until January 2024 that they confirmed they were in a relationship, after months of speculation.

Shortly after confirming their relationship in 2024, the Just Wright actor, during an appearance on TODAY, was asked whether he was the “marrying type,” and confirmed: “I feel like I have grown and the work that I have done on myself has allowed me to see that I am a marrying type.”

“I work from that discernment that God speaks, when He speaks into your stomach and you feel it in your heart and your spirit,” he further reflected, and ultimately said: “So when I would feel that, I will communicate with that person, and if she’s feeling that, then why not?”
