In the photos obtained by DailyMail, the two artists seem to be enjoying each other's company as they continued their chat in the car while Hudson, 41, flashed a wide grin before driving off. As reported by the newspaper, the 'Respect' actress wore a hoodie, leggings, and boots during the meeting. Her companion, on the other hand, wore a gray sweater and casual jeans.
Their latest outing comes after the pair were spotted looking cozy at a Philadelphia restaurant in September. However, the Academy Award winner denied the dating allegations despite photos suggesting otherwise. "People create their narratives of it and it’s like, OK, you know, how you feel," Hudson told ET. "We shot a film together and he played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments."
The celebrity duo is used to having their relationships in the spotlight. Common was previously dating comedian Tiffany Haddish. Their relationship went on for 16 months before parting ways in 2021, due to their busy schedules becoming an evident issue. "They are never in the same city together and both of them are just too busy for a serious relationship," a source dished to People at the time. Common is a father to daughter Omoye Lynn, 24, whom he shares with ex Kim Jones. The actor has been linked to several high-profile relationships including Serena Williams, Erykah Badu, Taraji P. Henson, and Angela Rye.
As for Hudson, she shares one son David, 13 with her ex-fiance David Otunga. The pair reportedly split in 2017 with Hudson ordering a protective order against the former wrestler with the best interest of her son in mind, as reported by People.
