“If I’m going to get married, it’s to her,” Common, 52, said on the Monday, July 15, episode of “The Breakfast Club” show. “That’s [as] simple as that.”
Common explained that his relationship with Hudson, 42, is different from others he’s had. “This is definitely — with all due respect to all the women I’ve dated ’cause it’s all love — but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship,” Common said.
