Common revealed he hasn’t ruled out getting married while appearing on Today with Hoda & Jenna after confirming his relationship with Jennifer Hudson.
When asked by Hoda Kotb if he’s ‘the marrying type,’ the 51-year-old rapper revealed he does hope to walk down the aisle someday.
As for whether his current girlfriend may be his future bride, the three-time Grammy winner raved that he has ‘grown’ a lot and ‘the work’ he’s done on himself ‘has allowed’ him to see himself as ‘a marrying type.’
‘I am the type that, I’m capable and I have the capacity, and if at some point in my life I may want to do that, I would know when the right time is,’ he told viewers.

He proceeded to explain that his faith has helped guide him through major life decisions.
‘For me, everything is divine,’ he said. ‘I work from that discernment that God speaks — when He speaks into your stomach and you feel it in your heart and your spirit, so when I would feel that, I will communicate with that person and if she’s feeling that, then why not?’
The pair proceeded to pull up a clip of him appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show, which will air on Monday, which showed his girlfriend cheekily asking him if he was in a relationship.
‘Let’s get down to business, Mr. Common,’ Hudson said. ‘I’m a host, and so I have to ask you this question, because everybody always wants to know this. Are you dating anyone?’
He responded: ‘Yes. And I’m in a relationship that is (with) one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, in life.’
He went on to say: ‘She’s smart. She loves God. She has something real down-to-earth about her. She’s talented. But I set my standard kind of high because she had to have an EGOT.’
‘She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. I set my standard high. She had to get her own talk show,’ he concluded.
As for why they went public on Hudson’s talk show, Common said they were just having ‘a little fun.’
