Watch Jennifer Hudson grill boyfriend Common about his recent marriage comments: 'What's that about?'

"If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson," Common said simply.

If wedding bells are on the horizon for Common and Jennifer Hudson, then she better be the first to know.

The EGOT-winning talk show host didn’t hesitate to very publicly remind her partner of this fact when he stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show with Pete Rock to promote their latest album, The Auditorium Vol. 1. Once the rapper was captive on her couch, Hudson seized her opportunity to confront him about his recent marriage comments.

"I heard you’ve been even out there talking about marriage," said Hudson "What’s that about?”

As the crowd reacted with shocked laughter, she added, “I just happened to notice that."

If Common was surprised about being publicly grilled, he didn’t let it show.

"You know what, you told me a quote that your mother said, ‘A man knows what he wants,’" he reminded Hudson. "I was saying my true feelings about, listen, Jennifer is the person."

He continued, "If I should be married, it will be to Jennifer Kate Hudson. I was just being honest."

Common’s latest romantic proclamation comes three months after he stopped by The Breakfast Club radio show and spoke candidly about his "beautiful relationship" with Hudson. When host Charlamagne tha God joked that the rapper sounds ready for marriage, Common didn’t deny it.

“With all due respect to all the women I’ve dated… it’s all love, but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship,” he said in reference to Hudson, though he didn’t name her at the time. “If I’m going to get married, it’s to her. That’s simple as that.”

This wasn’t even the first time Common has referenced the idea of marriage since taking his relationship with Hudson public.

During a January interview on Today with Hoda & Jenna, he said, “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 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.”

Earlier that month, Common joined Hudson for an episode of her daytime talk show, where they all but confirmed their then-rumored romance. After presenting her with a bouquet of flowers, he shared a romcom-esque interaction with Hudson, playing coy when she asked if he was seeing anyone special.

"I'm in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I've met in life," Common replied. "She's smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her. She's talented."

He also noted that said love interest has an EGOT, won an Oscar for her first movie, and has her own talk show — narrowing the options down to one.
