Jennifer Hudson plays coy about Common dating rumors

Jennifer Hudson is keeping her lips sealed about her rumored romance with Common.

The “Dreamgirls” star played coy when asked about their relationship while enjoying lunch at Il Pastaio restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif., Monday.

“Rumors say a lot of things,” Hudson told TMZ with a shrug when asked about the speculation.

“But he’s a beautiful man, I will give you that,” she added.

Although the “Breathe” co-stars have been tightlipped about their relationship status, Hudson seemingly confirmed the rumors when the paparazzo said that she and the rapper make “the cutest couple.”

“Thank you,” she replied, adding that “it would be dope” to do a music collaboration with the fellow Chicagoan.

“Team Jhud pls help me wish one of the brightest lights, a Chicago and hip hop legend, the one and only @common a very happy birthday on today!” she captioned a photo of the two together.
