Girl, he never gave me any earrings! He probably gave them to Jennifer, y’all! Is Tiffany Haddish and Common dealing with some jealousy because Tiffany is stuck in a messy love triangle with Common and Jennifer Hudson? It’s been almost three years since Tiffany and Common broke up, but it looks like she’s still holding on to that flame. Word on the street is she’s still feeling some type of way about Common’s relationship with Jennifer.
Fans are convinced that Tiffany has been throwing shade at Jennifer and low-key blames her for the breakup with Common. This drama is a mess, y’all, and it’s giving delusional vibes. We’re about to witness the mother of all love triangles in Hollywood.
“I’m in a relationship with one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life. She’s smart, loves God, and has a real down-to-earth vibe. She’s talented, but I set my standards high—she had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar for her first movie. She had to get her own talk show.”
Hollywood is basically a big soap opera right now, and let me tell y’all, the plot involves a seriously tangled love triangle between Tiffany Haddish, Common, and Jennifer Hudson. I know it sounds bizarre, like a crazy crossover, but believe me, there’s something going on here. The drama has escalated because Jennifer Hudson and Common just confirmed their relationship openly, and fans are convinced Tiffany is still feeling some type of way about it.
You might be wondering why Tiffany is so upset about this situation. Well, let me take you back to where it all began. Tiffany and Common started dating in 2019 while working on the movie “The Kitchen.” Things were going great until Common suddenly decided to get back with his ex, Angela Rye. Tiffany felt played, as if she was just a placeholder until his ex came back into the picture.
Surprisingly, Tiffany didn’t hold a grudge against Common at that time. His rekindled relationship with Angela didn’t last long—they broke up after a few months. Angela wanted kids, but Common, already a dad, wasn’t on the same page. This difference eventually led to their split.
What’s interesting is that right after breaking up with Angela, Common rushed back to Tiffany. She decided to give him another chance, and by 2020, they were officially a couple. They tried to keep their relationship low-key, playing the “neither confirm nor deny” game with the media. But then the pandemic hit, and they ended up quarantining together. Keeping their relationship a secret became impossible, and Tiffany finally spilled the beans during an Instagram live session with Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, with Common making a casual cameo in the background.
Despite Common’s past failed relationships, people thought he and Tiffany were adorable together. He even mentioned that he went to therapy after his breakup with Angela to learn how to be a better partner. He was open to the idea of marriage with the right person.
He shared, “I have a pretty famous relationship coach—Michelle Obama. She’s given me a lot of wisdom. She told me that no one is perfect and that you have to compromise on some things. But as long as your core values align, you’re good to go.”
Tiffany and Common were both into their relationship, but it was clear Tiffany was more invested. She truly believed Common was “the one,” but it was obvious to anyone watching that she was more head over heels than he was. To be fair, Common wasn’t a jerk about it or anything. He didn’t treat her badly, but their enthusiasm levels just didn’t match, and she definitely liked him more.
Take Tiffany’s 41st birthday, for example. She was super excited and couldn’t stop talking about it. In an interview, she mentioned wanting Common to do something special. She said, “I’m just hoping me and my man, we’re going hot air ballooning, have us a nice little meal. That’s what I like to do. On my 39th birthday, I got drunk with my grandma—never done that before. On my 40th birthday, I had a blast—that was super fun. This birthday, 41, I want to go up in a hot air balloon.” But things didn’t go as planned. Not only did Common skip the hot air balloon ride, but he pretty much disappeared on her birthday. Rumor had it he gave her some flowers, but that’s pretty bare minimum effort, especially for your woman’s birthday. Fans started to get suspicious, but Tiffany, blinded by love, stood by him.
Things got more complicated when Common admitted he wasn’t sure about having more kids. This was a huge red flag since Tiffany dreamed of having a family and even wanted to foster kids. Common, however, was firm about not wanting more children. Despite this, Tiffany stayed in the relationship, even though it was clear to everyone that it wasn’t really working for her. Fans noticed the unbalanced sacrifices she was making, and it became obvious the relationship wasn’t as fulfilling as it should have been.
The real drama kicked off when Tiffany started hinting at marriage and proposals, which made Common do a complete 180 on her. In an interview, Tiffany spilled the beans about wanting Common to propose, but she didn’t want just any ordinary ring. No, she set the bar much higher, saying she wanted an apartment building as a proposal instead. “If you want to marry me, get me an apartment building,” she said. “Oh, you don’t want a ring? You want an apartment complex? I’ll give you a duplex, a complex, or something.”
When asked about it, Common’s response was basically that he was in it for a good time, not a long time. “I’m going to do what’s good for me and the lady, you know. Right now, all I want is happiness, good times, peace on Earth.” Unsurprisingly, they broke up just a couple of months later. It was obvious they weren’t on the same page about important life decisions. Fans were relieved that Tiffany was finally out of Common’s grip because he really had her wrapped around his finger.
But it didn’t end there. Even though Common was the one who initiated the breakup, he tried to claim that their busy schedules were the reason. “Tiffany and I got back on the move. It really didn’t allow for us to spend as much time and put as much energy into our relationship. I don’t think the love really faded. I just think we weren’t feeding the relationship.”
But Tiffany wasn’t going to let Common tell the story his way, so she decided to share her own side. She said, “He might just be the type who never settles down with anyone. Maybe he’s like a bee, flitting from flower to flower. I don’t know. I wish him nothing but joy and happiness.” Insiders, however, revealed that Tiffany was actually hurt by the breakup, feeling blindsided even though their relationship had been rocky. She had hoped they could work things out, but Common decided to end it.
When rumors started about Common and Jennifer Hudson being an item, it was like opening an old wound for Tiffany. Apparently, she was still not over Common when he and Jennifer began dating. Common and Jennifer had known each other for years through their Hollywood circles, but they got close while working on the movie “Breathe” last year. An insider shared that things took a romantic turn during the summer filming in Philadelphia. After each day’s shoot, they would always end up together.
At first, Jennifer tried to shut down the dating rumors, saying, “People create narratives. We shot a film together, and he played my husband. We ate together between scenes.” But then they were spotted on a date in Malibu after filming ended, and the rumors grew stronger. The romance was finally confirmed when Common flew to London to support Jennifer’s musical “A Strange Loop.” According to an insider, there had been speculation for months, but their trip to London together confirmed they were a couple. Though they arrived at the show separately to avoid attention, they were inseparable behind the scenes.
They didn’t really confirm their relationship until about a week and a half ago. That’s when he went on her talk show, and she straight-up asked him, “Are you dating anyone?” He replied, “Oh yes, and I’m in a relationship with one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life.” [Applause] “She’s smart, loves God, and has this real down-to-earth vibe. She’s super talented, and I set my standards high—she had to have an EGOT, win an Oscar on her first movie, and have her own talk show.”
I have to admit, this was really cute. But what really sealed it was this adorable selfie they posted afterward that had everyone talking and rooting for them. But guess who’s not cheering them on? Tiffany Haddish. Tiffany’s throwing some serious shade at Common and Jennifer’s relationship. When a fan mentioned giving Common a pair of earrings to pass on to Tiffany, she responded, “Girl, he never gave me any earrings. He probably gave them to Jennifer.”
But Tiffany didn’t stop there. She’s been pretty obsessed with her past relationship with Common and claims he didn’t treat her right. In a recent interview, she said, “It was the healthiest, most fun relationship I’ve ever had. I felt the safest with him. The breakup wasn’t mutual; he said, ‘I think this relationship has run its course,’ and I was like, ‘Okay, you’ll be a 50-year-old single man, fine.'”
Fans are reacting all over the place, saying things like, “Tiffany, you need to stop the drama. Don’t disrespect your black sister. Move on and make your money. Jennifer Hudson, like Beyoncé, is unbothered and won’t respond to Tiffany’s shade. Jennifer didn’t steal her man; they were already broken up.”
This love triangle is definitely causing a stir, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end anytime soon. What do you think? Are Jennifer Hudson and Common the real deal? Share your thoughts in the comments below and don’t forget to check out the next video.
