In the episode, Jennifer could be seen introducing the rapper with a freestyle. The Chicago native later appeared with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
"Now, we gotta get down to business, Mr. Common. I'm a host and so I have to ask you this question 'cause everybody always wanna know this - are you dating anyone?" the "If This Isn't Love" songstress asked her long-rumored boyfriend.
While laughing, the rapper admitted that he's, in fact, seeing someone. "I'm in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life," he gushed. "She's smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she's talented."
The episode also saw "The Suicide Squad" star sharing that he wanted his girlfriend to be an EGOT winner. It must be noted that Jeniffer achieved the honor in 2022 after she won a Tony Award for producing "A Strange Loop".
At one point, he asked Jennifer the same question and the "Dreamgirls" star revealed that she was "very happy" in her relationship. She then asked him if he's happy in his, with Common replying, "This relationship is a happy place for me."
He further elaborated, "Seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. So, I'm very grateful. I thank God each and every day, and I'm just letting God guide this relationship."
The pair even showed PDA in a picture taken from the episode. "Hip-hop legend @common joins us Monday! Trust us, you don’t want to miss this!" so Jennifer wrote alongside a picture of Common giving a peck on her cheek.
Common and Jennifer first sparked dating rumors in 2022. At the time, they were spotted together in their hometown. Despite the rumors, the pair remained mum when it came to their romance.
Jennifer even refused to address the romance speculations between them in a September 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “People create their narratives of it and it's like, OK, you know, how you feel," she shared at the time. "We shot a film together, and [Common] played my husband. We gotta eat in between those moments," she added, referring to "Breathe".
