Chicago’s royal couple, Jennifer Hudson and Common, took over Soldier Field for an NFL date night that had the entire “Chi” buzzing. The duo was spotted looking cozy and deeply in love as they cheered on their beloved Chicago Bears against their long-time rivals, the Green Bay Packers.
From the sidelines to the stands, the energy was electric. In a viral video shared from the game, the couple cuddled up, their faces touching, as Common proudly declared, “We’re representing for the Chi.” Hudson followed up with a spirited yell of “Chicago!” into the camera, reminding everyone exactly where their loyalty lies.
The game itself was a nail-biter that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The Bears trailed the Packers 16-6 late into the fourth quarter, and for a moment, things looked grim. But in true Chicago fashion, the team came blazing back, scoring 10 points in the final two minutes of regulation to force the game into overtime.
A 46-yard pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore eventually sealed the deal, giving the Bears a massive win. Jennifer Hudson was so hyped that she took to the field to celebrate, jumping up and down at the edge of the turf. “Ungh! Bear down!” she yelled, her joy radiating through the stadium. Common echoed the sentiment, playfully warning his girlfriend about the nearby security as they both soaked in the glory of the win.
While the win was impressive, the real highlight for fans was seeing the couple’s enduring connection. Hudson, 43, grew up on Chicago’s South Side, while the 52-year-old Common is a native of Hyde Park. Their paths crossed years ago in the creative world, but sparks didn’t officially fly until they starred together in the 2022 film Breathe.
Since then, they have become one of the most beloved couples in the industry. They strike the perfect balance between keeping their private lives sacred and showing up to support one another at award shows, charity events, and courtside.
