Jennifer Hudson and Common were not hiding their romance when they attended Usher’s My Way residency performance on Saturday, December 2, in Las Vegas.

As the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show performer sang his 2010 hit, “There Goes My Baby,” Hudson and Common smiled as he walked over to their table, as seen in an Instagram video. Hudson pointed toward Usher, who reached for her hand. Common moved their table out of the way so his date could stand up and enjoy an embrace from Usher as the singer continued the song to roars from the crowd.
One fan praised the way Common made sure Hudson enjoyed the special moment, writing, “Common is the real star of this video, he said let me show yall how real men react at one of these concerts. He took his lady there to have a good time and that’s exactly what the energy says. Not an insecurity in sight.”
