Jennifer Hudson and Common seem to still be going strong.

The rumored couple were spotted enjoying an epic Las Vegas date night over the weekend, taking in an Usher concert from a VIP section.

On Saturday, a video of the “Love In This Club” singer, 45, approaching Common and Hudson’s seats went viral via Instagram.

In the footage, Usher reached for the “Dreamgirls” actress, 42, as Common, 51, helpfully moved their table out of the way.

Usher then pulled Hudson up and began performing “There Goes My Baby” while hugging her.

Social media users praised Common for his “secure” reaction to the “Jennifer Hudson Show” host getting serenaded.

“I like how Common let him have the moment,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Now that’s a confident man right there!”

Speculation that the talk show and Common were dating first surfaced last year when they were spotted together in Philadelphia and in their hometown of Chicago.

News subsequently broke that they would be co-starring in the forthcoming film “Breathe.”

While Hudson denied the romance “narrative” in 2022, the Oscar winners continued fueling rumors this year with a birthday tribute and several outings, including a London getaway in July.

The “American Idol” alum seemingly confirmed her romance with the rapper last month when she told Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” that she was in a “very happy” relationship.

When co-host Nate Burleson asked Hudson in the November interview if her connection was an “entanglement,” she clarified, “It’s definitely not an entanglement, that’s for sure.”

Common, meanwhile, played coy when asked about Hudson on the “Today” show back in June.

“She’s one of the most beautiful people I ever met on the planet,” he gushed. “Incredible heart and she’s just dope, man.”

Hudson split from ex-fiancé David Otunga back in 2017. The former couple share a 14-year-old son named David.

Common, for his part, has previously dated a slew of A-list women, including Serena Williams, Taraji P. Henson and, most recently, Tiffany Haddish.

Haddish, 44, alleged to the Washington Post in July that Common ended things with her during a phone call and disputed the previous claim that their breakup was mutual.

“It was more him saying, ‘I think this relationship has run its course,’” she claimed. “And I was like, ‘OK. Like, you gonna be a 50-year-old single man. OK?’”
