Celebrity gossip news is sensational to fans this includes their careers, dating history, and family life, and Common is not an exception. Despite his oath of secrecy, somehow, news concerning his personal life gets into the media thanks to the sleuthing eyes of celebrity blogs. Nonetheless, Common also deserves some of the accolades, as he has hinted a bit about his lifestyle via his memoir and interviews. So, what are all the details worth knowing about the Oscar winner who has never been married?
Common’s Dating History
He is handsome, classy, with exceptional charm, yet the Happy Feet actor hasn’t had too many women on his list. Common’s dating history dates back to the early 90s when he was with Kim Jones. The pair never got married, but they cemented their bond with the inclusion of a daughter, Omoye Assata Lynn. However, before Lynn could learn how to talk, her parents separated.
In his Let Love Have the Last Word memoir, Common referenced his relationship with his daughter, explaining that he was not a part of her childhood. The rapper later told People:
“It’s the typical thing you hear about with two parents who are splitting up, especially young. That love is obviously there. But it’s like sometimes I wasn’t able to have as much access and without that we couldn’t build the strongest relationship.”
Common And Erykah Badu
Following his fallout with Jones, Common moved on with Erykah Badu. These two were in sync in their hearts and careers. They connected on a musical level and went on to produce a few tracks, including Jimi Was a Rock Star. Despite the synergy, their romance lasted for only two years. It was not until years after their separation that Common shared their dating history.
In an honest tone, the rapper claimed that he was hazed, adding that “it wasn’t her fault, the relationship just didn’t go forward.”
Common and Taraji P. Henson’s Dating History
Next on the list is Taraji P. Henson, and as we already know Common, their romance was not common knowledge. It began in 2005. The duo was together for so long that the Acrimony actress tagged it her “last real long-term relationship.” Even as exes, they supported each other and never faulted the other party.
Common and the Queen of Court
The actor was with Serena Williams for two years. They kicked off in 2007 and ended things in 2010. Neither Common nor the tennis star opened up about the romance until things fell apart. But somehow, they were able to manage their friendship and went on to collaborate on two projects —in 2016 and 2018.
Common’s Dating History With Angela Rye
Angela Rye, a political analyst, was with Common for about a year. After their 2018 split, they got back together in 2019, but it only lasted for some months. Surprisingly, the on-and-off romance has not been a venue for them to make controversial statements. The duo have accepted that they might not be compatible enough.
Common and Tiffany Hadish
Everyone knew about the Common and Tiffany Hadish relationship. Although it began as a platonic relationship, in 2020, it had metamorphosed into something beautiful. But in 2021, they ended things; according to Haddish, it was Common’s idea.
Common’s dating history list also includes Kerry Washington and Jennifer Hudson. Interestingly, Hudson maintains that they are friends who only worked on the soon-to-debut film Breathe.
