Jennifer Hudson has shared that both her son David and her boyfriend Common have played a big role in inspiring her as she gets ready for her upcoming tour.
The Dreamgirls star will head out on tour this summer and revealed that her 16 year old son and her rapper partner have helped shape her creative energy as she prepares for the shows.
Speaking in a recent interview with People, Jennifer opened up about the tour and explained how the people closest to her have influenced the music she is working on.
"My voice is a tree of many branches. I am a music lover, as well as a singer (and) artist, so it's going to display all of that, right? So yes, you may hear new material," she divulged. "My son is also a producer, and he's been recreating some of my songs, so I'm inspired by that."
The performer added that spending time with both David and Common continues to fuel her creativity.
"And then of course, the man Common, being around them both, they are so musical," the 44 year old said. "It's inspired me in so many unique ways. So that's bringing out my artistry."
Jennifer welcomed David with her former fiancé David Otunga Sr. The couple were together for a decade from 2007 until their split in 2017.
In the past, the singer has spoken proudly about her son’s growing passion for music and even posted a video of the two working together inside a recording studio on Instagram.
Sharing the clip in November, Jennifer wrote, "The best part of singing is singing with my son. He said mama let's record one of my fav songs together."
Jennifer is scheduled to hit the road with Josh Groban for a 16 date North American tour this summer, where the two artists will share the stage for special joint performances. The tour is set to begin on 2 June 2026 in Montreal, Canada, before concluding on 3 July 2026 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
