After dating a bevy of beauties over the years, Common is now hinting that he may have found 'the one' in Jennifer Hudson.

When asked about the lyrics to another song on the new album, Chi-Town Do It, where he raps, 'Champion lover that could come with a ring/That got a ring to it, you and I theme to it,' Common first plays coy and then opens back up about the lady in his life and how she just may be his 'one.'
