Jennifer Hudson reveals her father had 27 children, and she still hasn't met all of her half-siblings

Jennifer Hudson reveals her father had 27 children, and she still hasn't met all of her half-siblings, although some of them have connected.

The Dreamgirls star learned in her teen years that the father she'd grown up without had many offspring, Hudson told journalist Michele Norris on Wednesday's episode of her podcast, Your Mama's Kitchen. Hudson was raised by her mom, the late Darnell Donerson, but recalled that her paternal family members played a part in connecting the half-brothers and sisters she did meet. The star of The Jennifer Hudson Show and the rapper-actor were rumored to be dating back in 2022, but they only (unofficially) confirmed their relationship this year.
