Though Jennifer Hudson has been relatively secretive about her upcoming wedding, she has recently dished on what theme her wedding would be, as well as what we can expect her wedding dress to look like. Now, the Grammy-winning songstress has also dished that she had to buy a wedding ring for her “sentimental” fiancé, David Otunga, after he complained about not having one.
After proposing to the ‘Dreamgirls’ star on her birthday back in 2008, Otunga began complaining about not having a ring to show that he’s officially taken off of the market as well.
“He proposed to me on my birthday and he would complain that he didn’t have an engagement ring,” she told the ladies on The Talk.
“[He would say,] ‘You have a ring, but how are they going to know I’m taken?’ So I had a ring made and then I gave it to him as his birthday gift on his birthday [April, 2009] and the way that I gave it to him was like, ‘Now will you marry me!’ So I kind of proposed to him, too,” she explained.
The two currently have a two-year-old son, David Daniel Otunga Jr.
Jennifer Hudson has recently opened up about her engagement to fiancé David Otunga, revealing that he asked for a ring but she wasn’t ready. The pair have been together for nine years and share an eight-year-old son named David Jr., yet the couple chose not to get married until now.
The singer revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that despite their long relationship, it was only when David asked for a ring that Jennifer felt comfortable enough to take things to the next level. She said: “I don’t know why I just didn’t feel like it was right at the time.”
It seems this lovely couple are finally ready to exchange vows after all these years – and fans couldn’t be more excited! Keep reading to discover what else Jennifer had to say about taking the plunge with her longtime love.
Details Of Jennifer Hudson’s Relationship
When it comes to her relationship with fiancé David Otunga, Jennifer Hudson has shared many details that have left fans intrigued. In an interview with Access Hollywood, the singer-actress revealed how their romance began and what led up to their engagement.
The couple first met in 2007 when they both attended a Super Bowl party. At the time, Jennifer was starring on American Idol while David was still playing professional wrestling for WWE. After becoming friends, the two eventually fell in love and decided to move forward with their relationship.
It wasn’t until 2008 that David proposed to Jennifer but unfortunately he didn’t have an engagement ring at the time which caused some frustration between them. Nevertheless, she accepted his proposal because of the strong connection they had developed over the years and are now happily engaged.
Jennifer Hudson’s Comments On Her Fiance’s Complaints
Despite the lack of an engagement ring, Jennifer has no regrets about her relationship with David. In fact, she finds it amusing that he would complain about not having one at the time they got engaged. “He was like, ‘Where’s my ring? Where’s my ring?’ and I said ‘We don’t have to have a ring right now,” she recalled during her interview.
Jennifer is thankful that their relationship has grown over the years despite the hiccup in the beginning. She believes that spending time together as friends first helped them bond on a deeper level and allowed them to get to know each other better before taking things to the next step.
Now happily engaged, Jennifer and David are excited for what lies ahead for them as a couple and take pride in their deep connection with one another. They look forward to starting this new chapter in their lives together and can’t wait until they finally tie the knot!
Conclusion
In conclusion, Jennifer Hudson’s comments on her fiance’s complaints are an example of how relationships can be complicated. It is clear that she has had to deal with these issues in her own relationship and it speaks volumes about the difficulties of being in a committed partnership.
My takeaway from this story is that communication is key when it comes to any kind of relationship. If one person isn’t happy, they need to voice their concerns so they can work out solutions together. Of course, some problems may not have easy solutions but at least both parties will know where each other stands.
At the end of the day, love conquers all and Jennifer certainly seems to have found that with her fiancé. She knows what matters most; having someone who loves you for who you are — ring or no ring!
