Common and Jennifer Hudson are officially a couple.

Common and Jennifer Hudson confirmed their relationship in an upcoming interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show that will air in full on Monday. The news comes after nearly two years of speculation about whether they are dating. Hudson shared a teaser for the interview on Instagram, on Sunday.

“Let’s get down to business, Mr. Common,” Hudson jokes in the clip. “I’m a host, and so I have to ask you this question, because everybody always wants to know this. Are you dating anyone?” From there, Common responds: “So, yes. And I’m in a relationship that is (with) one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, in life. She’s smart. She loves God. She has something real down to earth about her. She’s talented. But I set my standard kind of high because she had to have an EGOT. She had to win an Oscar on her first movie. I set my stand high. She had to get her own talk show."
