Tiffany Haddish Compares Relationship with Ex to Daycare and Shares Surprising Reaction to Her New Lady Jennifer Hudson
Three years after describing her relationship with entertainer-turned-actor Common because the “healthiest” she’s ever experienced, comedian Tiffany Haddish now compares their breakup to a toddler unexpectedly saying goodbye to a friend on the playground.
The ‘Haunted Mansion’ star seems glad for her ex and his recent love, talk show host Jennifer Hudson, speaking fondly of the 2 during an interview with Hoda Kotb on her latest podcast:Creating Space with Hoda Kotb aired on Wednesday, May 8.
The episode, titled “Tiffany Haddish on Life, Loss and Laughter,” explored the comedian’s great loves mentioned in her book. She talked about her mother, first best friend, grandmother and the “Glory” rapper.
While they were talking about her recent book titled “I Curse You with Joy,” Kotb asked her if Common was within the book.
Haddish said the book features men with whom she previously had bad relationships, but claims her relationship with the Chicago native was “great.”
The host then asked what he considered Common’s recent woman, and Haddish replied, “I love Jennifer, girl, please.”
“I hope they have fun,” she added. “I had a good time (when I was with him).”
Hudson and Common sparked 2022 dating rumors, which were apparently confirmed during his appearance on her talk show. Haddish has previously thrown shade at their relationship, leading some to call her jealous or suggest she hasn’t fully come to terms with her split from Common.
Common reacts to his appearance on JHudShow. He also says if he’s the married type and if she’s “the one”
“At some point in my life I might want to do this… so when I feel it, I’ll reach out to that person and if they feel it, then why not?”

But the “Night School” star said it had a “weird ending.”
“It’s like remembering when you were a kid and you were on a date and everyone was like having fun, having a good time,” she explained. “And then suddenly you all feel like going down the slide, and then you turn around and say, ‘Where did they go?’ Where did they go? Where did they go?”
“And you see them waving at you and their mother carrying them. And they said, “Goodbye.” That’s what it looked like,” she said.
Haddish explained that she felt this manner: “We had a superb time. Why did you stop playing?
This is not the primary time he’s mentioned Common interrupting the fun.
In a July 2023 interview with The Washington Post, she said: “It wasn’t mutual. Rather, he was the one who said, “I think this relationship is over.” And I said, “Okay.” Like you are supposed to be a 50-year-old single man. APPROX?'”
This directly contradicted the narrative painted by chart-topping “I Used to Love HER.”
On Jason Lee’s “Hollywood Unlocked,” Common said that he and his ex had “reached an understanding” and that their breakup was “mutual.” However, she claimed it was not mutual.
In April, Haddish shared with People magazine a special version of how they began dating. Over the years, they’ve told the story that they first met on a Bumble date, and in 2019, they met on the set of “Kitchen.” Haddish now claims that Common pursued her for years, wanting to be her lover.
“The only star I have ever met. He pursued me for two years before I finally said, ‘OK, let’s do something.’ “It was the height of 2020,” she said in an interview with People, later revealing, “We met in early 2018, 2017.”
Haddish and Common’s relationship began in 2020 and lasted until August 2021. According to the Los Angeles resident, she missed quite a few red flags before Common ended things over the phone, including him not inviting her to his celebration.
Despite the awkward breakup, she still says she treasured her time with the Oscar winner. Now, after several attempts at dating, she has launched into a journey of self-love. Haddish recently revealed that she has been practicing celibacy for six months.
“I just don’t desire to sleep with just anyone, you understand? “I just feel like, dang, I’m the prize and these guys have to qualify,” she said.
“When I think about my accomplishments and who I have associated with it, it takes me about a year to warm up,” she added. “It seems easy. I do not know, I practiced rather a lot. So I feel like I’m taking out my sexual frustrations during training. And then, as I said, gadgets.
Haddish also talks about her abstinence from sex and alcohol in her recent book, hoping that this version of herself – even without Common – is the most effective yet to come.
