Common then went on to explain how he listens to divine conviction when making major life decisions. “For me, everything is divine. I work from the discernment that God speaks, when he speaks into your stomach and you feel it in your heart and your spirit, so when I would feel that, I will communicate with the person, and if she’s feeling that, then why not?” he added. Does Jennifer Hudson feel that way? Very much so! We can tell by the way the If This Isn’t Love singer couldn't stop smiling when Common talked about his type (who is her) on her show.
