Jennifer Hudson + David Otunga = Engaged!

Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson is engaged to David Otunga, aka Punk!

“I can confirm that Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in L.A.” her rep tells People.

Otunga, who tried to win Tiffany Pollard’s heart on a VH1 reality show (I Love New York 2), popped the question with a Neil Lane diamond ring on the Dreamgirls Oscar winner’s 27th birthday.

Congrats to the happy couple!

I am flabbergasted. She said she would never leave her longtime boyfriend. I guess the fame went to her head.

AGREE SARAH….WHERE IN THE WORLD DID HE POP UP?….And to MARISA NUMBER # 15……….. Jared NEVER said that HE was on American Idol…..Only Jennifer was…. he was on I love New York 2, the reality show………I’m happy for her because she has come along way since Idol….She appears to be very sweet and caring, and I hope this dude does NOT take advantage of her….( gold-digger )???..He is not the most handsome thing around, so I believe everyone is shocked, as they have never appeared out anywhere…At least not that I have seen or read about……CONGRATULATI0NS TO YOU JENNIFER, AND I WISH YOU THE BEST. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woha! where the hell did that come from?! Congrats….. I guess.

2 words…”Sugar Mama!!”

OMIGOD, Congratulations.

Number 7 & 25, SHUT-UP!!

Very disappointed with J.Hud. Hollyweird has gone to her head. This won’t last…trust!

they need to post a better picture of “punk”. He’s got the gay face, but i guess that should work for jennifer hudson. moo.

Had no idea they were even an item…but congrats to them! He seemed like a really nice guy on I love New York.

oh Jennifer you can do better than that…women today are so desperate for a man. Jennifer he is ugly, he was on a show trying to get another triffling womans love and so since she did not choose him, you allow yourself to be second? Last thing he look like he on the down low! Be careful girl!

Good Luck and congratulaions. The person who said that they are both really ugly is the ugly person in that situation. In order to inflict pain on others, you have to be in pain yourself. God help you, number seven. You are a nasty jerk.

This is absolutely crazy!!!! First what happened to her longtime high school sweet heart? The one who she LOVED SOOO MUCH, HER SOUL MATE-He was this chubby guy who stood by her through thick and thin, her whole coming into hollywood BS, and she dumpd him for a guy because he is good looking and has been on TV too? Just goes to show you what Hollywood can do to you-Then you have ” Punk”, how the hell does he go from a sexy woman like New York who dresses up in her barely there outfits, with all her make up and always looking perfect to fat ass Jen Hudson the american Idol doo- gooder who shakes when she sings and looks like a mis fit from the island of mis fit toys- this is fucked up- If it lasts it has to be because Punk is out for money and Jen is out for a decent looking guy with some big ass muscles. I feel sorry for Jen’s x boy friend, she used him bad and now she will learn the hard way- watch out Jen, Tifffany Pollard could come back any time, what do you think Punk will do then? Stick by you0 YEA RIGHT !!!! LOL_ HARD TIMES AHEAD YOU FOOL!

Unless any of you know why she and her last bf broke up, I think you need to hold your roll with the judgements. Why is it automatically her fault they’re not together any longer? Why even say ish like “she’s gone Hollyweird?” when you know nothing? Maybe James Peyton showed HIS true colors. Maybe HE went hollyweird and wanted to ride her coattails. Maybe her new man IS the right man who knows how to roll in the world she lives in.

Stop acting like somethings wrong with her because she hasn’t made YOU privy to her every move. It’s her life not yours or mine so stop tripping.

I like it when a new Star has a boyfriend or girlfriend who is not famous. They say oh we have been together for sooo long. I would never……

Then you go and get engaged to some guy who has been on I love NY. Her stock just plummeted in my book.

TOO BAD.

Reminds me of Whitney Houston and her choice of Bobby Brown.
Talented no marbles when it comes to judgment.
Hundred bucks says he has Anger Management issues.

Did he say he was a lawyer on I love NY? Is he the one with the creepy looking mother and sister?

Life is full surprises, good for them!

Damn…I just….damn, LOL. I’m sorry but he just reminds me so much of Terry McMillan’s ex-husband, the down-low and all! He may not be, but I thought that when he was on NY2 as well. Jennifer has her reasons for her actions. Hey, none of us know the story regarding her childhood sweetheart and their break up. However, did you notice in the interview she said he’s always HOME waiting for her…I just wonder if that was a figure or speech or was he home as in unemployed, LOL. Her beau is supposedly an attorney and graduated from an ivy league school, so hopefully he can hold his own. Anywho, best of luck to them both!

She’s crazy for trying to rush and marry these guys so soon, first it was her long time boyfriend from before she became famous; now it’s this guy who’s looking for fame and attention himself who knows what his true intentions are. Jennifer, you need to enjoy your blessings of fame and fortune first then think about sharing all you worked hard for with a long time life partner; he look’s gay anyway, mess around and be another Terry Mcmillan situation!!! Date and be patient God will send you the right man if you ask him too!!

I love Jennifer but, I think she should wait a while, enjoy the blessings that God has blessed her with first and while being patient pray for God to send her the right man. This guy “punk” or whatever, yeah that’s the right name for him because he looks gay and he’s starving for fame and attention himself. Besides whatever happened to the first guy she was engaged to, the long time boyfriend who was with her before she became famous???

Congrat. to both . I love you Jen but be very cautious he looks like Terry Mcmillian Ex (if you know what I mean). Not feelin him for her but whose to say maybe opposite do attact. Blessings to both.

Why would that beautiful woman get engagaed to that ugly man? She could have just stuck with the first ugly dude she was with before she became famous instead of running to another, equally ugly jack…

JENNIFER as you biggest fan i say you made the right desion to get punk and punk please treat her right and i want you to never fall in love with new york again and good luck and best wishes

she can do what ever she likes.dont care.

No. 10 HTH would you know that he is the best looking man Jennifer has ever had?

Why the hell can’t he be the one that is starry eyed about her?

OMG!!! Isn’t this the guy who shares spit with Miss New York? YUCK!!! He’s handsome and has a nice body. Don’t know he wanted to make it with that ‘New York’ chick. Glad he came to his senses and found someone with ‘class’.
