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!

Congrats, Jennifer on your engagement, and I love your song Spotlight.

To # 42… Yes that what i was thinking.

and to J, if you like it i love it… but keep an i eye on your ****

Oh no u didn’t Jennifer, thought u had grown up but not PUNK
Coudn’t u afford that ring yourself
Better learn to protect your goods.u are in show biz
Hope ur new BF is really a lawyer to me he is looking for fame

Can’t she see what he is really after? …a little more than 15 mins of fame!…first with the reality tv, not to mention that it was a show about winning somebody’s affection. he couldn’t win NY’s afftection so he went after Jennifer…what a shame that she has fallen for it. Didn’t really even make him work for it…can you say pre-nup!?

I don’t know why Jennifer is marrying this man. This man is gay and if you don’t have dust in your eyes you can clearly see this. She is going to be like Star Jones and Terry McMilian. This is a big mistake.

I am happy that jennifer has found someone that makes her happy. I just hope it doesn’t turn out 2 B like Terry McMillian’s marriage to Jonathan Plummer or Star Jones marriage to Al Reynolds because this guy lookes like he’s on the D.L. if you get my drift!

Well guys, Punk AKA David Tunga is actual an upstanding young man with a Harvard or Yale Law Degree. We can forgive his misfortunate appearance on ILNY. He bring his own money to the table and may be able to aid Jennifer in her future dealings with record companies and movie companies not to mention that his body is banging (I just had to go there). I think that if they make sure people are not in their business they will do fine. Punk is very intelligent and should be an asset to the relationship.

WTG Jen and David

#66. I only gave your long comment a few minutes, but easily your grammar could stand a check itself. There are more problems, but you might look up the following words: believe, verbatim, separate, decent, different, a lot, proves, embarrass.

WHAT???? I am totally J-E-A-L-O-U-S…..
Congrats anyway*)~

If anyone read his bio, they would have realized that “Punk” is very successful himself. With a Law degree from Harvard and working for one of the largest firms in the country - love isn’t based on the money at all. Who really knows why Jennifer and her previous love didn’t last. Sometimes you have to get rid of the dead weight if it holds you back. I am certain that the ring given to her at 5 Carats wasn’t on her credit card statement. For those with the negative feedback, you are probably lonely and to yourself - you probably had a man once upon a time, but he used you because you allowed it. Grow up and leave happiness alone - as you are.

I think that we have sum haters…..why can’t u all just be happy for them?It’s her life and she’s a grown ass woman who makes her own choices.If she has to learn the hard way,then let her.SHE’S STILL RICH…
Plus,if they don’t last i’m gonna go and find “PUNK” my damn self and take him home with me!!!LMFAO.
Congrats 2 u both & i wish ya’ll luck in the future….
Besides,maybe she didn’t wanna live under her ex’s ’spotlight’ anymore…..LOL:)~

I agree with lookingin and could add many more to the list for Grammar Girl Basher #66. How about using an apostrophe every now and then: she’s, not shes. And you were critical about a multiple use of the word “black” in one sentence (”you forgot to tell us she’s black-LOL): What about your sentence including “Then you Poor ,Poor, girl, your last final statement “. Uh, you forgot to tell us it was her last or was it her final statement, or are these words pretty much the same? Pick one and use it. You wrote “from what i hear”. See anything wrong with that? i do! Here are just a couple more, and thank good ness for cut and paste as you say: Simon on American Idols (there is only one); as sad as i am; Well, like you say we do things when we are bored and I am with you. No ebonics you say? PEACE OUT!!

I hope he is not taking advantage of her to get recognition as he did on New York. I would like to know what happened to her long time boyfriend. Did she ditch him for fame… has she gotten the big head. If so I feel sorry for her…because what goes around, comes around.

I think that it is a good thing that she is getting married. I just hope that he isn’t using her for the money. I feel also that she came a long way from where she use to be. But this would be the first time knew that she was even dating the guy. But like Beyonce and Jay Z they kept their relationship quiet for a long time, who’s to say they didn’t?

Congradulations Jennifer and David

I wish you guys all the happiness!!!!

a future marriage made in reality hell…..

jennifer dropped here longtime boyfriend a custodian, James Payton for Punk. So I guess she felt that she would be the only money maker in the house being that Punk graduated from Harvard Law shcool

Good Victoria #27 - it seems as though you didn’t read article that Sarah #24 posted please do that. She quoted “He is stationary, stable, a home base. I’m on planes, here and there and always on the go. It’d be a whole different story if he was moving around, too. Instead I have a patient, understanding man who’s there for me when I get home. He’s home to me.”
What do that tell you, DUHHH her fame went to her head

Is this guy coming from KENYA he sounds like the Obama race they are so hot does he have a Kenyan root!!!!!!!???????

Wasn’t he trying to get into the entertainment arena? Well I guess he has made it! Can’t you see him smileing an waveing on the red carpet more than Jennifer. Pre-nup, pre-nup, pre-nup!!!!
