Jennifer Hudson has found herself, and on the cover of the January issue of ESSENCE magazine, the Oscar-winning songstress is letting the world know.
When it comes to balancing a movie career and motherhood, recording a new album and staying oh- so-fit, JHud knows that she couldn’t do it without the love of her family and the lessons in faith her mother taught her. In ESSENCE’s piece, Rare Air, Hudson reflects on her greatest loves and how she turned her grief into triumph.
Speaking on her love for her fiance David, Jennifer says:
“I just love being with him. We have so much fun. We’ve shared so many special moments, like when we flew down to Key West last summer for a friend’s wedding. I’m on the road so much for work that I didn’t even want to go…but David persuaded me to go and it was just the two of us. We’re usually surrounded by so many people that it’s tough to have privacy. But on this trip we could party with our friends, then just disappear for hours…it was so freaking fun.”
On finally finding herself, she says:
“I spent my twenties figuring out what I wanted to do, and trying everything. But by 30, my foundation was set. I became confident and clear about the path I wanted to take…Now I’ve really settled into myself. And I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.”
