Common Denies Dating Whoopi Goldberg On ‘The View’ After Teasing He Was In A Relationship With An EGOT: “I Didn’t Get A Chance To Shoot My Shot”
The View was lucky to welcome Common onto their show just one day after the rapper and actor dropped some major news about his love life.
While appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show yesterday (Jan. 22), Common seemed to confirm he was dating host Jennifer Hudson herself, sweetly saying, “this relationship, for me, is a happy place.”
Of course, when Common joined The View today, they couldn’t resist a few follow up questions. Sara Haines kicked it all off, asking, “When people talk about you, a lot of the headlines lately — I know you’ve probably noticed — people want to know what’s going on in your love life.
“You were on The Jennifer Hudson Show yesterday,” she continued. “And when Jennifer asked if you were dating anyone, you shared — you never actually named names, though — but you said, you know, there were an incredible list of attributes about your partner.
“You said she’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life, smart, talented, had to have her own talk show, had to have an EGOT,” Haines recalled. “So, I want to get a little more specific right now: Are you dating Whoopi?”
While Common appeared nervous he’d have to dish more about his personal life to The View, he broke out into a smile at Haines’ joking suggestion as she turned and gave her co-host a knowing wink.
Whoopi Goldberg remained expressionless, unwilling to reveal if she was, in fact, dating that morning’s guest.
As the audience cheered and laughed, Haines added, “This is a safe space,” while Joy Behar egged Common on by chiming in, “Yeah, come on!” and Sunny Hostin quipped, “You can put it out right here.”
Common replied, “If the shoe fits. Well look, Whoopi does fit all those attributes. I didn’t get a chance to shoot my shot, so…”
When Goldberg finally spoke, she defended Common, telling the audience, “He’s busy, OK? Don’t start no stuff with me and Jennifer!”
Common laughed as he insisted, “It’s all love,” then struck a more serious note, telling Goldberg she is one of his “greatest inspirations” and adding, “You do so much. I just want you to know that. You look beautiful, you look wonderful.”
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
