Jennifer Hudson To Marry Punk

It’s official. A rep for the Oscar-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson told People that she’s marrying I Love New York 2 cast-away Punk. The couple, who have kept their relationship as quiet as possible, got engaged Friday night on Hudson’s 27th birthday. Hudson and Punk — i.e., David Otunga (guess he just outgrew his nickname) — have been together for less than a year.

In an interview with the VH1 Blog, David was open about falling in love with New York during last year’s show, and we can’t help see irony in the fact that he’s now marrying a woman that has Dreamgirls under her belt and a new movie (The Secret Life of Bees) opening next month while New York is hussling to land a semi-respectable Hollywood gig.

Last year, we saw Punk on reality TV squirting whip cream on his bare chest in an attempt to turn on VH1′s H.B.I.C. This year, we’ll see him on the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

    Jenn, think of it before you do something like this..First of all what happened to your soul mate? You know the man that was there for you when you were nothing? Also, Punk(David) I really hope all your intentions are upstanding. We as women need to be more careful when we bring a man into our lives especially when we are successful. Sometimes we get blinded by the affection and attention. Jennifer you are looking great these days and you have prospered very much. My only hopes is that you allowed yourself to heal from your last relationship. And that you allowed yourself to grow and appreciate what you have and how far you have come since you have been single. Having a husband does not validate you as a woman. Remember that and keep god in your life and make sure he does too!

    I think Tiffany Pollard is a joke anyway.
    She is playing a role formoney not anything else.
    Someone needs to take her down a “breast” or 2.
    Congrats Jennifer on a successful man.

  • MzKiKi says:

    OK..i didn’t watch the “I Love NY” shows, so i’ve never seen this guy before. However, i wish i knew J-Hud, if only to ask her one question: how well do you REALLY know this man ? Seriously..my gaydar has been going W00-W00-W00 ever since i looked at the picture of him. Girl, when it comes to choosing men, neither Star Jones or Terry McMillan are good examples to follow. Think about it.

    They dont make a cute couple at all.

  • PUNKLUVR says:

    DAVID/PUNK,

    I’M SO GLAD YOU DIDN’T GET STUCK WITH THAT FOOL NEW YORK. SHE LOOKED LIKE FRED FLINTSTONES DOG D-I-N-O.YOU ARE WITH A BEAUTIFUL, DOWN TO EARTH WOMAN WHO CAN HOLD HER OWN. HONOR HER AND CHERISH HER. YOU MAKE THE BEST COUPLE I’VE SEEN YET.

  • kissable says:

    Lmao @ Mzkiki…”woo woo woo” hilarious!!

  • Shanda says:

    Ok Jennifer, we don’t want your story to be another Terry McMillan. But if he makes you happy, who are we to judge. I wish you all the happiness that your heart and hands can hold. God Bless.

  • samantha says:

    I think that Jennifer should have married the guy on her video Spotlight. He was fine as HELL!!!!!!!! Also, David is fine as hell to but anyone who falls for a hoodrat like New York is hard to trust.

  • Debra Conner says:

    Ms. Hudson should not marry Punk for the fact that to me it’s going to be the same thing like with New York, she need to look at the fact of what is he doing for his self. Jennifer is a very beautiful woman, she shouldn’t settle for less, if he’s not doing nothing for his self, whats the use, he is a waste. He just got off a reality show, now he have met a beatiful, strong black, prominent woman, to me she could do better, she should take her time, and not settle for anything before she end up like brit and kefed. That boy was broke until brit divorce him. Us young woman need to take are time we go through to much.

  • Debra says:

    Shanda that’s all gravy to wish someone happy but when you are in the spotlight, some one that came from a reality show might not be a for sure one to be with i wish her happiness to and hopefully he’s the right one, but on the other hand what is he doing, is he working.

  • Debra says:

    I agree with crystal if you do get a prenup

  • Debra says:

    I also agree with the other message about ms.hudson marrying the sexy guy on her video, that man has something going what about punk.

  • kim says:

    If I was Jennifer Hudson and these pictures were still on your website. I would problemly re- think the wedding. The picture look offer and nasty. David on those pictures you do look kind of gay. I think you were trying to hard. I thank you look more manly and handsome without the extra hair and the glasses. Newyork and David looked so nasty togather. I wanted to loose my lunch. The both of you looked hard up. I believe he still have feelings for Tiffany. I love you Jennifer, just please be careful. I do not think you two are thanking the same. Jen you are thinking marriage, and he is still on the singer tip. Trying to gain fame at any cost. The whole Newyork image it is time to loose.

  • stefanie says:

    that _`^&#()~#%`_~%&+ is nasty. what the hell u was thinking kisss that monkey dog that dont have know hair and her mother dont either. her hair line is push all the way back. Thats an ugly @)!~*))$!`#`^($ family newyork has

  • Whateva says:

    Jennifer really move on!! He is a fame whore and admitted it!! Anyone that pretends to fall that hard for NY (ewwwwww) is desperate for the limelight. He was best known for the VH1 show wayyyy before he was with you. Why do successful talented women settle for the bottom of the barrel men??? And where is NY!! Never mind seriously I could care less. Yuck!! And yes he looks a little sweet.
