Jennifer Hudson Covers Essence Magazine

Jennifer Hudson graces the cover of the June 2009 edition of Essence magazine.

She sits down with the magazine to share loving memories of her mother, Darnell Donerson, brother and nephew, who were murdered last year (October 2008). “I was always a mama’s baby,” Hudson tells the magazine. “I’d go and sleep in her bed until I was 15 years old.”

Hudson also talks of upcoming nuptials to her fiance David Otunga and much love and support he has provided for her during the darkest moments of her life. “We don’t talk about it,” says Otunga, who received Donerson’s blessing before he proposed to Hudson on her 27th birthday last September. “In this time when things seem so uncertain for her, there is certainty in our bond. She doesn’t have to worry about losing me. I’m always going to be right here.”

Awww, it seems like J Hud may have landed a do right man after all.
