Jennifer Hudson Talks New Album, Weight Loss, Family, New Acting Roles & More on ‘The Breakfast Club’

As Jennifer Hudson makes her promotional rounds for her new album JHUD, it should be no wonder that she stopped by Power 105’s The Breakfast Club.

The album, which was released yesterday, serves as the follow-up to 2011’s I Remember Me and features an all-star line-up of artists that lend their vocals for singles, including R. Kelly, Iggy Azalea, T.I. and Timbaland. While rumors swarmed that her relationship with her fiancé David Otunga was on the rocks, Jennifer knocked those down as she spoke very highly of her beau.

Also touching on her son, her weight loss journey, working with Pharrell, tour for the album, upcoming acting roles, and her new edgy sound, it’s refreshing to see J.Hud bring so much positivity to the show.
