The former pro wrestler proposed to the actress in 2008, and one year later, they welcomed their first and only child, David, 8. As Star reported in 2016, Hudson told reporters she and Otunga were taking “baby steps” towards marriage and did not want to rush into anything.

“It’s one excuse after another,” a source told Star of Hudson’s reluctance to walk down the aisle. “Jennifer keeps telling David that she just wants to be sure or that she’s too busy in the studio.”
