After two years of dating and talks of potential marriage, the two celebrities have split. It hasn’t been made completely official by Serena and Common, but a close source of the rapper says that the two “grew apart”. An article was released in In Touch Magazine, stating that the actor/rapper Common is looking to focus more on his acting career.
The couple was spotted at the movie premiere of Date Night back in April, but then on May 4th, Serena Williams attended the premiere of Just Wright without him. Just last week, he was on the Wendy Williams show, where Common was talking about marriage. He said that it would be a great thing, but he couldn’t say that right now, and that he would love to be married and have children one day. If it happened to be Serena then it would be a “lovely thing” he stated. (Doesn’t seem like there will be any engagement rings poppin’ up any time soon).
In another interview, Common was talking about being one of the great actors and that acting was now his creative medium. Guess he caught the acting bug.
“My hip-hop background really can’t catapult me to where I want to be as an actor,” Common told The Philadelphia Inquirer last week. “I do acknowledge that hip-hop has built a foundation for me in the way that it allows me different experiences as a performer and taught me how to endure when you’re dealing with difficult situations. But acting is a different medium. I know I have to go through the process of training and the things that it takes to become a great actor. And my goal is to become one of the greatest.”
He has an upcoming album called The Believer, which is set to drop this coming Fall.
