JENNIFER! HUDSON! PREGNANT! OR NOT?

// April 22nd, 2009 // Hott Gossip

many reports are conforming her pregnancy

“But now ‘Essence’ has yanked the story down, and Hudson’s reps are firmly denying the rumor”

I never believed this d*mn rumor in the first place.

In a fun game of back and forth, various outlets have both confirmed and denied that American Idol alum and platinum-selling star JENNIFER HUDSON is pregnant.

“Essence” ostensibly confirmed the story earlier today, speaking with “two close sources” to Hudson. Various gossip blogs, including Perez Hilton, quickly jumped on the story, blasting that Hudson was one hundred percent for sure with child.

But now “Essence” has yanked the story down, and Hudson’s reps are firmly denying the rumor. When the Chicago Sun-Times reporter Bill Zwecker emailed Hudson’s representative Lisa Kasteler, he got back a simple, straightforward reply of: “Jennifer is not pregnant.”

Sorry celebrity baby fans, but it looks like Hudson isn’t going to be a mother quite yet.

Hudson is currently engaged to DAVID ORTEGA, though the two haven’t set a date for the wedding. She’s on tour through May 8 with ROBIN THICKE.
