Jennifer Hudson on the Today show May 15/09Oscar-winning actress/Grammy-winning singer  Jennifer Hudson, 27, who experienced tragedy in her life last year when her mother, brother and nephew were murdered, has something wonderful to look forward to — she and her fiancé, lawyer-turned-reality-star David Otunga are expecting their first child. The news was first reported by the Chicago Tribune, following a baby shower held in her honor in the city last weekend. Hudson, who is reportedly seven months pregnant, doesn’t not yet know the gender of the baby — she’s going to let it be a surprise.

    mandee, are you still on here? I see you’ve been given a pretty rough time on here lately, so I just wanted to say don’t worry about fools like that, you’ve got the rest of us on your side.

    Thats a nice comment tributegirl. I just read a whole bunch of trash from one person who seems bent on dissing mandee… or maybe just seems bent period! Its all very very boring and even a bit creepy so mandee, hang in there! Your posts always sound so honest and thoughtfull.

    That’s awesome. What happened last year is beyond terrible. I hope this brings much joy to her life. And not sure if they caught whoever did that, but let’s cut off his/her/their hands too. Sweet revenge!

    Carol, I think it was Jennifers ex-brother-in-law. I’m pretty sure he has been arrested, but haven’t heard anything about it since.
    lily, I’ve seen that person on here before, he/she just seems to only come on here to pick at people, this time mandee took the brunt of it unfortunately.

    really, it’s bad enough when that happens, but when it is someone “close” to the situation, it must make it a million times worse.
