Jennifer Hudson enjoyed Mother’s Day at Disney with her favorite person by her side: her son, David Otunga Jr.
The singer and talk show host shared photos from the outing on social media, giving fans a look at their day together at the park. In the pictures, Hudson and her 16-year-old son could be seen enjoying rides, and plenty of family time together.
“Mother’s Day the Mama Hud way !!! We had a time yal! Loved spending such a magical day at @Disneyland with my kid and my crew! Thank you for taking mama and making this day so special!!!” she captioned
The Disney trip came only days after David surprised his mom with an emotional early Mother’s Day gift during the May 7 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show.
Hudson had no idea her son was backstage before he suddenly walked onto the set carrying a homemade pound cake.
“David!” Hudson said as she stood up to hug him. “Y’all got me again.”
The moment became even sweeter after David revealed that he baked the cake himself using a recipe passed down through their family.
“This is your mom’s special recipe, so I made it for Mother’s Day. I love you,” he told her.
Hudson later explained that the pound cake recipe originally belonged to her late mother and has been part of their family traditions for years.
“My mother always made this pound cake,” she shared. “For Mother’s Day, birthdays, all special occasions, he always makes it for me.”
The surprise clearly caught Hudson off guard, especially after realizing why her son had been acting distant earlier that day.
“He said he was coming here today, and I’m like, ‘David ain’t got here,’” she recalled. “Then to hear you come out here, you done baked the cake.”
Hudson shares David with David Otunga Sr. The former couple welcomed their son in 2009 before ending their relationship in 2017.
