In 2009, they welcomed their first and only child, and fans thought they would walk down the aisle after the delivery of their son. However, they never did until their fallout.
During their romance, they both admitted their love and maintained their intentions to spend forever with each other. However, Hudson later defended the lateness by saying she is not an advocate of divorce, so taking baby steps, enjoying the relationship as it is, is how they chose to roll.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
In 2017, the lovebirds called it quits and engaged in a roller coaster of court meetings trying to reach an agreement on their child's custody.
After they separated, the singer claimed her baby daddy was abusive, and she requested a protective order against him. This was denied by the ex-wrestler, who dubbed the accusations to be false.
In 2019, they reached a settlement concerning their son but kept it private from the press ever since the duo has been co-parenting amicably and displays their invaluable relationship with David Jr. online.
During his 11th birthday, the singer marked the celebration via a cool party with a Nerf-themed cake in the company of family and friends. The celebrant had another party where his dad presented him with a Captain America-themed cake.
While David Jr. looks like his dad, he also inherited some traits from his celebrity mom. Hudson's son has a fantastic voice, which makes her proud. Still, she admits to wanting her mini-me to live a normal and private life, away from the press and different from hers.
