This year, in honor of Mother's Day, Jennifer Hudson received an early surprise on stage from her son last Thursday, May 7.
The singer and actress was in the middle of her programme when producers told her they had something special prepared backstage. Seconds later, her 16-year-old son walked out carrying a cake decorated with flowers, immediately leaving Hudson speechless.
'David!' she shouted before getting up from her chair and hugging him tightly as the audience cheered.
The emotional moment only became more touching when a member of staff handed David a bouquet for his mum. Hudson was already wiping away tears while trying to process the surprise.
'Y'all, this is my baby. Y'all got me again,' she said emotionally.
David explained that the cake was not random, but actually part of a long-standing family tradition.
'This is your mom's special recipe, so I made it for Mother's Day. I know it's special for you,' he told her.
Hudson immediately became emotional again while thanking her son and hugging him for a second time.
She later explained to the audience that the pound cake recipe originally came from her mother and had become something deeply personal for the family over the years.
'My mother always made this pound cake. And our family tradition, so for Mother's Day, birthdays, all special occasions. He always makes it for me,' Hudson shared.
