Jennifer
Hudson Back With Sweetheart
12/14/07
American Idol
star Jennifer Hudson has revived her relationship with childhood
sweetheart James Peyton, a month after she traded him in for an American
football player.
According to the National Enquirer, Hudson, 26, has ended her fling
with New York Jets player Kerry Rhodes, 25 - and is back dating
maintenance engineer James Peyton.
A close friend tells the tabloid, "Jennifer was so caught up in
her own success - rising from American Idol finalist to winning an Academy
Award for Dreamgirls - that she had to leave James behind.
"Her family and friends thought she was making a mistake. James
had been wonderful to her - and it was not right to put him on the
backburner after she had made it big.
"They discovered the spark was still there and soon they were back
together."
