Coco Jones isn't related to Jennifer Hudson despite striking resemblance

Publish date: 2024-03-26

Coco Jones and Jennifer Hudson addressed the striking resemblance they share and fans can’t help but wonder if the two stars are related.

Often, celebrities who share common monikers are mistaken to be related to each other by blood. A similar confusion swept social media at the beginning of 2023, when fans thought Rebel Wilson and Owen Wilson could be related, owing to their last names.

However, in the case of the Bel Air actress and the ICU singer, the startling similarities between them has prompted many to ask them if they are related.

No, Coco Jones and Jennifer Hudson aren’t related to each other.

The stars are mistaken to be related solely because of their appearance. It’s difficult to tell them apart, especially when they carry similar looks.

The actress appeared on the latest episode of the Jennifer Hudson Show when she confessed she is frequently mistaken and that she has started playing into it at this point.

Coco couldn’t be happier about being mistaken for Hudson, whom she admires.

“I take it as such a compliment because you know you have been so impactful in my life. Just watching you, another beautiful dark-skinned woman, killing it. That’s my motivation,” she said.

Actress is willing to play the singer in a biopic film

Not only is Coco loving all the attention she’s getting for looking similar to Jennifer, but she is also ready to turn into the latter on-screen.

Jennifer says people keep asking what actress must play her should they make a biopic film, when Coco’s name keeps popping up.

On hearing this, the actress adds: “Stop playing with me. I’m ready at this point.”

Even when Jennifer is asked if she’s Coco, the singer goes with the flow, without correcting confused fans.

Coco is currently starring in the Peacock original series, Bel-Air.
