The rapper stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show to promote his new flick Just Wright which co-stars Queen Latifah. During the interview, Common told DeGeneres he “definitely” wants to get married. “I definitely want to get married. I would love to get married and have kids,” said Common of his 28-year-old girlfriend. “Actually, Serena and I have been close for about two years. It’s been evolving.” Common said that he gets “emotionally” involved in Williams’ tennis matches. “I sit there, and I’m just tense.  People try and talk to me, and I tell them to be quiet. I was sitting next to Richard Branson and I didn’t pay attention. I don’t care who is there. I’m focused on this tennis match.” The episode is slated to air tomorrow (May 14th) on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
