The rapper-turned-actor stars in Just Wright (which opens this weekend), and was doing a little publicity for the film on Ellen DeGeneres's show, when the subject of Serena came up. The 28-year-old Chicago native admitted, "I definitely want to get married. I would love to get married and have kids."

"Actually, Serena and I have been close for about two years. It's been evolving," continued Common.

It sounds like it can be intense dating one of the premiere tennis stars in the world. For instance, there's watching the matches. "I sit there, and I'm just tense... and people try and talk to me, and I tell them to be quiet," said Common. "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.
