“No rush to get married?” DeGeneres, 59, asked.
“I’m not in a hurry. He’s not going anywhere,” Hudson, 35, quipped.
Asked if they’re “happy and in love,” Hudson replied simply: “Yes.”

The American Idol alum has been dating Otunga, 37, since 2008, and the pair have been engaged for nearly nine years. They welcomed son David Daniel Jr., now 7, in August 2009.
Hudson has had wedding fever on occasion, however. Case in point: when she attended Ciara and Russell Wilson’s nuptials in England back in July.
“It’s been a thought obviously,” she told Essence magazine in August 2016. “After being at Ciara’s wedding, I’m like, OK. I don’t know, it inspired something. I just loved her dress. It was so beautiful. So that made me say, OK, all [of] my friends and peers are married now. You know what I mean?”
