Jennifer Hudsonmay be an EGOT recipient, but her son David Daniel Otunga Jr. just earned his own reason to celebrate.

Otunga received a few nods from some of Hudson’s friends in the comment section, includingViola Davis,Tamar Braxtonand Jacob Latimore.

For her second post, Hudson uploaded quite a few sweet moments from the graduation festivities — including one of Otunga cheesing for the camera, and a few images with Hudson, too. During the ceremony, she wore a stunning rainbow dress with plenty of jewelry and held up cute signs with his face on them.

Hudson also tried on the blue graduation gown herself, and Otunga posed with a few other family members as they cheered him on.

A video within Hudson’s post also showed a plane carrying a sky banner that read: “Congratulations DOJ! And class of 2023!”
