Jennifer Hudson insists she's "never broken up" with her fianc David Otunga.

The pair have been engaged since 2008 and have two-year-old son David Jr. together.

Recently there have been reports the couple haven't been getting on, and were planning to call time on their romance. Jennifer insists nothing could be further from the truth.

"We're going to get married," she told Access Hollywood. "I know they said we had broken up. We're never broken up."

The 30-year-old explained she and David have just been busy lately. Although they aren't always seen together at Hollywood events, that doesn't mean they are drifting apart.

"We're still here, but we're very busy people. He's always on the road, I'm always on the road," she explained. "We are together, we just do it at home in Chicago. That's our meeting place."

Jennifer was born in Chicago and the city means a great deal to her. When she does walk down the aisle she is determined to do it there.

David who has trained to be a professional wrestler agrees and the pair are looking forward to sharing their special day with friends and family.

Jennifer doesn't enjoy hearing negative things about her private life, but knows public interest in her relationship is part of her job.

Asked what she makes of the recent spate of celebrity break-ups, among them Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, she insisted romance is the same the world over.

"At the end of the day, we're all human and we all have our relationship issues and our human issues. I think because of celebrity, it's more magnified. We're people, too," she said. "We're all people and they're just going through people things, it's just magnified."
