Pictures of Jennifer Hudson Walking in LA with Son David Otunga Jr.

Jennifer Hudson gathered her girlfriends for a walk around Beverly Hills yesterday. She and her pals spent the afternoon with her young son, David Otunga Jr., who has been by his mom's side practically nonstop over the past week between their quick getaways and rigorous award season schedule. Jennifer was solo, though, when she helped lead the reddish trend on the star-studded carpet at the Academy Awards. Her V-necked Atelier Versace number was a hit, and Jennifer went on to have a ball in the ceremony and at the afterparties — check out some of her post-show fun in our top 15 candid photos roundup! Jennifer's little one has been her main man recently, but she recently told fans on Twitter that she's absolutely still engaged to his father, David Otunga.
