Jennifer Hudson is set to marry "real soon".
The "Dreamgirls" star and her fiance, attorney David Otunga, could tie the knot as early as this month, according to friends.
A source said: "It's going to be real soon. Some people think Valentine's Day (14.02.09). They're head over heels in love." The pair are believed to have grown even close in recent months after David helped Jennifer through the worst period of her life.
Last October, Jennifer's mother, Darnell Donerson, 57, brother Jason, 29, and seven-year old nephew Julian, were shot dead. The tragedy forced David and Jennifer - who got engaged last September after David asked Darnell if he could marry her daughter - put their original wedding plans on hold.
The source added to the tabloid?National Enquirer magazine: "She has gone through the worst nightmare of her life and she's finally coming out of it. Everyone is thrilled Jennifer is finally able to move forward again. "She says she knows her mother would want her to have a family of her own."
Jennifer recently returned to the stage, performing at the US Super Bowl last weekend. She will also sing at the Recording Academy's MusiCares Person of the Year Gala on February 6 and the Grammy Awards on February 8.
