During his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday, Jerry spoke about his twins Dolly and Charlie, 13, and revealed that David would make a much better suitor than the boys they currently "hang out with".
When Jennifer asked Jerry what it was like to have him as a dad, he jokingly replied: "It's terrible. I embarrass them as much as I can, especially now they're attempting to enter, like, dating stuff."

Jennifer nodded her head in agreement, signaling that she was going through the same motions with her own son, which led to Jerry giving David his seal of approval.
