‘Say It Ain’t So’: Wendy Williams Reportedly Has No Real Plans to Divorce Husband, and Fans Want Answers

When Wendy Williams announced last month that she was finally divorcing her husband of more than two decades following his mistress reportedly welcoming their love child, fans rejoiced. Now, however, they’re worried about new rumors that the talk show host doesn’t actually have any real plans to divorce her husband after all.

The comments came under a new photo Williams posted on her official Instagram page Monday.

“Up to thangs!!!” Williams captioned the May 20 photo snapped at Hudson Yards in New York.

Many fans applauded her happy-go-lucky spirit.

“Love You Wendy โค๏ธโฃ๏ธ, Living Your Best,Look At God, Many Blessings LOVE ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ”

“Dippin and Doin It! Yesssss ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ”

“Happiness looks good on you wendy.”

But others wanted answers to claims that Williams may be trying to work things out with Kevin Hunter, who is said to have carried out an affair for over a decade with Sharina Hudson. Hudson was later rumored to have given birth to the alleged couple’s baby in late March.

“Let us find out youโ€™re still with that husbandโ€ฆ”

“Word on the curb is that you’re not divorcing, and you’re still romantically involved with ‘dude.’ At least that’s what @therealunwinewithtashak said. It’s not my business but, say it ain’t so. I’m rooting for you either way ๐Ÿ˜•”

“I hope she’s not going back to him.”

The rumors emerged from YouTube user unWinewithTashaK. The video blogger claims Williams is secretly saving her marriage to her one-time manager, despite axing him as an executive producer on “The Wendy Williams Show” and dissolving the nonprofit Hunter Foundation, which Williams launched with Hunter.

“You won’t find any records of a divorce or anything pending a divorce or anything filed as such from Wendy Williams-Hunter and Kevin Hunter because these two are still together,” Tasha K says in the May 17 video before asking when she’s ever said anything about the talk show host that turned out to be false.

Tasha K asserts that a source told her the estranged spouses are still seeing one another and is showing off a new, happy outlook in order to save her talk show. She also claims Williams is staying at a Manhattan apartment with Hunter, who slips in and out of it in disguise. Meanwhile, Tasha claims the source informed her Hunter’s mistress has been “shipped off” to the Dominican Republic.

Previously, the Daily Mail reported that Hudson and Hunter moved out of their Morristown, New Jersey, home last year and Hudson moved into โ€œa very nice apartment in Manhattan [Hunter] pays for.โ€

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
