Wendy Williams Divorce

April 17, 2019 3:17 PM Tyler Edmondson

According to People, Wendy Williams is splitting from longtime love and manager Kevin Hunter. The daytime talk show host filed for divorce Thursday after two decades of marriage.

“Thank you to everyone for respecting the family’s privacy during this time. Kevin is supportive of Wendy and they are working through this process together,” the personal representative for Wendy Williams told PEOPLE in a statement. “No additional comment will be provided at this time.”

A representative for her show released the following statement: “Wendy and her family have been a part of Debmar-Mercury for over 10 years,. We respect their privacy regarding personal matters. As always, we remain committed to bringing an entertaining and topical show to our viewers.”

Williams, 54, and Hunter, 46, wed on Nov. 30, 1997, and share son Kevin Jr., 19.

Earlier Thursday, Williams hosted her show without wearing her wedding ring — or mentioning any marital issues.

The breakup news comes after a difficult time for the TV personality, who recently revealed that she was living in a sober house. (She has long been open about her past addiction to cocaine.)

And she took an extended hiatus from The Wendy Williams Show from January until March, saying she needed to recover from a fractured shoulder and take care of herself due to her battle with Grave’s disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.

But they had their struggles: Hunter cheated on Williams after she gave birth to their son, a painful period she described in her memoir Wendy’s Got the Heat.

Still, they were plagued by persistent rumors of Hunter’s alleged further infidelities ever since.

“I stand by my guy,” Williams said on her show in September 2017. “All is well in Hunterville. Don’t believe the hype and if there was hype, believe me you — I would let you know!”

When she came back from hiatus last month, she once again refuted reports of a split.

“I’m still very much in love with my husband and anyone who’s been married … you know.”

“Marriages have ebbs and flows, marriage isn’t easy. And don’t ask me about mine until you see this gone,” she added, gesturing to her wedding ring.  “And it ain’t going anywhere, not in this lifetime.”

This was Williams’ second marriage.

Premarital Agreement Attorneys in Wylie

Divorce is a scary and sometimes ugly situation. The couple has been working together for years on the Wendy Williams Show and have a net worth near $60 million dollars. Between books, endorsements and hosting the show, Williams brings in an estimated $15 million dollars per year. Because of how public the divorce is, it is possible Williams will pay a lot of money to get it over quickly and quietly. Turns out New York is a fault state and with Hunter’s infidelity and fathering a child with his mistress, there could be grounds to divide the estate in favor of Williams.


It is believed that the couple does not have a prenup. Most lawyers recommend you get a prenup if you are a high earner or have assets you want to protect. Drafting a prenup takes a lot of negotiation, but the end result will protect you. They can be used to protect property designated for children of a previous relationship, protect one spouse from the debts of the other, distinguish separate property from community property, and other purposes.
