Sounds like it’s the beginning of the end for Wendy Williams and her allegedly unfaithful husband, Kevin Hunter.
According to reports, the couple are laying the groundwork for a separation after 22 years of marriage. This news comes a week after we reported that Hunter’s alleged mistress of as much as 10 years, Sharina Hudson, gave birth to his child in a Philadelphia hospital.
Wendy and Kevin’s separation would be messier than most, however, because the two are also professionally entangled: both are partners in Wendy Williams Productions, the company that produces her daytime show, and Kevin remains Wendy’s longtime manager.

For this reason, sources say it would be “difficult” for the business partners to separate like any ordinary couple, so they’ve been exploring just what a separation would look like for them. An insider explained:
“There is a discussion about what happens now — everyone is asking, ‘How can they possibly stay together?’ Wendy still loves Kevin, but her health is at stake…They are so tangled up together in business, so they are carefully looking at what a separation could entail. It will be difficult.”
The pair have been married since November 1997. The two share a multimillion-dollar home in Livingston, NJ, and are the parents of 18-year-old son Kevin Jr..
Earlier this month, we reported that the TV personality admitted she is battling an alcohol and unspecified drug addiction that was apparently triggered by her recent health complications and reports of her husband’s alleged mistress.
Wendy has been staying in a sober living home in Queens — a move that was said to be orchestrated by Kevin. She’s been able to film her show on weekdays, but all this off-screen personal drama is starting to take its toll on the daytime queen.

Last week, the 54-year-old coldly shut down an excited fan who attempted to give her a hug during an episode of The Wendy Williams Show in an awkward moment captured on film.
In the video clip shot by another guest, Wendy called the woman down to her stage to receive a prize — a navy blue T-shirt — and completely rebuffed her when the fan extended her arms in hopes of hugging the TV host.
The fan was at first excited as she made her way through the aisles to claim the prize, but got confused when she went to hug Wendy and the talk show host snapped:
“No hugging!”
Eeek! Watch the tense interaction (below).
The embrace denial occurred days after Williams experienced a reported relapse and was allegedly rushed to the hospital after being found drunk by her team. She returned to set the next day, but reportedly needed an IV bag of vitamins and minerals to get her through the taping.
Wendy did not bring up the incident and continues to keep her lips sealed about her marital woes.
Sounds like gurl could use a hug, TBH.
