'I'm rediscovering my love of men!': Wendy Williams reveals she's back on dating scene for first time in 22 years after split from cheating husband
Wendy Williams has revealed she is embracing her new life as a bachelorette following the difficult end of her 22 year marriage.
The daytime talk show host, 54, filed for divorce from husband Kevin Hunter in April after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed he had fathered a child by another woman - his longtime mistress Sharina Hudson.
She discussed her new relationship status on Tuesday's show and revealed she is back on the dating scene and rediscovering her 'love of men.'
'I am a single woman running around New York,' she declared, later dishing that she does indeed 'date', and 'often.'

'I right now am a young and pretty New York City girl. I have the ultimate bachelorette pad high atop everything. I have a really really good view and I'm reclaiming my life.'
'I don't have a boyfriend, but I must admit I'm rediscovering my love of men. And, you know, transparency, I do date and I date pretty often,' she dished.

Wendy is usually all about the 'hot topics', she asked audiences to respect her privacy as much as possible at this time.
She understood the irony, however, telling the crowd: 'I am working on my divorce pleasantly right now... When I say "pleasantly", I ask of you, please... It's hard to say "give privacy" because I don't give privacy when I'm doing the rest of the stories. You do what you want, you always do.'
Wendy also explained how she and Kevin are still trying to cooperate as parents 19-year-old son Kevin Jr.
'You don't just throw away 25 years lock, stock and barrel,' she said of the split. 'I gotta tell you something right now as a mature, almost single woman. We do have our son and he is away in college and he's home right now, he's home for college break, he sees me, he sees his dad.'
'Reclaiming my life': Wendy (above on Saturday) said she is enjoying living in her New York City bachelorette pad
Last week Wendy lashed out at her cheating husband's mistress during her show's chatty opening.
'There are a lot of women with no respect for a marriage,' the 54-year-old said.
'For you lonely girls who can't keep your hands off other people's men, there is a hot place in hell for you!' Williams added, but never mentioning Hudson, 36, by name.
This is the first time Williams has ever directly spoken about her husband and mistress' relationship after DailyMail.com revealed their decade-long affair in 2017 and that Hunter was spoiling Hudson with a Ferrari, diamonds, designer duds and setting her up in lavish homes.
DailyMail.com revealed Williams knew about Hudson for years but allowed Hunter to continue the affair as long as it did not cause her any public embarrassment.

Williams served Hunter with divorce papers last month and DailyMail.com revealed that she gave him just 48 hours to clear out of their home.
She reached her tipping point with Hunter after learning he had been living the high life with Hudson, splurging on Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and gifting her with diamonds -- all paid for with Wendy's money.
DailyMail.com revealed back in 2017 that Hunter was having an affair with Hudson and had set up a separate home with her a few towns over from Williams' mansion.
But it was giving birth to his child that reportedly pushed the TV star over the edge.
Hunter released an apology admitting he was not 'proud of his recent actions' and was 'trying to right some wrongs' while taking 'full accountability' for what he had done.
Williams has since started her 'new life', moving into a new apartment on the lower west side of Manhattan.
Wendy was previously living in a sober home in Queens for a month, DailyMail.com revealed, but had said on her show that she was ready to move out and start a 'new life' with her fellow recovering addict son Kevin Jr, 19.
