At the beginning of The Wendy Williams Show, Wendy talked about her weekend activities and talked about her rumored relationship with the New York City jeweler, William Selby.
She told audiences: “I was going along for a ride on Friday night. I was with my friend, Will, who is also my jeweler but … Will is my friend, he happens to be a jeweler, I’m probably low-paying clients. I’m not buying jewelry all the time.”
She continued: “I like Will a whole lot, he is involved with his family and he’s got a whole other life. We didn’t plan to dress alike.
“A lot of y’all said ‘You look like a couple’. No! We’re not a couple … and then we get on the studio and I put it in the ‘gram and we’re huddled because it’s freezing in there.”

She kept talking about the night and said: “Next thing you know, there’s accusations being thrown. I told you I like to hold on to people.
“Will is my friend, we are not a couple and I do not have a boyfriend.
“If I did, I wouldn’t have been out with Will.”

Just a few weeks ago, Wendy finalized her divorce from now ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the former couple cited irreconcilable differences as the cause.
Page Six also reported that the couple agreed to forego alimony and will split the proceeds from their New Jersey home which is currently on the market for $1.7 million.
The 55-year-old host agreed to keep a $1 million life insurance policy on herself that will go to Hunter should she die, but she has the right to reduce the amount on a yearly basis.

She had also previously paid Kevin over $250,000 to help him find a new home, as well as an undisclosed amount of money and severance payment from Wendy, Inc.
Wendy filed for divorce in April 2019 from Kevin after his mistress gave birth to their first daughter.
They had been married for over 22 years and share one son, Kevin Hunter Jr.
