In the forthcoming days, viewers will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the personal life of Wendy Williams as a Lifetime documentary is set to release. Known for her candidness, the daytime talk show host has never shied away from sharing intimate details, from her recent diagnosis of dementia and aphasia to her tumultuous relationships, including those with her ex-husbands.
Williams’ marital history includes two marriages, both ending in divorce. Her first husband was Bert Girigorie, a sales and marketing professional, whom she married in 1994. However, their union was short-lived, with the couple divorcing just a year later. Girigorie later opened up about their relationship, revealing that tensions escalated rapidly after their wedding, leading to strained dynamics and eventual separation.
Following her divorce from Girigorie, Williams found love again with Kevin Hunter. Hunter, initially a beauty parlor owner, later became known as an executive producer and manager, heavily involved in Williams’ professional endeavors, including The Wendy Williams Show. Despite their seemingly successful partnership, Williams disclosed in interviews that Hunter had been unfaithful throughout their relationship, even during her pregnancy and bed rest. Despite her awareness of his infidelity, Williams remained in the marriage, citing her burgeoning career and their son, Kevin Jr., as reasons for staying.
Ultimately, Williams and Hunter ended their marriage in 2019 amid reports of Hunter fathering a child with another woman. Hunter was subsequently relieved of his duties as Williams’ producer, and he later established his own production company. Meanwhile, Williams continued to navigate her personal life in the public eye, revealing in 2022 that she had remarried.
The intricacies of Williams’ relationships and the aftermath of her divorces shed light on the complexities of her personal journey, which she continues to share with her audience, offering glimpses into both her triumphs and struggles.
