WENDY Williams is on the hunt for a new boyfriend, and she’s put out a casting call to help her on her search.
Just days away from Valentine’s Day, the talk show host, 56, is looking for a new guy in her life after her nasty divorce from ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
Wendy recently detailed her problematic marriage to Kevin, from start to finish, in her Lifetime documentary.
She slammed him for being a “serial cheater” and for having an affair while she was pregnant with their son Kevin Jr. and later fathering the child of another woman.
After she learned that he had a mistress and got her pregnant, Wendy decided to leave Kevin, and their divorce was finalized in 2020.
A year and a few flings later, Fox producers have sent out a press release revealing that “Wendy Williams IS BACK ON THE MARKET,” according to Page Six.
The casting call is for “fun men that can handle Wendy” who are between 40 and 65 years old.
The submission deadline is Thursday, and the press release noted that they’re “casting a WIDE net” for the talk show host.
“This is not a joke,” the email sent out added.
Seemingly, Fox producers are searching for “high-profile” options for Wendy as the casting call was being sent out to publicists to share with their clients.
An insider told the outlet that they’re not looking for a random “schlub from the street.”
Wendy’s desire to find someone new and completely move on from ex Kevin comes after she detailed their relationship last month in both a Lifetime documentary and a biopic.
Leading up to premiere night, she spoke with Extra about the title of the film, Wendy Williams: What a Mess, explaining it’s really how she feels about her past relationships and many aspects of her life.
TV personality Billy Bush asked if it was a “cathartic experience” to be able to put her marriage with Kevin at the center of this movie and air out all of her feelings about it.
Wendy sharply replied: “It was cathartic to get him out of my life, to divorce him.”
She explained: “Kevin cheated on me while I was pregnant with my son… and I found out and I could’ve divorce him then, but I said, ‘No, I have a son and I’m not going to have any more children.'”
The Wendy Williams Show host continued: “…I didn’t want him to leave me by myself. And I knew Billy, it was not till death do us part.
“Kevin was a serial cheater, Kevin had different mistresses… This last one was the one he had the longest term relationship with.”
Wendy and Kevin got married in 1997 before welcoming their son in 2000.
She filed for divorce almost two decades later, in 2019, after Kevin fathered a child with another woman.
Since then, the host, who recently lost her mother, has been seen out and about with mystery men and friends and going on dates.
