Socialites, it looks like congratulations are in order to Wendy Williams who just let us know that she is a married woman again!

The former daytime talk show host called Hollywood Unlocked’s very own Jason Lee this afternoon and shared a few updates on her life including the exciting news about her new hubby. Now, you all know Wendy doesn’t share full details unless she’s sitting in front of a camera with an audience. However, she did let Lee know that she recently tied the knot and that her new man’s name is Henry who is an NYPD officer! Wendy didn’t dish any further on her nuptials but she was thrilled to finally break the news about her husband to a good friend.

While that all sounds great, the 58-year-old did admit that she is still dealing with financial stress. She let Lee know that her Amex has stopped working but William Selby and her other close friend have been helping her maintain access to one of her accounts. Aside from that, Wendy Williams says she’s trying to stay positive even while still dealing with the family drama as well. Wendy told Lee that she has asked her entire team to keep her family away from her with the exception of her 21-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

The conversation ended there with Lee congratulating Wendy and offering her encouraging words.

Jason Lee and Wendy have been friends for a while. Back in May, Wendy, who had been MIA from TV for months and months, attended a Met Gala 2022 afterparty at The Standard with Lee. While speaking with fans who happened to catch them walking into the party, Wendy teased her comeback.

She should have been done a long time ago but she tried to make it work. They went to counseling but Kevin just kept lying to

Despite that, Wendy moved on and continued to deliver her show, even without Kevin by her side, who also served as a producer.
