KEY POINTS
- Wendy Williams shared a photo of her new boyfriend on Instagram over the weekend
- The "Wendy Williams Show" host suggested in the caption she brought her boyfriend to her son's 21st birthday party in Miami
- Williams didn't name her new beau but confirmed their relationship status
Wendy Williams has revealed that she has a new boyfriend, and she's making their relationship Instagram official.
The "Wendy Williams Show" host, 57, took to Instagram Saturday to share a photo of her inside a car with a man, whom she did not identify in the caption. It is unclear whether he has no Instagram account or Williams simply wanted to keep their romance private and thus did not tag her unnamed beau in the post.
"My son’s 21st birthday party on the yacht in #Miami was everything he wanted! Even my boyfriend," the talk show host captioned the photo.
Williams' post about her new boyfriend had many of her fans and celebrity followers sending her congratulatory messages.
"Congratulations! Well done Moma," Karen Huger commented.
"Happy that you’re happy Wendy!!!!" Milly Almodovar posted with heart emoji.
"You deserve all the happiness in the world," Devyn Simone wrote.
Williams' new romance came three months after she ended her fling with contractor Mike Esterman. The host and Esterman met on the "Date Wendy" segment of her show in February. Out of a handful of suitors, Williams chose him, saying he was "age-appropriate, and he's got jokes."
Esterman opted to split their date over two days so they could spend more time together. He told Access that they had a definite "spark." He saw her apartment and they had a great time together, but he clarified that there was no sex. The Maryland-based contractor said he wanted to return to New York City and get to know Williams more.
Meanwhile, the "Love Triangle" star didn't hide her interest in Esterman at the time. "I really like him, and he really likes me. Like it broke my heart when he was leaving. Like I walked him to the elevator and waited for the doors to close," Williams said.
However, Williams and Esterman's romance was short-lived. In an interview with The Sun in May, he said they were no longer seeing each other.
"I don't know if I can give her what she wants. Nobody called it a day, there's just no time to meet up. We talk when we can. I can't hold her back from meeting someone who can give her more," Esterman said. "She's allowed to meet others, we're not in that type of relationship. She will find someone."
In a separate interview with Page Six, he revealed that they were "never an item after three dates."
Williams also addressed their relationship on the May 12 episode of her show.
"The headline is that Mike and I have broken up. Well, I didn't know that Mike and I were together," she said. "I didn't say anything because I am that grown. We would have had this discussion way behind the scenes. I am not embarrassed because I'm that grown. But since childish ones, Mike — well no, he's giving quotes! I'm as available now as I was then. We were never boyfriend and girlfriend, so it wasn't a thing."
Williams was previously married to Kevin Hunter until filing for divorce in 2019. Their 22-year marriage ended after she discovered that Hunter had been cheating on her and even fathered a child with his mistress.
