Who is Wendy Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter?
WENDY Williams is famous for talking about Hollywood’s relationship drama.
But her split from ex-husband Kevin Hunter Sr. became the hot topic, and a new biopic about her life tells all about their troubled relationship.
Who is Wendy Williams ex-husband Kevin Hunter?
On October 26, 2021, it was made public that Kevin Hunter is engaged Sharina Hudson, the woman he reportedly cheated on Wendy with.
The ring was allegedly bought in 2020, for an estimated value of $80K.
Kevin Hunter is the ex-husband of TV host Wendy Williams.
He was born in Ontario, Canada before moving and working in the States. Kevin became Wendy’s second husband in 1997 and the former couple share son Kevin Hunter Jr. together.
Wendy’s ex used to be a former producer on her daytime show, The Wendy Williams Show.
In her new biopic, Wendy said about the early days of their relationship: “Kevin may not have been the man that my mom had prayed for, but he was the man that I had prayed for: A thug with a heart of gold,
“Kevin saw me. He loved the whole of me. And I loved him for that. Plus, I felt safe with him, like he could protect me.”
When did Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter divorce?
A judge finalized the pair’s divorce in January 23, 2020 and officially ended the 22-year marriage.
The former couple cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of their breakup, and have both agreed to forego spousal support.
According to documents seen by TMZ, the pair agreed to sell their Livingston, New Jersey mansion, each receiving 50 per cent of the profit.
Wendy got to keep their Florida home, while Kevin kept the proceeds of a house in Morristown, New Jersey, that he recently sold.
The couple previously shared a production company, and the documents showed that Kevin had to sell his half to Wendy via a lump sum, plus a severance package, although the figures remain confidential.
It came to light in 2019 Kevin reportedly fathered a child with his longtime mistress, Sharina Hudson, and Williams “plotted to divorce” him after his longtime mistress gave birth.
She said in 2019: “I never thought that I would be in this position. I’m a very forgiving person, but there’s one thing that I could never be a part of, and that one thing happened.”
She branded him a “serial cheat” and claimed to have known about his extra marital activities with the woman “for almost 15 years of our marriage.”
She told The Jess Cagle Show: “The first time I found out was while I was pregnant with our son on bedrest.”
He allegedly split his time between the New Jersey home he shared with Wendy, and a $765,000 house he bought for his mistress nine miles away.

How many children do they have?
The former couple have one child. Their son, Kevin Hunter, Jr., was born in 2000.
Kevin Jr ended up in a physical altercation with his namesake father on one occasion in May 2019, after he was upset by Kevin Sr allegedly asking his mother for spousal support.
Kevin Sr reportedly “put his son in a headlock”, while his son “punched him in the nose to break the hold”.
The 20-year-old was arrested for the assault, despite his father insisting:”I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally.”
