"The Wendy Williams Show" host got emotional when discussing the state of her relationship with her estranged husband, from who she filed for divorce, while appearing on SiriusXM’s The Karen Hunter Show in New York City.

Choking up with tears, Wendy said on Tuesday, July 23, "My name is Wendy Hunter. That's my son's name. You can't take away twenty." She then added, "Don't make me cry."
"I'm happy, I'm healthy…I'm at peace with the world and everyone around…I'm going through a situation in my family," the 54-year-old TV personality went on saying.
When Karen asked if there was a chance of them getting back together amid Kevin's cheating allegations, Wendy quickly responded, "No! Don't ask. Girl. No. Don't ask." She added, "I know what you're saying…but my family's good, and we'll always be family."
