The Final Straw

On April 11, the Dancing With the Stars alum served her husband, 46, with divorce papers while he was backstage at The Wendy Williams Show. Shortly after, Kevin was fired as Wendy’s manager and the show’s executive producer, a spokesperson for the show told Us Weekly on April 18.

Family First

Meanwhile, the New Jersey native has been leaning on her friends and family during this tough time, including her 19-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr. “He cares deeply about his mom and has been a rock,” an insider confessed. “Wendy took the proper steps to get better — not only for herself but for Little Kev, too. I would say he is the source of her strength,” they continued.

No Surprise

It’s no surprise that Wendy wanted to split from her man since there were rumors swirling around for years that he allegedly cheated on the TV personality with his alleged mistress Sharina Hudson for over 10 years. It sounds like this was all for the best.
