Wendy Williams, estranged husband list N.J. home for $1.9M. This season has been ‘hell,’ she says. – NJ.com
In April, Wendy Williams filed for divorce from her husband, Kevin Hunter.
The split arrived in the wake of cheating rumors and reports that Hunter’s alleged mistress had given birth to a baby. The news hit not long after Williams, 55, announced on “The Wendy Williams Show” that she had been living in a sober house.
Now, Williams and Hunter have put their Livingston home on the market. They listed the house for $1,895,000 on Thursday. The 5,700-square-foot house, which has five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, is located in Livingston’s Bel Air neighborhood.
Williams, who grew up in Ocean Township, has since moved out of the home and is now reportedly living in Manhattan.
In 2009, the couple paid $2.1 million for the house, which has undergone several renovations since.
In April, Hunter reportedly called police to report intruders at the home.
Williams and Hunter had been married for 21 years. They lived in the home with their 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr.
In May, the teen was arrested for allegedly assaulting his father at a store in Essex County. Reports said he had punched Kevin Hunter in the face.
In June, Kevin Hunter Jr. pleaded not guilty to simple assault. The case was later dismissed.
The elder Kevin Hunter, a producer who was cut from the lineup at “The Wendy Williams Show” in the wake of the divorce filing, is reportedly seeking spousal support from Williams, along with child support.
Williams addressed her tumultuous year on the season finale of her talk show on Friday.
“This season has been, well, hell for me, in a weird way,” Williams told the audience. “I appreciate doing this show because it’s my one hour where I get to be fun and forget about stuff. You’ve seen me pass out this season, you’ve read in tabloids and the paparazzi and all that, but through it all, my one joy, aside from my son and my family, is you.”
Williams also cleared up speculation that her show might soon come to an end.
“I’m not doing this show forever, but I certainly will be back for season 11,” she said, referring to the upcoming season, which starts in September.
Williams has taken several breaks from the show in the past two years, which she said allowed her to seek treatment for Graves’ disease, the autoimmune condition she lives with, and to heal a fractured shoulder. Only later, after media reports surfaced showing pictures of Williams outside the sober house, did she talk about her living situation at the time within the context of her history of addiction.
The talk show host also recently shared with her audience that she is now dating a doctor.
Amenities in the Livingston home include a gourmet kitchen with furnished with granite, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry and large center island.
A finished basement provides another 2,500 square feet.
The master suite on the first floor comes with a marble bathtub, jacuzzi, steam shower, sitting room and two large walk-in closets. The family room has a wood-burning fireplace. There is also a library with cherry wood bookcases. The backyard features a koi pond and sports courts.
