Despite having two failed marriages, Williams shared that she was still interested in finding love and has shared the qualities she expects her future partner to have.

During her appearance at New York City's WBLS for its Circle of Sisters event, the 58-year-old discussed her personal life, particularly her desire to find love once again after her previous marriages hit the rocks.

"The first thing I look at when I see men is, 'Are they wearing the finger?' 'Cause if they're wearing the finger, then that's an immediate hello, but I would love… I can't wait to fall in love, and I don't want to get married," the media personality revealed in a video posted by WBLS, per New York Post.

Having a sizeable bank account also seems to be one of the things Williams wants in a partner, as she noted that she plans to travel a lot and have special moments with him - all of which would require a certain level of wealth.

The former radio DJ said, "And then we'll be able to do things together, like if we want to all of a sudden want to fly from New York City, if we want to fly to France, to be there for two days, to have food or whatever. I want to be able, you know, I could be qualified with a man that [said], 'Come on, baby. Let's do it. Do we fly private, or do we fly public?"

William's visit to WBLS was her first public appearance since leaving rehab in October. She had checked into the facility back in September to deal with her alcohol addiction issues.

"It's gotten worse," a source said, per Page Six. "She went from wine to straight up vodka."

At the time, Williams had also fallen out with production company Debmar-Mercury, who runs "The Wendy Williams Show." Per reports, the showrunners refused to get help for the 58-year-old amid her struggles

"They turned their backs on her," the source added, "They had too much control over someone so vulnerable."

"Debmar would not support Wendy's recovery efforts with the family," William's ex-husband also remarked back in July. "They would not sign off on anything that would've helped her recovery efforts."

Williams has since exited "The Wendy Show" after starring as its host for over a decade. During its run on air, it was ranked as one of the most-watched syndicated talk shows on TV, averaging millions of viewers per day.

It aired its last episode on June 17, 2022, but still had reruns on most TV stations until September 9. "The Wendy Williams Show" was subsequently replaced by "Sherri," named after its host, Sherri Shepherd, who manned Williams' former show while she was away dealing with her health and personal issues.

In the meantime, it is expected that Williams will be venturing into new projects, such as a podcast that will be executive-produced by her manager Will Selby. According to TMZ, probable guests include Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, the Kardashians, and a member of the Trump family.
