Wendy Williams has a new man in her life.
The 56-year-old talk show host was seen petting her new boyfriend, CEO Mike Westerman, on Thursday, while they had a date in New York City.
Looking glamorous in a fur coat down to the floor, she carried a coveted black crocodile Birkin bag while in town.
New romance: Wendy Williams, 56, goes out with her new boyfriend Mike Esterman after the two met in a dating game she played on her show
The eccentric talk show specialist combined the white and brown fur coat with a pair of white fur boats.
She kept her blonde-dyed locks down as she carefully walked to a waiting vehicle.
Esterman – who works in the real estate market – wore a navy blue blazer with a matching polo shirt and dark blue pants.
The two met on Williams’ talk show when they played a dating game.
Williams shared an Instagram of the couple from his day off and added the caption, ‘Mike and I are having fun !! I am happy that he is a true gentleman. ‘
They had already developed an affectionate relationship, and the TV star could be seen resting his forehead against Esterman’s while they were sitting in the back seat of a car.
During the virtual encounter in his show’s dating game, Wendy joked that he liked Esterman’s job as a contractor because that meant he was good with his hands.
He is a good friend of Williams’ friend Mario Lopez, who gave a good word.
Dating again: Later on Thursday, Wendy revealed that she had gone out with Mike Esterman, whom her friend Mario Lopez suggested she try out.
Both Williams and her new partner were wearing masks to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, but she shocked Dr. Oz earlier this week when he asked if she planned to get the Covid-19 vaccine while appearing on her program.
‘No. I don’t trust that, ‘she replied.
She also said she never gets a flu shot, despite the fact that tens of thousands of people die of the flu every year.
Although two vaccines that require two doses are currently available, a new vaccine that requires only a single dose has recently been approved by the FDA, which may help to speed up the rate of vaccinations.
On Tuesday, President Biden announced that there would be enough vaccine doses for all American adults by May, although it may take longer to distribute them all.

Risky business: ‘No. I don’t trust it, ‘she said after Oz asked if she would get the vaccine. She also stated that she never had a flu shot
Although Wendy appeared unconcerned on her tour of New York this week, she recently had legal problems after she and Hilary Duff, 33, were accused of slander and defamation by a photographer.
In court documents obtained by The Blast, Darryl Wilkins claimed that he was confronted by Duff for allegedly taking pictures of his eight-year-old son Luca while he was playing football.
However, he insists that he was just trying out a new camera and not trying to photograph her son specifically.
Hilary filmed her meeting with Wilkins and posted on Instagram, although the video has already been deleted, but Wendy stood up in her defense on her TV show.

Spreading: After Hilary filmed a photographer allegedly taking pictures of her eight-year-old son Luca in a park and called him an idiot and a paparazzo, Wendy repeated the statement on his show
Public confrontation: according to court documents obtained by The Blast, Darryl Wilkins claimed that he was testing his new camera in a park last February, when Duff confronted the man for allegedly photographing his son
Wilkins accused Duff of slander for ‘reprehensible and despicable conduct, including insinuations that he was a predator of children’, and included Williams in the process for repeating the statements in his program.
In his caption, Hilary called Wilkins ‘weird’ and said he was paparazzi.
In his files, he said these were “false statements because Wilkins was not a pedophile or predator of children and was trying to take pictures as a photographer and not as a paparazzi or stalker or with bad intentions or evil transgressions”.
He claimed that her words ‘harmed him directly with regard to his profession’, as he faced general damage to his reputation, business, trade, profession and occupation.
