Her talk show made its grand return to the airwaves this Monday morning after going on hiatus for a little over two weeks.

During the Hot Topics segment this Monday she promised the viewers: 'No more hiatus, by the way, until the end of the season.'

Meanwhile as far as her personal life is concerned she is dating a contractor named Mike Esterman who lives in Maryland. 

They met through a recurring Date Wendy segment on her talk show where she crowd-sourced a boyfriend from a series of contestants.

Mike, 53, is 'age-appropriate, and he's got jokes,' Wendy said, selecting him on the February 26 episode of the chat show.

After their two-day first date he gave an interview to Access sharing that there was a 'spark' but that 'there was no sex.'

'I want to go back to New York, I'd love to get to know her a little bit more,' he said, gushing that 'she's very interesting.'

Meanwhile near the end of March she said on her show that they were trying to make long-distance work amid the ongoing pandemic.

'He lives in Maryland, and I live here. Because of the virus, you can't do all that traveling. You can't. A smart one doesn't,' she said while clarifying that 'I'm going to see him this week,' and dishing: 'We talk all the time.'

Wendy filed for divorce from her husband of 22 years Kevin Hunter in April 2019 after his affair with massage therapist Sharina Hudson resulted in a baby.

During their marriage Kevin was also Wendy's manager but the professional relationship has been severed along with the romantic one. 

However they have remained co-parents to their son Kevin Jr., a 20-year-old who is currently away at college in Florida. 

Mike understands Wendy's circumstances to a degree as he was also cheated on by a girlfriend he 'treated like a princess,' he told The Sun

In recent interviews Wendy has said she is open to the prospect of getting married again but unwilling to move in with a man.
