Did it take Wendy Williams’ husband confessing all his sins for her to finally admit their marriage is over?

According to The Blast, the daytime talk show host only filed for divorce after her husband Kevin Hunter made the bold decision to “come clean on everything.”

On Thursday, Williams’ attorney confirmed to the New York Post that the couple has split and is getting divorced.

“Thank you to everyone for respecting the family’s privacy during this time. Kevin is supportive of Wendy and they are working through this process together,” a personal representative for Williams told PEOPLE in a statement. “No additional comment will be provided at this time.”

Now sources close to the couple are reporting to The Blast that Williams’ choice to file for divorce took place quite a while ago although she has been putting on a brave face for her viewing audience. Hunter allegedly went to his wife to confess all of his alleged transgressions, prior to her electing to enter a sober living facility.
