The television personality, 58, admitted that she “can’t wait to fall in love” during an interview atWBLS 107.5 FM’s Circle of Sisters eventat Resorts World in New York City on Monday.
Williams revealed that she doesn’t “want to get married” but knows what she is looking for a new man.
“I want him to already have kids. I want him to be some place around my age, maybe 10 years younger than me, maybe 15 years older than me, you know what I mean,” she told host Jusnik. “Then, we’ll be able to do things together like we want to all of the sudden fly from New York City, if want to fly to France to be there from two days to have food or whatever.”
The former talk show host also got emotional when a fan praised her at the event — which is celebrating 20 years as “the original Black female empowerment expo,” according to its website.
“I have tears of laughter but also sincere [tears],” Williams replied. “Just thank you all so much for being here today.”
