Wendy Williams has a new man in her life, and it's comedian Gary Owen.
Sources tell Breaking Celebrity News the 56-year-old television personality took the 46-year-old comedian to the reopening of Scotto in New York City on Thursday as her date.
Williams and Owen sat together in a booth, smiling and laughing as they chatted up a storm, insiders tell us.
Their debut as a couple comes on the heels of the comedian's very flirty appearance on The Wendy Williams Show earlier in the day, which incited quite the negative reaction from Gary's estranged wife, Kenya Duke.
The two are in the middle of a nasty divorce battle after 17 years of marriage and 23 years total as a couple.
Kenya felt the comic/actor should have spent his one-on-one interview plugging his current film project, The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2, instead of speaking publicly about their split.
Tagging him in a lengthy statement on Instagram, Kenya wrote, "You wanted more of my attention, so here I am. I tried not to respond but with so many untruths it was necessary to address your lies and your friend."
