Wendy Williams has a new husband in her life.
The 56-year-old talk show host got cozy on Thursday with her new boyfriend, CEO Mike Westerman, while enjoying a date in New York City.
She looked glamorous in a floor-length fur coat and carried a coveted black alligator Birkin bag while she was through town.
New romance: Wendy Williams, 56, gets out with new husband Mike Esterman after the couple met at a dating game she played on her show
The eccentric talk show combined the white and brown fur coat with a pair of white furry boats.
She held down her dyed blond locks as she carefully walked to a waiting car.
Esterman – who works in the real estate business – wore a navy blue blazer with a matching polo shirt and dark blue pants.
The two first met on the Williams talk show when they were playing a dating game.
Williams shared an Instagram of the couple from their day out captioning it, ‘Mike and I are having fun !! Glad he is a REAL gentleman. ‘
They had already developed a loving relationship, and the TV star could be seen resting her forehead against Esterman’s while they were in the back of a car.
During their virtual meeting over her show’s dating game, Wendy had jokingly said she liked Esterman’s job as a contractor because it meant he was good with his hands.
He is good friends with Mario Lopez, a friend of Williams, who has put in a good word.

Both Williams and her new date wore masks to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, but she shocked Dr. Oz earlier this week when he asked if she was planning on getting the Covid-19 vaccine while she appeared on his show.
‘No. I don’t trust it, ”she replied.
She also said she never gets a flu shot, despite the fact that tens of thousands of people die from the flu every year.
While there are currently two vaccines available that require two doses, a new vaccine has recently been approved requiring only a single dose, which may help speed up the vaccination rate.
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.

While Wendy looked carefree on her New York walk this week, she recently ran into legal trouble after she and Hilary Duff, 33, were accused of libel and slander by a photographer.
In court documents obtained by The Blast, Darryl Wilkins claimed he was confronted by Duff for allegedly taking photos of her son Luca, eight, while he was playing football.
However, he insists he was just trying out a new camera and not specifically trying to photograph her son.
Hilary filmed her meeting with Wilkins and posted it to Instagram, although the video has since been removed, but Wendy defended her on her TV show.

Public confrontation: According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Darryl Wilkins claimed he was testing his new camera in a park last February when Duff confronted the man for allegedly photographing her son
Wilkins charged Duff with defamation for “ reprehensible and despicable behavior, including through insinuations that he was a child predator, ” and he included Williams in the lawsuit for repeating the allegations made about her show.
In her caption, Hilary Wilkins called a ‘creep’ and said he was a paparazzi.
In his documents, he said these were “false statements because Wilkins is not a pedophile or child predator and tried to photograph as a photographer and not as a paparazzi or stalker or with malicious intent or evil crimes.”
He claimed that her words ’caused him direct damage in connection with his profession’ as he faced general damage to his reputation, business, trade, profession and occupation.
