Wendy Williams has confirmed she’s off the market.

Williams, who recently split from her husband Kevin Hunter after 21 years of marriage, told “The Wendy Williams Show” viewers that there was someone she was “crazy about,” despite insisting she wasn’t in love.

Seemingly referencing being linked to 27-year-old convicted felon Marc Toblin, Williams, 54, said: “All right, listen. It’s not who you think. Mother doesn’t deal with children.”

She added, according to People: “It just so happens that I guess with my charm and wit I attract people of all ages. If you’re 27, like my new friend Marc — okay, relax. So here’s the deal. The paparazzi are chasing. [Marc is] from L.A. He came to New York, he had never been to New York before. And I am a hand-holder.

“If we go out, I am holding your hand. I went out last night for dinner with my executive producer David Perler and I held his hand.

“You all think I’m messing around with a 27-year-old — 27-year-old boys, quite frankly, do find me very attractive. I get it. But when it comes time for the comfort of a man, I need somebody in his 50s, too. And he’s got to work.”

Williams went on, “It helps that he’s a doctor. I am not going to say one more word. You’re not going to blow this for me. But he’s been married, his kids are in their 20s. And yes, he’s black. I know you’re wondering.”

After chatting about her love life, William went on to give fans an update on her health.

“Lymphoedema, by the way, I’ve been diagnosed,” she told the crowd on Monday, explaining why her ankles were puffy in paparazzi pics. “It’s not going to kill me but I do have a machine — and how dare you talk about the swelling of it all.

“I’ve got it under control. If [the swelling] in my feet never goes all the way down, at least I have this machine. I sit for 45 minutes a day. It’s the best party entertainer ever. Everybody [that] comes over wants to do it.”

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling, usually in the arms or legs, when someone’s lymphatic system is compromised.
