Wendy Williams isn’t just aging gracefully — she’s doing it with a side of marinara and a whole lot of fan love!
The iconic talk show host kept her 61st birthday festivities going strong over the weekend in New York City. On Saturday, Wendy was spotted leaving Rubirosa where she dined on Italian fare with her niece, Alex Finnie, and Alex’s fiancé, Eric.

As she exited the restaurant, Wendy was met by a crowd of cheering fans telling her they loved her — and in true Wendy fashion, she flashed a huge smile, waved back, and shouted a cheerful “Hey” while in great spirits.
When a photographer asked for an update on her guardianship status, Wendy didn’t miss a beat, cheekily responding, “You see me walking, don’t you? Am I walking like I’m free?”
