A select few family members have stayed at Williams’ side to support the former talk show host. But how many kids does she have to also help her through these troubling times?</p>

<p id=”par-2_75″>Williams was 32-years-old when she gave birth to her first and only son, Kevin Hunter Jr, in August 2000. Her son was named after her ex-husband Kevin Hunter. Kevin’s middlename, Samuel, also paid homage to Williams’ grandfather. Although Kevin was her only son, Williams wouldn’t have minded having more children. But she’d already gone through a certain degree of punishment trying to conceive Kevin, and didn’t want to push her luck by having more children.</p>
<p id=”par-3_59″>“I fought tooth and nail to be a mother,” Williams said on the PBS special <em>American Masters: The Women’s List </em>(via <a href=”https://www.essence.com/celebrity/wendy-williams-opens-about-motherhood-miscarriages-and-marrying-younger-man/”>Essence</a>). “I suffered several miscarriages including two at five months. That’s when you have the clothes already picked out, the nursery is already painted. They ask you do you want a funeral or do you want the cremation.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_50″>“We went through that not once but twice, me and my husband. So our Kevin is a hard-won child. I would’ve loved to have had more children but I don’t want to test my blessing. Being a mother is for me. It’s not for everybody. It’s for me,” Williams added.</p>
<p id=”par-5_128″>Unlike his famous mother, however, Kevin has lived a private life. He started college in 2019, and graduated from Florida International University on December, 2024. Williams, who was rumored to be incapacitated at the time due to drug abuse, was seen attending Kevin’s graduation ceremony. He has a bachelor’s degree in economics and, according to <a href=”https://theblast.com/649088/wendy-williams-behind-scenes-graduation/”>Blast</a>, plans on going to law school. But because of his mother’s circumstances, Kevin has found himself thrust back into the spotlight. He’s been helping take care of his mother as she deals with her health issues. But for Kevin, helping his mom might also mean taking away her dream of returning to TV again. On the documentary <em>Where Is Wendy Williams</em>, Kevin questioned if his mother <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/wendy-williams-son-questions-getting-care-really-needs-sources-claim.html/”>was getting the care she needed</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>“My mom, she always talks about how she wants to work, but I feel as though she’s worked enough,” he said. “She has people around her that are ‘yes people’ and allowing this to continue.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_40″>If Williams is to be believed, both her health and wealth have brought out the worst in certain members of her family. Including her son. Williams accused her son of stealing money from her before she was placed under conservatorship.</p>
<p id=”par-8_34″>“My son, he overstepped his boundaries in terms of me. He overstepped his boundaries and he was inappropriately using my money without telling me crap about it,” Williams said in an interview with <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=tfVW8TgUzhg&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fentertainment%2Fwendy-williams-accuses-son-inappropriately-200414999.html&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY”>TMZ</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-9_49″>Williams’ finances reportedly took a sizable hit after her <em>Wendy Williams Show </em>was canceled. On <em>Where Is Wendy Williams</em>, she lamented over the fact that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/wendy-williams-lose-all-money.html/”>she had no money</a> thanks to her team taking advantage of her finances. She seemed confident that her son was one of those opportunists.</p>
<p id=”par-10_56″>“My son is a really good person. Look, my son is a good person. But at this point, he is a horrible person to me,” she said. “The way he moves with other people, and what’s going on with these other people in my apartment in Miami. ‘What are you doing? Oh, you spent on what?’”</p>
<p id=”par-11_12″>But Williams reminded that Kevin wasn’t solely responsible for her financial woes.</p>
<p id=”par-12_25″>“He has a way of getting with a couple of other people. My son is not the only one involved with my money,” Williams said.</p>
<p id=”par-13_27″>However, in his mother’s documentary, Kevin claimed that he never spent any money without Williams’ consent. Instead, Kevin believed Williams lost money due to her own overspending.</p>
