Wendy Williams' new biopic and documentary, Wendy Williams: The Movie and Wendy Williams: What A Mess!, are both premiering on Lifetime on Saturday, and the films focus on the talk show host's rise to fame, along with her rocky family life.
While the biopic spends a lot of time exploring Wendy's relationship with now ex-husband Kevin Hunter, the couple’s son, Kevin Hunter Jr., also makes a cameo.
While Wendy talks about her son here and there on her show and Instagram, he mostly lives a BTS life. But who is Kevin Hunter Jr., exactly? Here’s the lowdown.
He’s 20.
Wendy marked Kevin Jr.’s birthday in August with an Instagram pic packed with mementos from his childhood and birth. "Today is my biggest day!" she wrote in the caption. "Son Kevin and I are celebrating his 20th birthday. He’s in Miami and I’m in NYC, but love never stops."
She continued, "If you look closely you'll see remains of 1st hair cut, my [cervical stitch] is on sneaker, like a mom... I DO have all his teeth😂I'm not a fan of cake, but today OK...for my son❤ What are you doing?"
Kevin Jr. has a rocky relationship with his father.
He pleaded not guilty in June 2019 to charges that he assaulted his father. According to TMZ, Kevin Jr. allegedly punched Kevin Sr. in the nose during an argument. Kevin Sr. did not press charges.
He’s supportive of his mom.
Kevin Jr. was there for his mom when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a moment that Wendy later celebrated on Instagram. "My son shine! 💙💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️," she captioned a photo of herself kissing Kevin on the cheek.
Kevin is a rainbow baby.
Wendy has opened up about the struggle to conceive Kevin Jr. She said during the 2015 PBS special American Masters: The Women's List, per Essence, that she "fought tooth and nail to be a mother. I suffered several miscarriages including two at five months." Wendy also added that her son is a "hard-won child."
He has overcome a drug addiction.
Five years ago, Wendy shared on her show that Kevin Jr., then 15, overcame an addiction to the synthetic marijuana, K2. She later spoke about the experience with ET, saying, "Our son, three years ago, he smoked K2. Now this is a drug, we see it on the news, people are walking around like zombies."
Wendy said her son "became someone I didn’t even know." But, Wendy said, her family got help for Kevin Jr. "I’m glad to say we were able to bring him back all the way around," she said.
Kevin's currently in college.
He goes to school in Miami, according to Page Six.
