Vanessa Williams reveals she ended her 6-year marriage in 2021: ‘I’m in love with life’

How long before we hear that she’s in a relationship with a woman?

.

Vanessa Williams revealed that she quietly ended her six-year marriage to businessman Jim Skrip in 2021. The 61-year-old actor opened up on Wednesday about her divorce.

“I’m doing what I love, and I’m in love with life,” Williams told People. “There is not one person that I’m in love with, but I’m in love with everybody.”

Looks her age. How does this happen?

Oh, honey, Vanessa Williams - what a gem. She just quietly ended her marriage? I can’t even *quietly* end a conversation at a dinner party without causing a scene, let alone a marriage! But that’s Vanessa for you - classy, graceful, and always with that touch of elegance. She ends a marriage like she’s wrapping up a Broadway revue. Just a little bow, and she’s on to the next FABULOUS chapter.

But, let’s talk about this whole “I’m in love with life” business. I mean, can you blame her? When you’re Vanessa Williams, *of course* you’re in love with life! She’s a walking, talking, singing, dancing sensation. She’s Miss FUCKING America, she’s Broadway royalty, and she’s got more talent in her little finger than most of us have in our entire bodies. If I were Van, I’d be enraptured with life too. I’d be in love with the air I breathe, the shoes I wear, the champagne I sip!

And as for being in love with everybody else? Oh, I adore that! It’s like she’s saying, “Darlings, I’m not settling for just one person - I’m spreading that love far and wide!” Van’s out here sprinkling love like glitter at Studio 54, and I am HERE for it. Icon!

So salut to you, queen. You’ve got it all figured out. Love life, love everybody, and most importantly, love YOURSELF. Because at the end of the day, that’s the real showstopper, darling. That’s the headliner! Brava!

[quote]Skrip was a successful accountant and real estate agent before meeting Williams

I'm more inclined to believe he lied about his finances, and she got tired of funding him.

He's no Rick Fox in the looks department.

This woman is just beautiful. 61 years old and all.

Well she seemed to enjoy sniffing that chick's butt in those pictures back in the day, so maybe it's time she went back to the lady pond...

Love this woman, and have been fortunate to hang out with her a few times through a mutual friend (who sadly has since passed away). She is as warm and kind and unpretentious as they come.

And i greatly admire that she has not gone down the cosmetic surgery path and allow herself to age gracefully. Pure class.

Whether she gave up the crown or not, no one can ever take away the fact she is the first black woman who WON the Miss America title.

Whenever they speak of how gorgeous Beyonce is, I always think she's nothing compared to Vanessa.

R11 I think Bey is just as pretty as Vanessa Williams she just manicures herself to look like how Vanessa looks naturally with the light eyes. Beyonce has naturally golden brown hair but she bleaches her eyebrows and of course the blonde hair, lace front weaves. Bey has fave is perfectly symmetrical and she is so danty looking it makes her beautiful. Vanessa looks more European with the blue eyes and dark blonde hair. They are both beautiful.

R13. I've seen pictures of the latest ex hubby. She can do better. He was lucky to be with her.

She reminds me of Minnie Riperton.

Did she let the family stay in her house, and the family fucked her husband?

WHET Rick Fox?

Is he still hot?

by Anonymousreply 19August 23, 2024 3:07 AM

I always got lezzies vibes from her. I see Vanessa with a butch woman her age or a fling with a hot younger womsn

Crude, baseless speculation. Vanessa is a woman of class, talent, and dignity; not some cheap caricature for you to dissect with your filthy innuendos. Suggesting she’s involved in some tawdry fling with a “butch” woman or a younger plaything is nothing but pure, unadulterated fantasy. She deserves respect, not your repugnant slander. Keep your imaginary, small-minded gossip to yourself.

I love Vanessa, too, R21. But to be fair, there are those pictures of her in bondage gear sniffing that chick's butt, so...
