Wendy Williams flashes the flower ring she switched her wedding band out for

She's in the midst of an acrimonious split from husband Kevin Hunter.

But despite this, Wendy Williams looked as pleased as punch on Thursday, as the 54-year-old was snapped leaving the set of The Wendy Williams Show in NYC.

The talk show host even flashed a new piece of jewelry for waiting photographers - a flower ring with which she replaced her wedding band.

Wearing her favorite shoes as of late, a simple pair of white Keds, Wendy stepped out looking happier than she has in a long time.

She was dressed in a classic long V-neck black cotton dress and a black hooded sweatshirt that appeared a size or two too big for her.

The star is in the midst of getting back on track in her recovery from drug and alcohol addiction while dealing with the end of her 21-year marriage.

Wendy's estranged ex, Kevin Hunter, reportedly blames his former wife for the souring of his relationship with their only child, Kevin Jr., which lead to a physical altercation.

Kevin Jr., 19, reportedly punched his father in the face last week and was subsequently arrested for assault following an argument over the couple's divorce.

Kevin Sr. later accused Wendy of 'poisoning his relationship with their son' TMZ reported.

The altercation is allegedly just the latest in simmering tensions between father and son, according to the gossip site.

'Kevin Sr. has made several attempts in recent weeks to spend time with his son to repair the relationship, but he got the cold shoulder,' said TMZ's sources.

The fractured relationship reportedly stemmed from an ongoing affair between Hunter Sr. and his mistress Sharina Hudson.

DailyMail.com broke news of the ongoing tryst in April - and the scandal led Williams to file for divorce from her husband of 22 years.

Hunter had been living the high life with his mistress in a secret hideaway in New Jersey after she gave birth to their daughter, all while the TV host has been battling an addiction to alcohol and pills brought on by their affair.

Wendy also banned Kevin -a former Executive Producer on her show- from The Wendy Williams Show set and fired him as her manager.
