While looking to become a mom on her own, Williams revealed that she was “recently re-introduced to a man” by her dentist.
When her dentist said, “There’s someone you should meet,” the lawyer jokingly told him, “‘Whatever, Doctor. I’m trying to get this veneer done.'”
“And it turns out that I had already dated him about six, seven years ago. Who would have thought that?’ she said.
“And so we recently reconnected, and listen, we’re just getting to know each other. It’s all very chill, very casual, but he’s interesting, so we’ll say that,” she clarified.

“I just want love, so I’d love my baby. I’d love to love a man. I’d love for him to love me back, but where I’m no longer stuck is like, ‘Okay, we should get married in 18 months,” Williams explained.
“It’s just that I let go a little bit [pressure], and I feel a lot more comfortable now. I feel less stressed and less pressured,” she added.
