The 54-year-old star said “I do” to Jim Skrip in 2015, her third marriage. You would think after twice walking down the aisle, Williams would have given up on love. No way.
“Well my words are, there’s always hope,” she told us in 2015. “You never know what you’ll find and where you’ll find it. I was on vacation with my daughter going to Egypt, cruising on the Nile. I wasn’t looking for anything. I’d been alone for a number of years and divorced for ten years at that time. I found a hometown guy from my mom’s town in Buffalo, New York and started a conversation. He happened to be traveling alone and happened to know who I was but wasn’t a super fan. He accepted me for who I was after a wonderful first three-hour date of talking about ourselves. We found out we had a lot of things in common. Three years later we’re getting married.”
