“There is not one person that I’m in love with, but I’m in love with everybody,” she said. “I love my freedom.

“I love being alive, having options in my life, and being surrounded by beautiful things, great people and wonderful opportunities,” the “Ugly Betty” alum continued.

Williams was previously married to public relations consultant Ramon Hervey II from 1987 to 1997 and former NBA player Rick Fox from 1999 to 2004.

The actress welcomed three children with her first husband — daughters Melanie, 37, and Jillian, 35, and son Devin, 31 — as well as daughter Sasha, 24, with her second.

In July 2015, Williams and Skrip, now 64, tied the knot in Buffalo, NY.

The bride “felt like an Egyptian goddess” at her ceremony, which was “exactly the theme [she] was going for,” she told Madame Noire prior to their nuptials.

She and the former accountant met three years prior while vacationing separately in Egypt when Williams “wasn’t looking for anything.”

“He happened to be traveling alone and happened to know who I was but wasn’t a superfan,” the Emmy nominee recalled in the April 2015 interview.

“He accepted me for who I was after a wonderful first three-hour date of talking about ourselves,” she added. “We found out we had a lot of things in common.”

Williams went on to encourage her fans not to “lose hope” in dating.

“There are a lot of good men out there — of course I found the best — who are available and ready to be in satisfying relationships as well,” she said at the time.

“I’m 52, and now I’ve got a new beginning,” Williams continued. “It happens when you’re not looking for it! Just trust and believe.”
