Sherri Shepherd's Key To Dating After Being Divorced Two Times

After enduring two costly divorces, Sherri Shepherd is redefining her dating criteria, resonating with many who share her perspective. Recently, on Angie Martinez’s “IRL Podcast,” Shepherd opened up about the trials of dating as women surpassing 50. Martinez, 54, reflected on how younger women often invest in the “potential” of a partner, a concept Shepherd vehemently rejects. “I’ve done that in my 20s, 30s, and 40s, but not anymore,” she remarked, revealing the lessons learned from her past experiences. She acknowledged the nuances of “potential,” recognizing it could also pertain to emotional maturity, yet clarified her stance: “I don’t have time for that. I don’t want to help anyone build anymore.” Comments from the podcast's audience echoed Shepherd's sentiments, affirming her newfound clarity about relationships. While she remains open to dating the right person in the future, Shepherd emphasizes self-love and independence, enjoying life without the need for a ring or validation through a partner.
