Wendy Williams is feeling "content and happy" despite her health struggles

A source told this week's edition of UsWeekly: "She's still Wendy. Her conversations are just as rhythmic and her mindset is open. She's content and happy to be with her family."

Just ahead of her milestone birthday towards the end of last year, insiders claimed that the family was "unable to speak" about the condition of the former DJ but insisted that everyone was still "rooting and praying" for her at the time.

A source told PEOPLE: "Wendy Williams's family is unable to speak on her current condition and location due to ongoing litigation and the fact that they have largely been denied contact. But they are all rooting and praying for Wendy and want to express their well wishes as she celebrates her 60th birthday. She was, is and always will be an icon."

Williams was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia - a rare condition that affects the nervous system and inhibits the ability to communicate - and frontotemporal dementia - which affects personality, behaviour and language - last year.

Almost a year ago, Wendy's sister Wanda Finnie claimed that she wasn't made aware of her sibling's diagnosis after she was placed in a facility to be treated for cognitive issues and that the family had received no updates on Wendy since she spent time with them in Florida in 2021.

She said: "When she was in Florida, there were a number of people involved. Even beyond family, there were doctors involved, people in Wendy's professional world that were involved. She had a health team in place, nurses in place and she had family in place. She was getting healthier.

"How did she go from this aunt or sister that we love and is healthy one minute to this person who's in and out of the hospital? How is that system better than the system the family could put in place? I don't know. I do know that this system is broken. I hope that at some point, Wendy becomes strong enough where she can speak on her own behalf."
