Last year, “A Different World” actress Cree Summer opened up about the importance of finding a partner who makes her feel safe.
Cree’s prayers were answered! She was seen out & about holding hands with a man half her age on Sunday.
Cree and her mystery man were seen shopping at the Farmer’s Market in Studio City, California.
The 56-year-old actress and singer is best known as bubbly college student Winifred “Freddie” Brooks on the NBC sitcom “A Different World” (1987–1993).
In her sit-down chat with YouTube sexologist Shan Boodram last May, Cree shared how she lost her sex drive during her marriage to producer Angelo Pullen from 2013 until 2022.
She was exploring her love options in her twilight years and she was excited about approaching men.
“I don’t think I’ve ever approached a man. I’ve never asked a man out,” she said.
“I would love to have a husband and a real partner. Someone that we could get excited about the trials and the tribulations in life together. That would be great.”
Cree compared the end of a marriage to the engine dying in an old car.
“Who the f— wants to separate and divorce? But sometimes that old car ain’t gon’ run anymore. And you can polish it. You can put a new f— motor in it, but it just don’t run… it’s run its f— course literally.”
Cree added: “With all I know, I’m too smart to have chosen what I’ve chosen. I think I could’ve given myself the credit for how intelligent I really am. I think sometimes I found myself in situations past the expiration date purely out of loneliness.”
