Vanessa Williams at the 13th Annual Human Rights Campaign Gala held at the Hilton Hotel. New York City, USA - 23.03.08

The Ugly Betty star isn't put off by her two failed marriages, to former manager Ramon Hervey and ex basketball star Rick Fox insisting she misses the companionship.

Williams explains, "I like being married. I enjoy having a partner. I enjoy cooking, traditional things. Being alone is something I am accustomed to, but I would prefer to be with a partner."

And she admits she's still such good friends with her exes, they all moved in together last year (07). The star briefly shared her Hollywood home with her former manager Ramon Hervey, her husband of 10 years and father of three of her children; and second husband, ex-basketball star Rick Fox.

She insists the trio lived together in perfect harmony.

Williams explains, "Last year, in June, I had one upstairs, one downstairs (and) I was in the middle, in the master (bedroom) and we co-existed for a few weeks. It sounds crazy but it works."
