Jill Zarin was attacked after the story broke that she was dating again. Out of respect for Bobby, she decided to share what she’s been doing this year.

Jill Zarin resurfaced in the media after her husband, Bobby Zarin, passed away in January after a battle with cancer. While Bobby had cancer while filming The Real Housewives of New York, it sounds like he couldn’t beat this time, as the cancer returned a few years ago. Jill focused her attention on her husband, caring for him as he battled for his life. Throughout his illness, she would share some photos of him and it was clear that he was sick, tired and frail.

But then this week, stories surfaced that Jill Zarin had been spotted with another man. While some people were happy for her that she was finally moving on with her life and enjoying the company of a man, the majority of her fans thought she was moving way too fast. She was highly criticized on social media for moving on so fast, but the former The Real Housewives of New York is now breaking her silence. She wants to set the record straight about her so-called dating life.

"“I don’t typically comment on tabloid stories but I felt it was important to set the record straight and let you all know I haven’t been dating anyone for six months. I just started accepting a few dinner dates after much thought and support from my close friends and family. I felt Bobby would want me to start to live again.”"

Jill Zarin decided to release a statement about her dating life, saying that she knows Bobby would want her to have fun. She also points out that she hasn’t been dating anyone for six months.
