<p>Ms. Patti LaBelle is letting the world know that she&#8217;s <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/summer-walker-claps-back-fan-says-she-enjoys-being-single-mother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">single</a> and ready to mingle at 78 years old!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Patti LaBelle Is &#8216;Sorta-Kinda&#8217; Open To Looking For A Relationship</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">The &#8220;Lady Marmalade&#8221; songstress made the revelation during her recent appearance on <a href="https://twitter.com/JHudShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Jennifer Hudson Show</em></a>. After Jennifer—who observed that Valentine&#8217;s Day is right around the corner—inquired about whether Patti&#8217;s open to dating. In turn, Patti responded by coyly saying, &#8220;sorta-kinda.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to explain that her approach to the matter is a bit different from others&#8217;, as she was married &#8220;for 32 years to a wonderful man.&#8221; In fact, she&#8217;s still &#8220;good friends&#8221; with her ex-husband.</p>
<p>As a result, Patti is focused on finding a new, different happiness for herself, as she&#8217;s already enjoyed a &#8220;wonderful&#8221; love before.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was married for 32 years to a wonderful man, and we&#8217;re still friends—good friends. So I think, in life, I need to find a happiness for myself other than what I had back in the day with him, which was wonderful.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The music legend was sure to also sassily point out, &#8220;I&#8217;m too good to be solo.&#8221; You betta let &#8217;em know, Ms. LaBelle!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">You Won&#8217;t Be Catchin&#8217; Patti On Tinder: &#8216;What Are Dating Apps?&#8217;</h3>
<p>As the conversation continued, Jennifer Hudson asked if Patti&#8217;s active on any of the popular dating apps. Humorously, Patti responded by asking, &#8220;What are dating apps?&#8221;</p>
<p>After Jennifer offered a brief explanation to bring her up to speed on how Tinder works, Patti commented, &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen that commercial!&#8221;</p>
<p>However, Patti admitted that she wouldn&#8217;t be checking out these apps anytime soon, as she already has her sights set on one lucky person.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I do have a nice person in mind. I really do.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ms. LaBelle was sure not to spill <em>too </em>much tea though, as she noted that her love life is her &#8220;personal business.&#8221;</p>
