Former talk show host Ricki Lake is back on the market. But not so quick guys–she admits that her heart is broken at the moment and it is way too soon to be thinking about dating. Lake recently ended a relationship with an “unidentified” man.

She took to her Twitter page, and referenced the ex-boyfriend yesterday. We’re reading between the lines and based on her quote below, it looks he may not have been gainfully employed and she got tired of supporting him.

So once Ricki is ready to find love again, what will she be looking for? “I’m kind of a cougar, they have to be (at least) 30-something, with a job! I don’t want them to take care of me; I just want them to take care of themselves.”

Ricki has two sons with ex-husband Rob Sussman. They ended their 10-year marriage back in 2003.
