Sunny Hostin and her husband, Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, have been married for over 20 years, tying the knot on August 8, 1998, two years after they first met at church in Maryland, according to People. In her memoir I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds, Sunny recalled seeing Manny for the first time after a run and following him to a nearby bagel shop to strike up a conversation, writing, “He was gorgeous, decked out in a beautifully tailored suit.”
Manny studied at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and works as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon in New York, affiliated with Mount Sinai and Lenox Hill hospitals, per People. Sunny has spoken about their marriage on The View, once admitting Manny “doesn’t cook that well,” adding, “I sort of believe in ‘don’t let the sun set on your anger.’ If Manny and I are in an argument, I can’t sleep.”

After struggling with infertility, including multiple miscarriages and IVF treatments, Sunny and Manny welcomed son Gabriel on August 15, 2002, followed by daughter Paloma on May 4, 2006, according to People.
Sunny has previously opened up about the difficult journey, saying, “I struggled for years with infertility and I was ashamed of it and embarrassed about it for so long.”
Bodycam footage showed Sunny on the phone with police after her son Gabriel, 24, was stopped along Metro-North Railroad tracks in Westchester County on June 16 for trespassing. She told officers, “My name is Sunny Hostin and I’m one of the co-hosts of ‘The View’ and I’m a former federal prosecutor,” adding, “That’s my son. He’s a Harvard graduate, he doesn’t have a criminal record,” according to The New York Post.
Gabriel is due in court on July 31, with Sunny reportedly representing him.
