Sunny Hostin's 50th birthday extravaganza didn't exactly leave her husband in a celebratory mood.
On the Podcast 'Behind the Table' On Tuesday, February 20, Sunny reminisced about her birthday blowout in October 2023 The viewincluding a musical tribute with a host of musical icons.
“I don't know if you remember.” The view cohost told the show's executive producer Brian Teta“during my 50th birthday show when we had the 50 Years of Hip-Hop, Doug E. Fresh came up to me and danced, in my husband's opinion, a little too close to me.”
Sunny's husband, Emmanuel 'Manny' Hostin, watched closely from the studio audience as the legendary rapper, 57, made his move. As Sunny recalled, it was a very difficult ride home.
“We got in the car, and [Manny] said, 'What was that beep?'” Sunny told Teta.
Sunny had a sense of humor about the ordeal, joking: “Doug E. got too fresh for Manny,” but admitted that both she and her husband – whom she married in 1998 and with whom she has son Gabriel, 21, and daughter Paloma shares , 17 — tend to get jealous in their relationship.
“You could say he's worse than me,” Sunny added. “We don't like that kind of thing.”
Specifically, a viewer wrote to ask if Manny, 52, ever gets upset about her very vocal love and admiration for the actor Idris Elba. Without hesitation, Sunny said, “Oh, he doesn't like it.”
Sunny called her and her husband “two sides of the same coin,” but said Manny “just wasn't open about it.”
On that note, Sunny had no problem looking around with staring eyes Alan Ritchsonthe star of Prime Video Reacher who joined the ladies The view on Tuesday.
“I like tall, I like very handsome and I like faith-based,” Sunny said. “I like family men.”
Ritchson, 41, appeared on the daytime program to promote his new film Ordinary angelscostarring Hilary Swank. The film was co-produced by Kingdom Story Company, which specializes in Christian filmmaking, and the actor has long been open about his religious beliefs.
That has earned Ritchson a place in Sunny's heart. “Maybe he's my new hall pass,” she joked. 'He can buy me a drink every day. Don't tell Manny that.'
