The hosts on The View discussed the appearance of Sunny Hostin's 21-year-old son, Gabriel, with one of the cohosts even describing him as "hot."
"I was watching you on the Sherri Shepherd show and she was like, out of her mind over your son. What the heck was that about? Alright, the kid's hot, but really?" Joy Behar said on the Wednesday, May 8 episode of the talk show.
As they delved into the topic of Anne Hathaway's latest rom-com, The Idea of You, where a 40-year-old woman falls for a 25-year-old man, the conversation naturally shifted to the prevalence of age gaps in Hollywood. That's when her son entered the discussion.

Following the mention of Gabriel, a large image of him was displayed on the screen behind them, capturing Shepherd's reaction as she viewed a partially shirtless photo of him at the beach.
"What kind of pictures did you pick, Sunny? That's your son," cohost Sara Haines jokingly said.
In response, Hostin said, "I didn't even pick those, those were pictures of his 21st birthday when we went to Spain." As she lowered her head into her hand in embarrassment, she continued, "I'm used to that with him, but, yeah."
Whoopi Goldberg chimed in on the joke and said, "So, you're okay if Sherri calls him?" as the audience laughed.
Sunny shares Gabriel and daughter Paloma, 18, with husband Emmanuel Hostin.
Sunny disclosed in September 2023 that Gabriel was involved in a serious accident, struck by a car near his campus at Harvard University.
"Manny got the call first. Gabriel loves to get around Cambridge on his electric skateboard," Hostin told View executive producer Brian Teta on the Behind the Table podcast. "He got hit by a car, and he flew over the hood of the car, and because he was not wearing the helmet that I bought for him the only way to kind of protect his head was to land on his right shoulder, which he dislocated and we believe is somewhat fractured."
