Sunny Hostin Admits She Regrets Sending Her Daughter to College: “I Feel Like I’ve Completely Lost Her.”
Sunny Hostin Struggles with Becoming an Empty Nester
As The View kicks off a new season with a revamped set and a fresh energy, some of its co-hosts are finding the transition particularly challenging—not just on screen, but in their personal lives as well.
For Sunny Hostin, the biggest adjustment hasn’t been the new set or the high-stakes political discussions, but rather a deeply personal change at home. Over the summer, she dropped off her youngest child, Paloma Hostin, at college, and the reality of becoming an empty nester has hit her hard.
“I got to drop my daughter off at college and officially enter this empty nest phase. And I have to say—I’m a mess. I’m grieving,” she candidly admitted on The View.
Sunny Opens Up About Her Emotional Struggles
Hostin has been vocal about how difficult it has been adjusting to life without her daughter at home. Even as the fall season settles in, her emotions remain raw.

She revealed that she’s been leaning on friends for advice, including Live with Kelly and Mark host Kelly Ripa, who reassured her that the initial grief would fade with time. “Kelly told me to give it a couple of weeks and that I’d start to feel better,” Hostin shared. “But honestly, I still feel the same.”
For years, Hostin has balanced multiple roles—successful attorney, author, The View co-host, wine entrepreneur, and most importantly, mother. Now, with both of her children grown, she is struggling to navigate this new stage of life.

Hostin’s candid admission resonated with many parents who have experienced the bittersweet moment of sending their children off to college. While some viewers sympathized, others pointed out that this is a natural transition that all parents must face.
Many fans applauded her vulnerability, acknowledging that the shift from full-time parenting to an empty nest is never easy—especially for a mother as devoted as Hostin.
Exciting News for The View Fans
