Sunny Hostin recently opened up about a painful reality—her relationship with her children has been growing distant after they discovered a terrible thing from her past. The View co-host reflected on how this revelation has changed the dynamic within her family and the emotional toll it has taken on her. Find out how she’s coping with this difficult situation and what she hopes for the future of her bond with her children.

A Shocking Discovery That Changed Everything
Sunny Hostin has always been open about her life as a mother, often sharing heartfelt stories about raising her two children, Gabriel and Paloma. However, a recent revelation has put a strain on their once-close relationship. During an intimate interview, Hostin revealed that her children had uncovered a past mistake—one she had hoped would remain buried.
While she did not go into specific details about the incident, she expressed deep regret over the impact it has had on her family. “It was something I never wanted them to find out about. I always prided myself on being honest with them, but this… this was different.”
The news came as a shock to her children, who struggled to process the truth. The once effortless bond they shared became tense, and Hostin found herself facing one of the hardest challenges of her life—rebuilding trust with her own kids.
Navigating the Pain of a Broken Bond
For Hostin, the emotional distance between her and her children has been devastating. “I used to be their safe place, the person they came to with everything,” she shared. “Now, I feel like there’s this wall between us, and I don’t know how to tear it down.”

In an effort to mend their relationship, Hostin has been giving her children the space they need to process their emotions while also making herself available for honest conversations. “I told them, ‘I’m here when you’re ready to talk. I know this is hard for you, and it’s hard for me too. But I love you, and I will always love you.’”
Despite the pain, she remains hopeful that with time, their bond will heal. “Parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when you’ve made mistakes.”
Lessons Learned and Moving Forward
This experience has forced Hostin to reflect on her own past choices and how they shape her family’s future. She has learned the importance of transparency, even when it’s difficult. “If I could go back, I would have been more open about my past mistakes. Maybe then, this wouldn’t have come as such a shock to them.”
She has also leaned on her support system, including close friends and fellow parents who have gone through similar struggles. “I’ve talked to other moms about this, and they remind me that relationships evolve. My kids might be distant now, but that doesn’t mean it’s forever.”
In the meantime, she continues to be patient, giving her children the room they need while also making sure they know that no mistake—hers or theirs—could ever change how much she loves them.
Hope for the Future
Despite the current distance between her and her children, Sunny Hostin remains optimistic. She knows that parenting adult children comes with challenges, but she is committed to doing whatever it takes to rebuild trust and strengthen their relationship. “Love is stronger than any mistake. I just have to keep showing them that, one day at a time.”
