Sunny Hostin Stuns The View Audience by Revealing Plans to Set Up Her Son with a Woman Older Than Her—But Why?
Sunny Hostin surprised everyone on The View by sharing her unconventional matchmaking plans for her son. Why does she believe an older woman is the right choice?
Sunny Hostin’s Bold Take on Matchmaking for Her Children
The latest episode of The View took an unexpected turn when Sunny Hostin opened up about her strong opinions on matchmaking—specifically for her children. While discussing professional matchmakers, Hostin revealed that she wants one to help find the right partners for her kids.
The conversation began when Joy Behar brought up how men often approach matchmakers with unrealistic expectations regarding their future partners. In response, Hostin shocked her co-hosts by stating:
“I would love a matchmaker for my children.”
Hostin, who has two children, Gabriel and Paloma, admitted that despite her best efforts to set them up, they refuse to listen to her advice on dating. Because of this, she believes a professional matchmaker might have better luck in finding them suitable matches.

Why an Older Woman for Her Son?
When co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin asked why she didn’t just handle the matchmaking herself, Hostin explained that her high standards and strong preferences make it difficult. She believes that her meticulous approach to choosing a partner extends to whomever her children date.
In a surprising twist, Hostin expressed interest in pairing her son with a woman older than herself, though she did not provide full details on why. Given her firm views on relationships, her preference for an older, more experienced partner for her son could suggest she believes maturity and wisdom are key factors in a successful match.
Her statement left the panel and audience both intrigued and baffled, making for one of the most talked-about moments of the show.
