Yesterday, The View started off their daytime show by pointing the camera in the audience attempting to find someone with news of a baby on the way. Once the cameras came full circle, co-host Sara Haines announced her pregnancy. The audience erupted with applause.
“It’s a girl!” Haines proudly revealed before being silly-strung by her co-hosts. “Sunny warned me about the date on these eggs. I don’t have the privilege of time, I’m an older mommy.”
Last year, Haines had first-born son Alec with husband Max Shifrin. “I think Max is scared,” she said, adding, “I just feel I get the female experience way more than the little boy thing.” Haines, 39, is due in December, and made a statement to People.”We are so excited to add to our little family.”
The news surfaces one week after co-host Jedediah Bila announced her engagement to boyfriend Jeremy Scher. Both co-hosts officially joined the hot-topics table in 2016, along with Sunny Hostin. The View posted gains in all key target demos, outperforming ‘The Talk‘ for third consecutive week, ABC News reports. The daytime show saw an increase in total viewers over the course of this season, making it the most watched season in three years.
