Emmanuel And His Wife, Sunny Hostin Have Been Together Since The Late ’90s
The musculoskeletal surgeon Emmanuel married THE View co-host, Sunny, in 1998. The doctor and the journalist couple have two children, a son Gabriel, and a daughter Paloma. The family resides in Purchase, New York.
Manny and the TEDx speaker first encountered each other at a church. Sunny describes her husband as gorgeous when she first met him but adds she, on the other hand, was looking ridiculous.
In her 2020 memoir, I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds, the Day time Emmy nominee writes just about the time she was going to bump on Manny, her dating life was “less than satisfactory” and she was living in Maryland in the mid-90s.
She reveals one day after going for a run, Hostin decided to take her mom’s advice and attend a church service before heading home.
How did Hostin meet his First Wife?
The Puerto Rican-African-American host says while she didn’t dress properly that day, shortly after she found her seat near the back of the church, she spotted her future husband entering with a friend.
“I’d been there about five minutes when I turned around. And in walked Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Hostin. He was gorgeous, decked out in a beautifully tailored suit. … All I could think about was how I could meet this man. … I looked ridiculous. I would have to sit and wait. My eyes were glued to his every move,”
confesses the correspondent in her memoir.
After the church service, Sunny saw Manny and his friend heading into a bagel shop around the corner.
Shortly, the former law clerk also got in line behind them. When she finally talked to Manny, he wondered and asked how come she was attending church wearing sweatpants. Sunny says her husband then didn’t find her interesting.
Some time afterward, Manny told her he was going to throw parties in a few days and invited the journalist – giving his phone number. When Ms. Hostin made her way to their apartment a few days later, Manny welcomed her but didn’t recognize her.
Sunny told him they’d met at church but upon trying for himself, he concluded he had actually met his future partner at a bagel shop. Fast forward to two years and the couple became partners in crime.
The physician and the newscaster experienced parenthood for the first time when they welcomed their eldest child, son Gabe, a Harvard student, in 2002. The Catholic couple added another baby to their brood when daughter Paloma arrived in 2006.
Sunny And Her Husband, Emmanuel Hostin Net Worth
While Manny’s spouse may not make nearly as much as her other The View co-hosts are/were making, she has managed to build up a modest and quite impressive net worth that sits at $3 million.
Speaking of which, the longtime hosts of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, and Joy Behar reportedly, during the year 2016 – were bringing in $5 million and $2.5 million per annum, respectively.
In any case, those amounts either nearly matched or fully topped Ms. Hostin’s full fortune. Nonetheless, she does have the potential and the benefits to negotiate a fortune-boosting raise for herself in the coming years.
As such, the women who previously hosted the show have gone on to establish quite the name and wealth for themselves. With almost all of them in the present owning tens of millions of dollars.
And although the analysis gets dim and is scarce in the case of Sunny’s husband, Dr. Emmanuel’s net worth, he is very much presumed to be quite a loaded medical specialist.
What’s more, he and his wife also have money coming in from their restaurant in New Rochelle, New York, Alvin & Friends.
