The “View” co-host Sara Haines frustratedly admitted she and her husband Max Shifrin’s three young children constantly interrupt them in the bedroom.
When asked where the best place she’s had sex is on Friday’s episode of the daytime talk show, the former “GMA” host, 48, answered that it’s “wherever vacation is. Because Max and I have small kids.”
At which point, Joy Behar joked: “No children around.”
“Oh hell no. Your mama hat goes on real fast, and that’s the least sexy thing I wear,” Haines jokingly added.
Behar, 83, who is mom to daughter Eve Behar, went on to give Haines a tip to secure some alone time with her husband.
“You know, they always say if you wanna have sex with your husband and you have kids, you should close the door and shut them out,” Behar said. But, Haines was quick to shut the idea down.
“No, but they bang on the door,” Haines responded. “They bang on the door.”
After another co-host suggested giving the kids video games to keep them occupied, Haines shared that she and her husband have “tried everything,” but to no avail.
“We don’t have a lot of screen time, so we will literally give them sugar and video games, put them in a corner, and they need us immediately,” she explained.
“You can’t even get there mentally. You’re like, ‘Ahh!’ It’s annoying. It’s a turnoff. It’s like your parents calling when you settle in for a night.”
This isn’t Haines’ first bedroom confession on the show. In 2024, she shared that she uses sex as a ploy to ask Shifrin about household chores.
“So, what happens is, sometimes when I recover, I think about all the things we still have to do,” she explained on the talk show as the panel discussed different mistakes people make “after the deed.”
“I stop and I say, ‘Babe, did the plumber call today?’” she said while laughing.
“I need to wait a little longer. Which is why I look at my phone. Give him a full five minutes before I ask him a question.”
In September 2021, Haines also joked about using sex to get her husband to put the kids to bed.
“I turned to Max and I just said, ‘I’m willing to have transactional deals with you if you can just put the kids to bed please,’” she joked at the time, per People.
Haines and Shifrin are parents to three kids: Alec, 9, Sandra, 8, and Caleb, 6.
The couple tied the knot in November 2014.
