As a proud mother,  The View host gushed over her daughter’s achievement.

Her daughter, Paloma, broke her personal record as she ran about 800 meters in a track and field race for the Junior Olympics.



Sunny was originally tight-lipped about her absence because “most people know Paloma does not like being the center of attention.”

The ABC star mentioned that Paloma’s brother, Gabriel, had flown in because she needed his support.

Paloma’s sibling cheered her on from the 200-yard line while her father, Emmanuel, showed his support at the finish line.

Later in the installment, Whoopi Goldberg, 66, said: “Can we just say how proud we are of Paloma? It’s a huge deal.

“Whenever our children do something wonderful, it’s always a pleasure to talk about them.”



The Sister Act actress concluded: “Realistically, this is actually a family.”

SUNNY’S HIATUS?

At the beginning of August, fans noticed the TV hostess was missing from the panel as the program headed toward its final week of Season 25.

Fans claimed her absence was due to the rumored backstage feud over the new cast members.

The talk show had been looking for a new full-time conservative co-host since Meghan McCain’s exit last year.

NEW CAST MEMBERS

Instead of one new co-host, guests Ana Navarro 50, and  Alyssa Farah Griffin, 33, recently landed full-time roles on the show.

Ana has reportedly signed a multi-year deal to co-host the daytime talk show.



Whoopi announced their permanent roles and said: “Today, we’re proud to make another long overdue announcement that Ana Navarro is becoming an official co-host of The View.”

Whoopi continued: “She always has an unfiltered and quite hilarious take…“

“As Barbara Walters used to say, you know you’ve made it when you’ve been parodied on SNL.”

Ana replied: “After many years, many hairstyles, many pounds up and down…we’re finally putting a ring on it and making it official. I want to thank the very loyal View fans.”

Alyssa, the former White House Director of Strategic Communications for Trump, added: “It is such an honor to be with you ladies every day on the set.



“I am so proud to have found my voice. I am here to join this table and hopefully bring a different perspective.”



She concluded: “I’m so excited about it. I’m ready for it.

“Thank you ladies and thank you to the whole View team.”
