Let me tell you, there’s no denying that Sunny Hostin has had an absolutely incredible career as a TV star and businesswoman. But when you ask her what truly lights up her life, it’s all about her two kids, Gabe and Paloma. This lawyer-turned-journalist is quick to say that nothing compares to the joy and fulfillment she feels as a mom. Let’s dive into the world of Sunny Hostin’s family and get to know her amazing kids better.
For Sunny, motherhood began in 2002 when she and her husband Emmanuel Hostin welcomed their first child, Gabe. A few years later, in 2006, they added Paloma to their family. Sunny loves sharing little glimpses of their lives with her fans, whether it's through clips of Gabe playing sports or Paloma excelling in school. Her social media pages are filled with heartwarming and funny moments from their everyday lives, showing just how much these kids mean to her.
Gabe Hostin, born on August 15, 2002, is Sunny’s eldest child. If you’ve ever followed Sunny’s social media, you’ve probably seen plenty of photos of Gabe playing football. He was a star on the field, and Sunny was always there cheering him on during his high school football games. But Gabe’s talents extend far beyond sports. In June 2019, Sunny shared a stunning video of Gabe playing "Sad" by the late rapper XXXTentacion on the piano. Her caption perfectly captured the moment: "All that hard work paid off — Gabriel at the piano recital." Gabe’s musical prowess doesn’t stop there; Sunny also shared a video of him playing the saxophone during a school winter concert. It’s clear that this young man is a multi-talented star.

It’s no secret that Sunny shares a special bond with Gabe. On one of his birthdays, she took to Instagram to express just how proud she is of her son. She wrote, "8/15/02 — the day my precious boy came into the world and made every single day of our lives brighter. He is brilliant, humble, and kind. My gentle giant. I love and adore you. Always." And if that wasn’t enough to show how proud she is, Gabe is now a student at Harvard University. Sunny shared a photo of him during their drop-off in August 2021, captioning it with a heartfelt message: "It was all going so well until little sis started crying — thanks, Paloma! We are all so very proud and we know you will change the world, Gabriel. Here’s to a great adventure, my sweet boy."
Paloma Hostin, born on May 4, 2006, is just as impressive as her older brother. Like Gabe, Paloma takes after her mom in terms of drive and ambition. While she’s still growing, it’s clear that Paloma has a bright future ahead of her, especially in sports. Whether she’s running on the track or dribbling down the basketball court, Sunny is always there cheering her on. In April 2019, Sunny took to Instagram to celebrate one of Paloma’s achievements, captioning the post, "So very proud of @palomahostin12334, who was named Camper of The Week at the Nike Girls Basketball Camp. Way to go, Paloma. And that new pocket dribble is [fire]."
Paloma doesn’t just excel in sports; she also loves to dress up and look fabulous. In November 2019, Sunny shared some photos of Paloma all glammed up for a school event, joking with her husband Emmanuel that Paloma “is still your little girl.” Sunny captioned one of the photos, "Yes our kids are tall, and they make us look short. And athletes. But poor Manny can’t get over the fact that Paloma is [a teenager] and absolutely stunning. Watch out, papa!"
On International Women’s Day, Sunny took a moment to celebrate her daughter, writing, "And to my fierce little one (well not so little anymore) Paloma, how brilliant it is watching you grow up to become more fierce every day. The world better watch out." Sunny also opened up about the evolving relationship she has with Paloma, especially as she prepares to send her off to college. She joked about Paloma’s newfound independence, saying, "I don’t know, she turned 16 and she puts her headphones on in the car and doesn’t talk to me. I’m so hurt by the whole thing. I’m so devastated and it’s just the little kid that just adored my every move."
Sunny has always been open about how she balances her career as a beloved TV personality with her roles as a mom and wife. She told Closer that she prioritizes her family above all else. "I’ve turned down more projects than I’m a
