The couple met for the first time at a church service, Sunny described the incredible moment in her 2020 memoir I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds. “I certainly wasn’t dressed to attend service that day,” she wrote in her memoir. “My hair was slicked back in a ponytail, and the sweat suit I was wearing was living up to its name. Since Mom believed I’d find my soul mate once I got back into the church, I figured I’d drop in, then call to tell her I’d followed her advice and indeed find the man of my dreams. Not!”

She continued, “He was gorgeous, decked out in a beautifully tailored suit. … All I could think about was how I could meet this man,” she wrote. “I looked ridiculous. I would have to sit and wait. My eyes were glued to his every move,” she added. The couple then connected and got married two years later and they currently reside in Purchase, New York. Sunny has been enjoying her Panama vacation and missing from The View .  On another episode, Joy Behar announced, “You know, I neglected to point out that Sunny is not here today, but Rachel Lindsay is here.”
