Sara Haines is recalling a time when an unexpected third party chimed in while she and her husband were spending some quality time together in bed.
During the Friday, Sept. 13 episode of The View, Haines, 46, made a candid admission about her sex life with her husband Max Shifrin while discussing NFL hall of fame player Shannon Sharpe accidentally going live on social media during sex.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin admitted that unknowingly broadcasting her bedroom activities was her “biggest fear” and she needs to “take the phone off the bed and put it upside down” anytime she has sex with her husband, Justin Griffin.

“I’m afraid of live-streaming or like, my mom calls and hears it,” she confessed. “Never have the phone in the bed. It can be in the bedroom but away from the bed. Nightstand down and locked is the official place.”
“But sometimes it’s not your phone,” Haines replied, before coyly referring to a time she and her husband were having sex. “One time Max and I were… cuddling. And Alexa answered and was like, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question’ from the next room.”
Haines’ unexpected anecdote prompted laughter from the audience, while her fellow co-host, Sunny Hostin added, “That’s what I’m afraid of — Alexa! I have Alexa Echo Dots all over my house. She knows everything. And I think some of them have cameras. So this could very easily happen to me.”
When Joy Behar asked which question triggered Alexa’s response, Haines replied, “I wasn’t saying anything! Why did she answer me!?”
“It must have been like, ‘Are you enjoying this or not?’ ” Behar joked.
This isn’t the first time Haines has opened up about her sex life.
In an episode of The View that aired in January, the co-moderator admitted she frequently asks her husband about doing “chores” around the house after they do the deed.
“So what happens is, sometimes when I recover, I think about all the things we still have to do,” she explained, before joking about needing to recuperate from the “pure exhaustion of that primal act.”
“I stop and I say, ‘Babe, did the plumber call today?’ ” Haines laughed. “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.”
“We have three kids, we run in different directions. When I get him, I get him. He got what he wanted, I’m gonna get what I want. Did the plumber call?” she continued.
