Sara Haines shocked her fellow co-hosts on The View after she revealed that she follows one of her husband’s exes on Instagram.

Haines shared the news while The View hosts were discussing the benefits of communication in a relationship on Thursday.

“Well, communication apparently is the key to a good relationship — I wouldn’t know — but a therapist told USA Today that there’s a big difference between keeping something private from your partner and keeping secrets from them,” said the famously single Whoopi Goldberg.

She went on to give an example provided by the therapist, noting that it’s acceptable to “keep your memories of great sex with an ex private,” but that if you still have feelings for that ex, it becomes a potentially troublesome secret.

“Okay,” Goldberg added. “This is why I don’t have a relationship — because this is too much for me.”

Barely unable to keep a straight face, Goldberg went on to ask her co-hosts if they struggle to determine what they should share with their partners and what they should keep private.

The hosts largely agreed that if those in the relationship have the same philosophy regarding privacy, healthy communication is easier to maintain.

“Something that’s private is, like, I’m thinking of somebody in my office — you’re married –I’m thinking of this cute guy in my office, that’s private. And then to say, but I’m having an affair — that’s a secret,” Joy Behar said, adding, “You can have private thoughts, but secrets are different.”

The hosts went on to discuss the desire — or lack thereof — to learn about your partner’s exes.

“I want to know. I just want clarity,” Haines shared, later clarifying that she does not want to know “how they were in the sack.”

Haines explained that she wants to know about her husband’s exes to learn about what he was “into” during certain stages of his life.

“I want to look it right in the eyes,” she joked, adding, “I follow one on Instagram.”

The revelation shocked her co-hosts, Hostin calling it “self-flagellating” and “pain” as Haines erupted into laughter.

“I can’t even speak to this, we’re just gonna go,” Goldberg concluded.
