While discussing relationships, aging, and staying active later in life, Ana Navarro chimed in with a comment no one saw coming. In classic Ana style — candid, bold, and unfiltered — she shared a surprising detail about her 85-year-old father’s love life, catching everyone completely off guard.

Joy Behar’s reaction? A mix of horror, disbelief, and uncontrollable laughter.

Ana! Please!” Joy exclaimed, throwing her hands up and leaning back in her chair as the audience roared.

Even veteran hosts Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines were left covering their faces, trying — and failing — to keep straight faces.

The Crowd Went Wild

What made the moment even better was how Ana delivered it:

  • totally calm

  • perfectly casual

  • absolutely unapologetic

Her storytelling had the audience howling, and the co-hosts practically begging her to stop — which, of course, made her lean in even more.
