How did Sunny And Emmanuel Hostin meet?
According to Sunny's memoir, she said she was living in Maryland at the time and finished running one day when she decided to follow her mother's advice and go to church.
About five minutes after arriving, she saw Emmanuel walking through the church door. It was love at first sight for Sunny as Emmanuel was looking gorgeous in his beautifully tailored suit.
Unlike him, Sunny wasn't dressed up like someone who was going to church. According to her, she looked "ridiculous" with her hair slicked back in a ponytail and the sweat suit.
Since Sunny's eyes were glued to his every move, she followed him to the bagel shop and spoke to him.
In her 2020 memoir I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds, Sunny wrote that Emmanuel was horrified to find that she attended church in her running clothes.
Years later, she realized that he considered it "blasphemous" that she had gone to church while wearing running clothes.
Although he initially didn't seem interested in her, his friend later offered his number suggesting her to attend one of the parties that he and Emmanuel were planning to throw.
Sunny accepted the invitation and the rest is history.
She later ran into Emmanuel at the party where she had changed significantly since the first time she had met Emmanuel.
Today, Sunny and Emmanuel are married for more than two decades and are parents to two kids.
