Joy Behar, who had divorced her first husband, reconnected with love.
She “waited” 29 years to get married with her current hubby.
Behar’s significant other is a few years her junior.
Joy Behar is a mother, grandma, and the daughter of two previous marriages. The TV personality was in a relationship with the man for several years before to getting married, and they are now married. He is several years younger than her.
Behar joined “The View” as one of the initial panelists in 1997 and has been a co-host of the daytime talk show for a long time. But in previous years, she had a brief absence from the performance.
The comic was fired in 2013, but she came back the following year. Later, Behar talked about getting fired from the adored ABC series once, saying:
“I was happy to lose my job. I don’t really remember why, but at that point, I was basically tired with the show.
The TV personality added that neither they nor the network knew why she had been dismissed at the time, nor why she had been taken off the air for two years. That was incredibly naive of them. However, they took the lesson to heart,” the actress said.
Since then, Behar has persisted in gracing the screens of the most popular daytime program, and she stated in an interview conducted in October 2022 that she has no plans to leave the show.
The New Yorker went on to say that she had agreed to a contract extension and would be a regular contributor to “The View” for a while. “I don’t intend to retire,” she declared.
Behar said, “I’m happy to be a part of it,” but she acknowledged that she still finds it hard to believe the chat show has attracted so many viewers. Thus, no, I’m not leaving. I’m enjoying myself here.
In October 2023, the redhead celebrated her 81st birthday on “The View.” It appears, though, that she dislikes making a huge production out of her special day.
Co-host Ana Navarro noted that she is aware that Behar dislikes discussing her birthday throughout the show, and Sunny Hostin remarked that she didn’t appear thrilled. Behar interjected, stating:
“Excitement escapes me. Just that I’m alive, that’s all. You know, there comes a time when you wake up in the morning and tell yourself, “My God, I’m still here.”
Two months prior to reaching her milestone birthday, Behar had celebrated her wedding anniversary with her second husband. The Hollywood actress is wed to Steve Janowitz, a former educator.
The pair dated for almost thirty years before getting married in August of 2011. Janowitz and Behar dressed in matching ensembles on their special day. She wore a short-sleeved black dress, and he wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath and a bow tie.
September was Behar’s first appearance on “ABC News” after her marriage. When asked if she felt like a bride during the interview, the “Love Is All There Is” actress joked, saying:
Do I appear to you to be a brushing bride? It has been two decades.
When asked if she thought she was still in her honeymoon phase, Behar answered negatively. After dating for a long time, the Hollywood star believed that marrying her true love was all that was required of her.
The TV personality was also questioned about the key to a long-term relationship. She claims that because they are not sensitive individuals, none of them takes offense at comments made about the other when they are together.
Behar went on to say that Janowitz is a good-humored man and that, in an effort to keep her relationship with him from being ruined, she didn’t reveal her comic status to him during their first year of dating. According to her, how they perceive one another also matters. In an interview conducted a year after Behar’s marriage, the question of why she and Janowitz had waited so long to get married was posed. Says she
“I didn’t really see the point, because I had been married before, so we waited for so long.”
The “Hall Pass” actress teased, “We did it for the sex,” but then candidly said that it was because, as she gets older, she needs someone who will support her “emotionally and legally” in the event of an emergency.As of October 2021, Janowitz is seven years younger than his well-known spouse, Behar, as she disclosed in a “The View” episode. “It’s really paying off at this point,” she continued. After 12 years of marriage, the pair is together.
Behar is not just a wife but a mother as well. She received their only child together, daughter Eve Behar, in November 1970 with her ex-husband, television director Joseph Behar, with whom she was married from 1965 to 1981.
At an appearance on “Anderson Live” in November 2011, the single mother—who is also now a grandmother—proudly displayed her daughter beside her husband, Alphonso Scotti, and their son, Luca.
Behar was enthralled by her eight-month-old grandson, calling him “brilliant” and verbal even at that young age.
Regarding Luca’s mother, she creates unique, handcrafted pottery. She posted a family reunion shot and offered her Instagram followers a sneak peek at her art exhibition in August 2023.
Luca, who is currently a teenager, appears to be a grown man in the photo. Sitting next to his dad and grandparents, he smiled for the camera as he posed. He was seen with his cherished grandmother in another solitary picture.
Additionally, Eve posted pictures of the guests from the art event. The stunning blonde wrote, “Scenes from an art opening,” as the description for her social media post. “Thank you to @juliekeyes #juliekeyesgallery for a wonderful opportunity to show my new work,” she said, encouraging her fans to visit the exhibition in the Long Island community of Sag Harbor, New York, if they were interested.
