Sara Haines, the beloved cohost of The View, has stirred up some conversation with her unconventional dating advice. In a recent Instagram video, she encouraged her followers to consider dating multiple people at once. Love it or hate it, her words have definitely left fans talking.
Why Sara Believes in Dating More Than One Person
In a clip posted on July 31, the 45-year-old journalist shared some wisdom she’s picked up over the years. “I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but I once got some great dating advice,” Sara began, leaning into the camera with a knowing smile. “It said that at any given time, you should always be dating three different people.”
But why three? Sara went on to explain her reasoning, and it’s all about balance. “I don’t know if all women are like me, but I tend to invest way too much time and energy into one person,” she admitted. “By spreading out your energy—waiting for phone calls, texting, interacting, going on dates—you never care too much or lean too hard on one person. It keeps things in perspective, especially during those early days when you’re trying to figure out if you like someone or not.”

Sara wrapped up the video with a playful nod to the number three, saying, “Three is the magic number. Let’s see if it works.” Whether you’re on board with her advice or not, one thing’s for sure—she’s definitely sparking some interesting discussions.
Fans Weigh In: Is This Advice Genius or Just Plain Weird?
As expected, reactions in the comments section were mixed. Some fans praised Sara for her bold approach, calling it “great advice” that encourages people to maintain a healthy balance in their dating lives. Others, however, found the concept a little strange, labeling it “weird.” But isn’t that the beauty of life? Different perspectives make the conversation richer.
A Happy Marriage Built on Trust and Humor
Despite her unconventional dating tips, Sara’s personal life is proof that love and trust can flourish without drama. She tied the knot with husband Max Shifrin in 2014 after meeting him on OkCupid. Together, they’ve built a beautiful family with three children: Alec, Sandra, and Caleb. Their relationship is grounded in mutual respect and a shared sense of humor.
In a recent Instagram Stories post, Sara addressed rumors about why she sometimes doesn’t wear her wedding ring on TV or in public. Turns out, it’s not as dramatic as it might seem. “Originally, I took it off because I had gotten this rash,” she explained with a laugh. “It’s called wedding ring rash. Then it cleared up [and] I put my ring on again. I got the rash again, and I felt the universe was telling me something, so I got a divorce. Just kidding!”

When asked about it, Max, 40, chimed in with characteristic charm. “It doesn’t bother me one bit,” he said. “We’re committed to each other, ring or not.” Now that’s what I call partnership!
Open Conversations About Marriage and Parenthood
Sara’s openness about her marriage isn’t limited to just her jewelry choices. Last year, during an episode of The View, she shared a candid moment about how she motivates her husband to help with bedtime routines. “I turned to Max and said, ‘I’m willing to have transactional deals with you if you can just put the kids to bed, please,’” she joked. “That’s about how romantic the suggestion felt too: ‘I will pay you in other things, other currency if you go ahead and put those kids to bed.’”
But don’t worry—Sara and Max aren’t done growing their family just yet. When asked about expanding their brood, Sara admitted, “I would love 10 more!!!! But three is all I can handle while being my best version for each of them.”
