Who Is Sara Haines' Husband? All About Max Shifrin

Cupid’s arrow hit a bullseye online when it came to Sara Haines and her husband, Max Shifrin.

The View co-host met the lawyer on a dating app after she created a profile for a segment on Good Morning America. According to the TV personality, despite its challenges, she was determined to "participate" in the dating world. Haines echoed similar words years later while sitting beside Shifrin as they shared their love story.

“I believe you have to create your own luck, so I thought I’m not running into my boo at a produce department or tripping on him on a street, like all the rom-coms told me I would, so I need to add some effort here,’ ” she told Yahoo! Lifestyle in 2019.

Shifrin, who admittedly “had no idea” who Haines was, came across her profile on OkCupid, and the two began dating in 2012. The couple went on to wed in 2014 and are now parents of three kids: Alec Richard, Sandra Grace and Caleb Joseph.

After the birth of their third child, Haines told PEOPLE they were adjusting to a full house. “But within the chaos, we constantly remind each other to pause and take it all in. We feel very lucky," she said.

So who is Sara Haines' husband? Here's everything to know about Max Shifrin and his relationship with the on-air talent.

He is an attorney

The Brooklyn Law School alum is a partner at BakerHostetler, according to the law firm’s website. Haines’ husband “resolves complex commercial disputes for global clients” and is said to devote a “substantial amount of his time to pro bono work.”

Shifrin graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 2010 after attending the University of Connecticut, where he earned a bachelor's in history and political science, per his LinkedIn.

They met on OkCupid

In a personal essay for Glamour, the TV personality recalled having a dating profile set up for her when she was a contributing correspondent on the Today show.

“One of the producers, who was a friend, said, ‘Can we make an online dating profile for you for a segment about what to do and what not to do?’ I was like, ‘Done!’ ‘Cause that was on my to-do list,” she wrote in 2017.

After the segment ran, Haines was told she could delete her profile but decided to keep it. The former Good Morning America co-host committed herself to the process and thought, "'If I can go to the gym an hour a day, I can spend an hour a day whether I’m looking online or on a date for one drink.' "

In an interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle, Shifrin revealed that he “had no idea who Sara was” and that her profile did not describe what she did. “I was definitely hoping to find somebody of Sara’s caliber,” he said, adding that she was a “worthwhile find.”

According to Haines, they went on their first date in 2012, where she went in for a hug, and he was going for a handshake. Soon after, they documented the start of their romance with a photo, which she shared on Instagram nearly a decade later.
