Elisabeth Hasselbeck has returned to The View alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters.
While on maternity leave, she saw such A-listers as Victoria Beckham and La Toya Jackson stand in for her.
Hasselbeck, whose new baby, Isaiah, is her third child said that “three is perfect”.
She added: “I do like my maternity leave. I call it Maternity Leave Me Alone. I like to have everything shut off. I didn’t want to tap back in. I just wanted everything to take a second seat because it’s difficult when you plug back in to separate from everything again.”
Hasselbeck said she kept up with her co-panellists. “We emailed back and forth and kept loose contact. They checked in on me, which is incredible, and I needed to hear from them. But I liked having that separation for a little bit.”
