Joy Behar revealed she met her husband, Steve Janowitz, at a nudist colony.

The “View” co-host’s confession came on Thursday’s episode of the talk show while the ladies were discussing Jason Kelce’s shirtless antics at Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game.

While Behar claimed she “couldn’t care less” about the Eagles center’s rowdy behavior, her co-hosts argued it’s better to “show your crazy upfront” to your significant other so “you don’t surprise them later.”

Sunny Hostin, 55, then questioned whether Behar had ever ripped off her shirt, to which she responded, “No.”

“Oh, she definitely has,” Sara Haines, 46, chimed in. “She met her husband at a nudist colony!”

However, Alyssa Farah Griffin clarified it was a “partial nudist colony.”

“First of all, he was nude, I was dressed,” Behar, 81, explained before adding that she doesn’t wear “bathing suits in public.”

“Neither does Steve!” Griffin, 34, joked.

Behar — who wed Janowitz in August 2011 — previously opened up about him for the first time during a March 2020 episode of “The View.”

At the time, the TV personality quipped she didn’t get undressed for her husband while at the semi-nudist colony event because she wasn’t in his will yet, per People.

It wasn’t until later that night, when they both attended a movie night hosted by the colony, that they spoke for the first time while fully clothed.

Behar and Janowitz, 80, waited three decades to tie the knot because the TV host had cold feet and also wanted to avoid having in-laws.

“I waited until all the parents were dead,” she said during an episode of “The Rachael Ray Show” in 2011, according to the outlet.

“So I have no in-laws at all. He has none and I have none. ’Cause marriage is mostly about in-laws, I find. They always want you to visit them and come for lasagna.”

Joy was previously married to Joe Behar from 1962 to 1981. The former couple share daughter Eve Behar Scotti, 53.
