Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an American television host and television personality. She was a contestant on Survivor: The Australian Outback and is a current co-host on the daytime talk show The View.
According to the AP, Elisabeth Hasselbeck will return to the show on Oct. 19, just 10 weeks after giving birth to her third child, Isaiah Timothy.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, co-host of ABC’s “The View” returns; live, OCT. 19 (11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, ET) to rejoin pals Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd. Mrs. Hasselbeck spoke to her fellow co-hosts; live on-air, via telephone on Sept. 24. The phone call was the first time the 32-year-old mother of three spoke publicly since her hiatus and the birth of her third child, Isaiah Timothy, in August. During her maternity leave a variety of guest co-hosts, including Meghan McCain, Kate Gosselin, La Toya Jackson, Alexandra Wentworth, Mika Brzezinski (”Morning Joe”), E.D. Hill, Melissa Gilbert, Gloria Estefan, Heidi Montag, former “View” alum Lisa Ling, Khloe Kardashian, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Kaley Cuoco and “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi, have filled in.
Even though she sometimes forgets that she is pregnant, her body doesn’t and her cravings are definitely there with this pregnancy. She revealed, “I did the cha cha cha diet: chips, chocolate, and cheese straight through, that works for me.”
Although she does indulge during her pregnancy, she says that she buckles down right away to lose the baby weight. After she had her 19-month-old son Taylor, people kept asking her how she lost the weight so fast. Her answer:
“I did not lose the weight. I know exactly where every pound is in Central Park that I ran off. I can point to a staircase and say, ‘I ran those thirty times … flight after flight.’ They’re not lost, they’re still waiting for me to find them one day, I’m sure.”
Elisabeth is due on August 11th and her husband is set to be a NFL analyst for ESPN, so her postpartum life may be fore difficult than she cares to have. Her solution is to call in her family and friends for help. She says, “I’ve already booked out our moms for August. ‘Hey Mom, you’re coming here [and] Betsy, you’re coming on August whatever. I have the moms on call because I honestly could not get through that period after [the baby arrives]. It’s hard for me after. I wish it were easy, I’d have 12!”
