Sara Haines had no concerns about Joy Behar bringing up her past relationship with a woman on Wednesday's episode of “The View” — because it wasn't the first time they spoke about it in front of a live studio audience.

A knowledgeable source told The Post that Haines, 47, “openly” shared her college romance with another audience member in the studio last week and that she is “not ashamed” or in any way mad at Behar, 82 because she brought it up on the show yesterday. The insider shared that it was “just unexpected at that moment.”

While Haines recognizes that people at home didn't get to hear her story last week, The Post can reveal that she was in no way outed by Behar on live television. The insider also reiterated that Haines feels “no shame” about her past.

It all went wrong when Whoopi Goldberg, 68, blocked Haines' appearance on Behind the Table. podcast during the show's “Hot Topics” segment, in which Behar interrupted by mentioning the lesbian relationship, seemingly out of nowhere.

And here's the kicker: Haines' parents were in the live studio audience.

“It's crazy, but Sara is on the podcast today with her amazing parents who are here with us today,” Goldberg said as the camera panned to Haines' parents in the crowd.

“I have to ask her a question,” Behar interrupted. “Are you going to bring up the lesbian relationship you said you had back at Smith (College)?”

“Dad, earmuffs! Earmuffs!” Haines replied as everyone burst into laughter.

Her “View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35, jumped in to remind Behar, “That was off-air for her to tell us that,” while Sunny Hostin, 56, joked, “It is now on air!”

“It’s a good thing my dad isn’t always watching,” Haines said, appearing to brush off Behar’s comment.

The TV veteran reportedly got a chat about her comments.

“Joy was grilled by her co-hosts and bosses over her on-air comments about Sara Haines' lesbian romance,” Daily Mail reported Thursday, according to a source. “She has crossed the line when it comes to relaying something she was told off-air.”

However, the Post confirmed with our insider that this is not true. Haines and Behar's friendship is fine after the comment.

Haines has long been an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, although she reveals that she grew up in a conservative household.

Her brother is gay and they played in a gay volleyball league in college.

“I grew up in an extremely conservative household in Iowa and was not untouched by that,” she told TV Insider in 2016. But I went to Smith College, which leans left, and once represented my brother, who is gay. Member of an all-gay New York volleyball team and never left the league.”

She added: “So now I have more gay friends than straight. When I combine all of these, I end up somewhere in the middle. I am a melting pot of beliefs.”

While Haines had a same-sex romance in college, she has been married to Max Shifrin since 2014. The couple has three children together: sons Alec (8) and Caleb (5) and daughter Sandra (6).

The Post contacted a representative for “The View” for comment.
