Sherri Shepherd<\/a>‘s 20-year-old son apparently got the surprise of a lifetime when his mom hugged him from behind, the talk show host revealed.<\/p>\n The current Sherri star and former The View<\/a> cohost livened up Thursday’s episode of Live With Kelly and Mark<\/a> when she opened up about a particularly awkward moment she shared with her son, Jeffrey.<\/p>\n Shepherd first reflected on her home life with Jeffrey, indicating that he’s “eating me out of house and home,” before comically reacting to his verbiage.<\/p>\n “If he calls me ‘bruh’ one more time? Girl, it’s nuts,” the 58-year-old told Kelly Ripa<\/a> and Mark Consuelos<\/a>.<\/p>\n ABC<\/p>\n Sherri Shepherd discusses her son on ‘Live With Kelly and Mark’<\/p>\n Ripa jumped in to admit that, of the couple’s three children together, “We don’t understand what our youngest son is saying most of the time. It’s a whole separate language.”<\/p>\n Shepherd then reflected on what she suggested were the brighter days of parenting.<\/p>\n “You know what? Here’s the thing. You remember when your son would say, ‘Mommy, you’re so pretty! Mommy, I want to marry you!’ None of that,” Shepherd said. “He’s like, ‘Bruh, why you in my room?'”<\/p>\n Shepherd then revealed an awkward exchange with Jeffrey when she attempted to show her son some affection.<\/p>\n “I tried to hug him. That’s my baby. I was so proud of him. But, I tried to hug him from behind because I felt this burst of love,” recalled Shepherd. “And I hugged him and he goes, ‘Ah! Breasts on back! Awkward! Don’t do it anymore!”<\/p>\n The actress said that her “self-esteem was on the floor” after the exchange, and that she doesn’t “understand this man-child that I have” now.<\/p>\n Ripa pushed the moment one step further, quipping that, “Meanwhile, Mark wants a hug from behind later on,” eliciting a laugh from her husband before the show went to a commercial break.<\/p>\n Jerod Harris\/Getty<\/p>\n Sherri Shepherd and her son Jeffrey<\/p>\n Shepherd previously made headlines for thirsting over<\/a> the adult son of fellow View family member Sunny Hostin<\/a> during the latter’s appearance on Sherri \u2014 a moment\u00a0The View\u00a0stars later mocked on the air.<\/a><\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our\u00a0EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Sunny, you know when you come over here it’s cougars all over.
