Alyssa Farah Griffin made an exciting announcement on "The View" that left the studio buzzing: she's expecting her very first child! This heartwarming revelation came during the show's Wednesday episode, much to the delight of her co-hosts and viewers alike.
The moment unfolded as the hosts reminisced about some of their most awkward and humorous on-air moments. Alyssa brought up a clip from earlier in 2023 where Whoopi Goldberg unexpectedly asked if she was pregnant. At that time, Alyssa had quickly denied the question, explaining, "You can’t ask me that with my mother-in-law is here!" But here’s where it gets even more intriguing. After the clip played, Alyssa cheekily turned to Whoopi and said, "So, Whoopi. Do you want to ask me again?" while gently cradling her baby bump.
The studio erupted in cheers as Alyssa shared warm embraces with her fellow co-hosts. Adding a personal touch to the celebration, she invited her husband, Justin Griffin, to stand and greet the audience, sharing in their joy.
"Our baby boy, Griffin, is expected to arrive in February," Alyssa announced with radiant happiness. She candidly opened up about the difficult journey to pregnancy, revealing that she underwent IVF. "It was a challenging road, taking about a year and five rounds of IVF, but now he’s on his way. I’m incredibly thankful to have the most supportive husband, Justin, by my side."
Justin expressed his joy as well, saying, "I couldn’t be happier about this. It’s such a significant milestone for our family—actually, our growing family. I’m doing well and holding up through it all."
Adding a lighthearted note, Alyssa joked about her two male dogs, saying they will "make excellent big brothers" to their new arrival. Given the house will soon be filled with males, Alyssa remarked, "At home, I’ll have four men surrounding me, but come here, I work with four women. That’s the perfect balance."
Co-host Sunny Hostin praised Alyssa's perseverance through her fertility struggles, saying, "You are a beacon of hope for many women facing infertility and undergoing IVF."
Alyssa shared advice for those on similar journeys: "Don’t lose hope if you’re dealing with infertility. While IVF can be costly and challenging, I encourage people to consult with their doctors and keep faith."
For those who want to catch more moments like these, "The View" airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
