Alyssa Farah Griffin Just Dropped Big News on "The View": She’s Expecting Her First Child!
During a lively episode of "The View" on Wednesday, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin shared some truly exciting news that had everyone buzzing—she’s pregnant with her very first baby!
The announcement came as the hosts reminisced about their most awkward and memorable moments on the show. At one point, they played a clip from earlier this year where fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg suddenly asked Alyssa if she was pregnant. At the time, Alyssa quickly denied it, saying, "You can’t ask me that with my mother-in-law here!" But now, things are very different.
After the clip ended, Alyssa smiled knowingly and teased Whoopi, “So, Whoopi. Do you want to ask me that again?” while gently rubbing her baby bump. That simple gesture sparked applause and cheers from the audience as Alyssa shared a heartfelt hug with her fellow co-hosts.
In an even sweeter moment, she invited her husband, Justin Griffin, to come forward and greet the crowd. Alyssa revealed, “Our baby boy Griffin is expected to arrive in February. I’m absolutely overjoyed. I’ve been open with all of you about my journey with IVF—it was a challenging year, taking five rounds before we got here. But now, he’s on the way, and I couldn’t be happier to have Justin, the most supportive husband, by my side.”
Justin chimed in, expressing his joy as well: “I couldn’t be happier. It’s a huge milestone for our family—actually, our growing family, I should say.”
Adding a lighthearted touch, Alyssa joked that her two male dogs will make excellent big brothers to their new baby boy.
She also reflected on the humorous dynamic at home, saying, “Since we’re having a boy, I’ll be surrounded by four men at home, but then I come here to work with four women. It’s the perfect balance.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin praised Alyssa’s perseverance through her fertility struggles, stating, “You’re going to be an inspiration to so many women dealing with infertility and IVF.”
Alyssa shared encouraging advice for others facing similar challenges: “Don’t lose hope if you’re going through infertility. I know it can be expensive, but please try to consult with your doctors and weigh your options.”
For those who watch, "The View" airs weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern/10 a.m. Central on ABC.
But here’s where it gets controversial—sharing personal fertility journeys on national TV isn’t universally embraced. Some viewers might argue it’s too private, while others see it as an empowering act of transparency. What do you think? Is this kind of openness helping to destigmatize infertility, or does it raise too many personal boundaries? Drop your thoughts in the comments and join the conversation!
