The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin has revealed she is expecting her first child with her husband, Justin Griffin. The couple, who married in November 2021, is expecting a baby boy after struggling with infertility due to Alyssa’s endometriosis diagnosis. “I went undiagnosed my whole life until I started this process,” the former White House communications director said. Griffin, 36, and her husband underwent five rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF). “Baby Griffin is on the way,” she told People, revealing she is five months pregnant. The host is “so excited,” sharing that she plans on having two kids but wanted a boy because she “always liked the idea of a big brother looking out for the younger siblings.” In 2023, co-host Whoopi Goldberg caught Griffin off guard when she asked if she was expecting a child. The TV personality looked shocked and denied pregnancy. While on air this Tuesday, Griffin turned to Goldberg and asked, “So, Whoopi, do you want to ask me again?” The show’s cast then jumped out of their seats to congratulate her on the start of the family.
