‘The View’ host Alyssa Farrah Griffin is pregnant, expecting first child with husband Justin
Alyssa Farah Griffin is going to be a mom!
The “View” host revealed that she’s five months pregnant with her and husband Justin Griffin’s first child — a boy — after undergoing five rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
“Baby Griffin is on the way and we’re just so excited — and terrified,” she told People in an interview published Wednesday.
Alyssa, 36, shared that she’s due in February and “it’s starting to feel very real.”
“I’m so excited to be a boy mom, even though I’ll be outnumbered at home because we have two male dogs,” she added elsewhere in the interview.
The TV personality explained that she plans on having two kids, but wanted a boy first because she “always liked the idea of a big brother looking out for the younger siblings.”
Gushing over her pregnancy, Alyssa said, “This past week, I felt the baby kick for the first time, and immediately I grabbed Justin’s hand and he felt [it] and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what’s happening?!’ It was magical.”
Justin, 37, chimed in, telling the outlet that he “always wanted to be a father.”
The couple, who tied the knot in November 2021, explained they had been “ready to have a family” for three years and underwent five rounds of IVF before conceiving.
Alyssa told the outlet that she was also diagnosed with endometriosis during the process, which made it difficult for her to get pregnant.
“I went undiagnosed my whole life until I started this process,” she said. “So that just added to the complications.”
Alyssa also announced her pregnancy news with her “View” co-hosts and audience members on Tuesday’s episode of the daytime show.
The political commentator chimed in on a conversation about embarrassing moments, stating she couldn’t narrow one down, but had a “viral moment.”
She then had producers cut to a clip from September 2023 when co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked her if she was pregnant.
At the time, Alyssa appeared shocked and shut down the pregnancy comment.
