Monday, April 13, 2026 – Alyssa Farah Griffin makes an emotional return to The View just two months after giving birth to her son, Justin Jr. The 36-year-old new mom appears teary-eyed, holding back tears as she reunites with her co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro.

“I miss you all so much!” Alyssa says, her voice trembling with joy. “I’m back, I feel like a human lighter, but he is here, he is with us! Little Justin is the most magical thing! Every mom tells me, ‘Your brain chemistry changes overnight.’ My world feels fuller and more magical, and I am so grateful.”

She takes a heartfelt moment to honor her incredible support system. “I really want to thank my amazing husband, Justin. You see the best in your partner after such a traumatic labor. And our nanny Maria, and night nurse Theresa – I hope she’s watching – you are incredible. I couldn’t do my job without you. And shout out to nurses, literally angels in scrubs.”

Alyssa also praises her colleagues for keeping the show running smoothly during her maternity leave. “I watch every episode from home and think, ‘This is the best show I’ve ever seen!’ It’s even better at the table than on TV,” she adds, smiling as she returns to the panel.

Returning to the set, Alyssa brings along heartwarming family photos of Justin Jr., and quickly jumps back into the day’s political discussions, blending motherhood and professionalism with effortless grace. Fans and viewers feel touched by her emotional comeback—a reminder that even television stars are human, and that love and support make every challenge sweeter.
