Whoopi Goldberg Announces Heartwarming News: She’s a Great-Grandma Again!

In a heartwarming moment shared on the latest episode of The View  , Whoopi Goldberg proudly revealed that she has become a great-grandmother for the second time. The 70-year-old actress, best known for her iconic roles in Sister Act and The View, announced the joyful news with a beaming smile.

“My family welcomed Lotus Dean to the world this weekend. She’s 6 pounds, 3 ounces,” Goldberg shared, her voice filled with pride. “That’s Lotus, and Ruby [the dog], and my grandson, Mason, who looks totally in love with his new baby girl.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin couldn’t help but comment on Mason’s obvious adoration, to which Goldberg joked, “Yeah, that’ll change!” as laughter filled the room.

The moment was undeniably special for the star, who reflected on her newfound role as a great-grandmother. “I never thought I’d have two great-grandkids. To be here for that… it’s truly wonderful,” Goldberg added with a smile.

In a playful exchange, Hostin asked Whoopi, “What do they call you? Glam-ma or…?” To which Goldberg humorously responded, “No, they call me Whoopi—cause I’m not the grandma! I’m the great-grandma!”
