Whoopi Goldberg is reprising an important role.
The Sister Act actress shared that her grandson Mason Dean welcomed a baby girl, making Whoopi a great-grandmother for the second time.
“I’m going to start out today because I have some fun news from over the weekend,” Whoopi told the audience during the Dec. 8 episode of The View. “My family welcomed Lotus Dean to the world. She’s 6 pounds, 3 ounces.”
The 70-year-old unveiled a few snaps of the newborn alongside the family dog Ruby and cuddling with Mason, the youngest son of Whoopi’s daughter Alex Martin, 51, who Whoopi welcomed with first husband Alvin Martin when she was 18.
Cohost Sunny Hostin was delighted by the photo, adding that Mason “looks in love,” to which Whoopi quipped, “Yeah, that’ll change.”
“It’s a wonderful thing,” Whoopi added. “It’s a wonderful thing. This is my second.”
Ana Navarro also gave a congratulations to Alex for becoming a grandmother again, which prompted Whoopi to joke, “I don’t think about that, I simply think about myself. ‘Cause I never thought I’d have two great-grandkids. To be there for that.”
