Whoopi Goldberg is delighted to have become a great-grandmother for a second time

Whoopi Goldberg has become a great-grandmother for the second time.

The 70-year-old star has revealed her grandson Mason Dean and his girlfriend Hylee Whitley have welcomed their first child into the world.

During Monday's (08.12.25) taping for The View, she said: "I'm going to start out today because I have some fun news from over the weekend.

"My family welcomed Lotus Dean to the world. She's 6 pounds, 3 ounces."

She added: "It's a wonderful thing. It's a wonderful thing. This is my second."

Her co-hosts congratulated her on the wonderful news, while Ana Navarro gave a shout out to Whoopi's only child Alex Martin.

She said: "Congratulations to Alex, who is a grandmother again."

However, Whoopi quipped: “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.”

Her granddaughter Amara Syke welcomed baby Charli Rose into the world in 2014.
