Alyssa Farah Griffin will officially reprise her seat at The View hot topics table after almost two months away from the show.

Whoopi Goldberg announced during Thursday’s (April 2) broadcast that Griffin will be returning after the show takes its annual Easter hiatus.

Though she did not share an exact date, Entertainment Weekly reports Griffin is set to return Monday, April 13, after the show takes a week-long hiatus beginning April 6.

Goldberg announced the happy news during the broadcast. “I don’t know if you saw the show yesterday, but it turned out Alyssa was right about Bad Bunny’s halftime show putting her into labor,” Goldberg said, referring to the joke Griffin made in the previous episode. “It put her into labor! She’s at the hospital right now.”

Goldberg continued, “We are wishing her the best as she waits for her baby to arrive. It’s kind of fabulous.”

Griffin gave birth to Justin Patrick Griffin Jr., her first child, on Feb. 10. The longtime View host had been open about her struggles with IVF. When she announced the news on The View in October 2025, she admitted she was “so excited.”

“Baby boy Griffin arrives in February,” she said at the time. “I’m so overjoyed and I’ve shared with all of you, I went through IVF. It was hard, it took us about a year. It took five rounds but he’s here, he’s coming. I’m so happy to have the most supportive husband in the world, Justin.”

Griffin’s absence was certainly felt as The View continued without her.

Several television personalities have filled in for Griffin throughout her maternity leave, including controversial former View hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Abby Huntsman. Amanda Carpenter,  Sheryl Underwood, comedian Whitney Cummings, and Savannah Chrisley also guest hosted, as did Sara Eisen.

After Cummings completes her week guest hosting this Friday April 3, the show will take a break before returning with Griffin right back in her seat beside Sunny Hostin on April 13.
