Alyssa Farah Griffin Returns to The View After Maternity Leave

0:00It's April 3rd. You're listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today. AI-powered entertainment coverage. The view just hit pause for spring break, starting Friday April 3rd on Good Friday, with no fresh episodes on next week either. Though bounce back live on Monday April 13th, and that's when co-host Alyssa Farah Gryffin slides back into her seat after maternity leave. She welcomed her first kid, a baby boy named Justin Patrick Gryffin Jr. on February 10th. He clocked in at 7 pounds and 19 and a half inches, and both mom and baby are doing great. Alyssa and her husband Justin have been waiting for this moment. Turns out, getting there wasn't easy. Alyssa battled endometriosis, which she only learned about during treatments, and went through five grueling, rounds of IVF. She called it an emotional rollercoaster, but her hubby stayed solid through the hormone swings and tough news. While she was out, guests like Whitney Cummings and Savannah Crisley jumped in to keep the table hot.
