Whoopi Goldberg is a great-grandmother of two!

On the latest episode of The View, released Monday, Dec. 8, the veteran actress and broadcaster, 70, announced that she had welcomed her second great-grandchild over the weekend.

“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 6lbs., 3oz.,” she said. “That’s Lotus and Ruby [the dog]. She is, that’s her dad — my grandson, Mason.”

“He looks in love,” co-host Sunny Hostin added, to which Goldberg joked, “Yeah, that’ll change.”

“Congratulations,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” added Goldberg. “It’s a wonderful thing. This is my second.”

Co-host Ana Navarro then said, “And congratulations to Alex, who is a grandmother again,” in reference to Goldberg’s only child, Alex Martin, whom she shares with her first husband, Alvin Martin.

“I don’t think about that, I simply think about myself,” Goldberg added. “Cause I never thought I’d have two great-grandkids. To be there for that.”

“No, they call me Whoopi — cause I’m not the grandma! I’m the great grandma! So just Whoopi,” the Sister Act legend replied.

Mimicking Goldberg’s first great-grandchild, co-host Sara Haines said, “Oopi, sit down!”

“She couldn’t say her Ws, so I was ‘Oopi’ for the longest time,” Goldberg explained. “So we’ll see. But I think this one, she’s ready to get stuff done.”

“So alert!”  Hostin said as photos of the newborn appeared behind the co-hosts.

“Yes, she’s very alert,” Goldberg added.

Goldberg first became a great-grandmother in 2014 when her eldest grandchild, Amara Skye, welcomed a daughter, Charli Rose.

“I wasn’t your normal grandmother, and I’m not going to be your normal great-grandmother,” she said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in July 2014, adding that she became a grandmother in her 30s.

Asked what her great-grandchild should call her at the time, Goldberg said, “She better call me Whoopi.”

The mother of one’s daughter shares Amara Dean, 36, Jerzey Dean, 29, and Mason Dean, 27, with her husband Bernard Dean.

As the audience applauded, Goldberg smiled with the mix of pride and disbelief that only someone watching multiple generations grow up can truly understand. She went on to share that the family had spent most of the weekend gathered together, passing the newborn around, arguing playfully over who she resembled, and marveling at how “someone that tiny can already run the whole room.”

Goldberg also joked that despite her insistence on being called “Whoopi,” her family was already debating what adorable nickname Lotus might invent once she begins talking. “It doesn’t matter what I say,” she laughed. “Kids decide these things. I’ll probably end up being ‘Gaga’ or ‘Poopi’ or something ridiculous.”

The co-hosts burst into laughter, with Hostin adding that babies have a “mystical way of humbling everyone — even EGOT winners.”

Goldberg then reflected more seriously on the joy of watching her family expand. “I’ve lived a long, wild life,” she said, “and moments like this remind you what all the chaos is for. This is the good stuff. This is the payoff.”

As the segment wrapped, the show displayed a final photo of Lotus sleeping peacefully, her tiny hand resting on Ruby the dog. “She’s already stealing the spotlight,” Goldberg quipped. “Just like a true member of this family.”
