Beaming with pride, Goldberg shared a treasured family snapshot live on air.
That’s Lotus, and [that’s] Ruby [the dog]. That’s her dad, my grandson Mason.

Cheers and hugs poured in from the panel — but the moment wasn’t just about Goldberg. The show also took a moment to celebrate her only daughter, Alex Martin, now a grandmother of two.
Co-host Sunny Hostin couldn’t help but swoon over a photo of Mason cradling his newborn.
And he looks in love. He absolutely does.
Goldberg, ever the comic even in tender moments, quipped back:
Yeah, that’ll change.

Still, as the segment rolled on, the Oscar-winning actress reflected on the beauty of family.
It’s a wonderful thing. This is my second.
Ana Navarro chimed in, offering a warm wish:
And congratulations to Alex, who is a grandmother again.
