Goldberg made headlines on Sept. 14 when, during a live conversation onThe Viewabout Utah Sen.Mitt Romney’s decision not to run for re-election in 2024, she suddenly stopped and asked Alyssa, “Are you pregnant?”

“No! Oh my God!” Alyssa laughed in shock, noting Justin’s mother and grandmother were both in the audience. “You can’t say that while my mother-in-law is here! She’s been dying for me to get pregnant!”

“Please say it’s not my tummy!” Alyssa responded, later adding, “I’m very open to being pregnant soon. I am not blessed to be pregnant yet, but my husband and I are thinking about it.”

“Forgive me. I’m just, I just… you have this… I see a glow,” Goldberg repeated.

Like Justin,Alyssa laughed off the unprovoked question.

“At the break, [Whoopi] was apologizing to me and giving me the heart sign,” she said in an appearance on theBehind the Tablepodcast that same day. “That’s what makes the show fun. It’s completely unpredictable. I thought we were talking aboutMitt Romney, but then we were talking about my pregnancy plans of the future — which, just again, headline news, I am not pregnant at this time.”

The former White House director of strategic communications went on to credit her makeup artist for giving her her glow.

One good thing did come out of it, though. Whenever the time does come to announce a pregnancy, Alyssa said she now knows just how she plans to share the news. “I’ll be sure to blurt it out, if and whenI am pregnant. I will definitely interrupt Whoopi to inform her,” she joked.

Alyssa and Justinmarried in November 2021in front of family and friends in a church wedding in Florida. The pair got engaged in July 2020 afterGriffin proposed to heron a boat in Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.

Last month, Alyssa wished Justin a happy birthday in aloving Instagram post.

“Happy birthday to my husband, best friend, favorite person on the planet, and best pup pop around,” she wrote. “Love you, @justinpgriffin ❤️ Here’s to another year of adventures together.”
