From doctor\u2019s appointments to the hardest moments in between, Justin was by her side. &#8220;I feel so lucky to have such an incredible partner,\u201d she shared, crediting his steady presence throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Justin, for his part, pointed to Griffin\u2019s resilience as what carried them through. He recalled her determination across each round of IVF, saying she met every setback with the same, can-do mindset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;There&#8217;s so many things that attract me to Alyssa, but one of the things is her determination,&#8221; Justin said. &#8220;Going into IVF, there was so much of that determination that came through. From the first round to the last, she was always like, &#8216;Oh no, I&#8217;ve got this. There&#8217;s going to be nothing that can get in my way. I&#8217;m tough. I know how to do this.&#8217; &#8220;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Justin Griffin and Alyssa Farah Griffin ABC\/Michael Le Brecht II\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/db5846b5ec3164e047ccb809fe9ac761.jpeg\"\/>Justin Griffin and Alyssa Farah Griffin <\/p>\n<p>ABC\/Michael Le Brecht II<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, with the hardest part behind them, the couple are looking ahead to the experience of parenthood they worked so long to reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;&#8221;I&#8217;m excited to relive some of the most magical parts of my childhood through the lens of my own child,&#8221; Justin said. &#8220;As someone who grew up with a big family and a very close family, the best memories I have are with my mom, my dad, my brother and our cousins. So I&#8217;m excited to create that environment for our son.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s like this blank slate of endless possibilities,&#8221; Alyssa continued. &#8220;And there&#8217;s an awesome responsibility attached to that, but I couldn&#8217;t think of a better person to be the partner in this than Justin,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They say anything worth doing is hard. Well, all of the struggle feels so in the rear view mirror now that we&#8217;re here,&#8221; she adds. &#8220;We&#8217;re just so excited for everything ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Alyssa Farah Griffin and Justin Griffin ABC\/Lou Rocco\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fef7ace9689569065a37955466487265.jpeg\"\/>Alyssa Farah Griffin and Justin Griffin <\/p>\n<p>ABC\/Lou Rocco<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for The View, guest hosts will be filling in for Alyssa for the next few months.
