#3: The Birth of Her Daughter

Whoopi became a mother at 18 when she welcomed her daughter, Alex Martin, in 1973. Despite financial struggles as a young single mom, Whoopi worked tirelessly to provide for Alex, living in a one-bedroom apartment and on food stamps before making it to the big time.

Their bond remained unshakable as Whoopi rose to fame, with Alex often accompanying her to events. Alex has followed in her mother’s footsteps, becoming an actress and producer. Whoopi has always been Alex’s biggest supporter, sharing a candid and loving relationship rooted in mutual respect.
