THE VIEW’s Ana Navarro has revealed she “teared up” while celebrating her late mom’s “birthday in heaven.”

The talk show’s latest co-host posted a heart-wrenching Instagram of an unexpected pit-stop that became something beautiful while on vacation.

On August 25th, Ana shared sweeping snapshots of her time in Spain on Instagram as The View is between seasons.

She posed in a patriotic hat with a smile and shades alongside her husband Al Cardenas and her father to her left.

Ana visited a historic village that unexpectedly meant a lot to her.

She began in her caption: “We were was driving between Costa Nova (sweetest little seaside town) to a place called Evora where there are ancient Roman ruins.”

“We passed right by Fatima exit on the highway. It was right there in front of me.

“I knew my dad wanted to go. Al and I not so much. My mom had been a devotee of Our Lady of Fatima. Today would have been my mom’s birthday.”

“Catholic guilt got to me, and at the last minute, I swerved and we went.

Ana said they were overwhelmed by the townspeople mid-prayer and it reminded her of her loss.

“And just like that, we all start tearing-up….Al most of all! He said he was overcome by the presence of his mom and a feeling of peace.

“I consider myself a skeptic about this type of thing.

“But it’s impossible not to be affected by the undeniable energy of the collective prayers and faith of so many people in one spot.

“I think it would have made my mom happy. Happy birthday in heaven, mom.”

‘YOU’LL REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS’

Fans flooded the comments and one wrote: “What a beautiful story. You’ll remember this always.”

Another replied: “I’m tearing up, how special.”

And a third: “You’re a great loving & caring daughter Ana.”

TERRIBLE LOSS

Ana’s mother, Violeta Flores Lopez, tragically died at the age of 81 last year.

The political analyst broke the news to Twitter on December 15th 2021.

“RIP, Mamí (1940-2021) I wish you’d been able to enjoy health & your family longer. As your youngest, I’m grateful for the 50 yrs of unconditional love and support you gave me.

“Go in peace. We’ll look after dad. Hug my brother for me. I’ll miss u always. Until we meet again.”

The tweet included a picture of her mother in her younger days (above).

REMEMBERING VOILETA

On a subsequent episode of The View – at which time Ana was still a guest host gaining momentum with fans – Joy Behar brought up the Twitter tribute.

“We’re very sorry to hear about Ana’s mother, she’s been ill in Nicaragua for a while,” Joy said asking Sunny Hostin to read the tweet out loud.

Sunny said Ana did not return to her home country when her mother fell ill at “her parents’ request because of the political unrest there and how the government feels about the media.”

Sunny said Ana told her her mother had “been ill for some time.”

HAPPY HORIZONS

Earlier this month, the regular guest host was announced as a permanent member of the cast.

After a long time of waiting, The View finally revealed to viewers who would be taking over the spot left empty by ex-host Meghan McCain.

It was announced that not only would Alyssa Farah Griffin be a new host, but so would Ana – after nearly a decade of guesting.

After Whoopi Goldberg said the latter’s name, the moderator told the new co-host: “You do have the floor.”

The CNN commentator took this time to reminisce about her experience on the talk show over the past few years, as well as to thank so many people for making this opportunity possible.

A trailer for next season arrived earlier this week, and fans finally got to see Ana take to the table permanently.

Indeed, joining Whoopi, Joy, Sunny, and Sara Haines on the panel for the new season was Ana and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

In the promo video, after all of the hosts were shown, the caption shared that the “countdown is on” for the new season, which begins on September 6th, 2022.
