Skye said Whoopi Goldberg was a very involved great-grandmother in the interview, helping to care for Skye's daughter Charli Rose, who is eight years old.

A strong closed family

Whoopi acknowledged: "She supports me. Our family is close-knit. As they say, "It takes a village," right? We make up the community. "Every day I see her. It will surely be a call or text if I can't see her. She never loses sight of me or forgets about me."
