Co-hosts Whoppi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasslebeck couldn't get enough of the little boy as they greeted the Academy Award winning singer and actress.

Jennifer explained that she brought David on the show because he couldn't bear to be without his mother.

'He wouldn't let me leave him, so I had to bring him with me,' she told the ladies.

Clearly not camera shy, he held onto the microphone for his mother throughout the segment.

Showing he shared his mother's passion for singing, he cooed and hummed the whole was through Jennifer's interview.

But the proud mother was nonplussed, and could only speak of the love she shared for her son.

'I just learn from him, he keeps me smiling everyday,' she said. 'I run out of space on my phone, trying to capture everything he does.'

She then showed a clip of David Jr. singing along to a R&B song while wearing just a nappy.

Dressed in baby blue Rocawear puffa jacket, a pair of jeans and all-white trainers for his TV-screen début, David Jr. was epitome of cute.

His slim-line mother dressed in a simple black top and trouser combination that showed off her incredible figure.

She jazzed the outfit up with a aqua blue belt and some sparkly bangles.

Jennifer spoke of her dramatic weight loss on the show, which has seen the singer lose a staggering 80 pounds.

As before and after shots were shown on the screen behind her, the Dreamgirls star said that David Jr. does not recognise her in old pictures which show her former curvier figure.

'Sometime he doesn't recognise me before, because this is the only mommy he has known,' she said.
