More details about Goldberg and Martin's relationship

Goldberg rarely discusses her relationship with her only daughter but has shared that she had her when she was 18 years old and that the two have a close and tight bond due to the struggles they overcame together. Martin has opened up about growing up poor and how hard her mother worked to create a stable life for the two of them.

“I know what it’s like with the food stamps, because my mom has her (welfare) cards framed,” Alex said in an interview with TheGrio. “I remember we had the one room space and we slept in the bed together." 

Martin is the daughter of Goldberg's then husband, Alvin Martin. She is a filmmaker and producer.
