Andy Cohen, the charismatic host known for his daring questions and lively personality on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!,” has captivated audiences since he joined the network in 2009. While Cohen’s professional life in the spotlight is well-documented, his personal life remains a topic of curiosity for many fans.
Despite never being married, Cohen has embarked on a journey of fatherhood, welcoming two children via surrogate. His son, Ben, now 5 years old, and his daughter, Lucy, who just turned 1, were born through different surrogates but share a biological connection as siblings. Cohen’s experience as a single father has been chronicled in his book, “The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up,” shedding light on his unique path to parenthood.
Reflecting on his journey, Cohen revealed in a candid moment with Anderson Cooper on CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast in 2018 that he had never imagined he would have a family, especially at the age of 50 when he embarked on this new chapter of his life. Despite the challenges, Cohen expressed his long-standing desire for a family and his readiness to embrace single fatherhood.
When it comes to his romantic life, Cohen maintains a level of privacy, rarely discussing his dating endeavors publicly. While there have been rumors of past flings and relationships, Cohen has confirmed few of them. Notably, he acknowledged a brief fling with former NSYNC member Lance Bass in a Bravo interview, clarifying that it was not a serious relationship.
One of Cohen’s more well-known past relationships was with Broadway star John Hill, known for his roles in productions like “Hairspray” and “The Boy from Oz.” The couple dated for three years before parting ways amicably. Despite their breakup, they continue to collaborate professionally without any animosity, as demonstrated during a live show in 2020 where they addressed their separation.
Although Cohen remains open to the possibility of new relationships and has expressed his fondness for love, he has yet to find a long-term partner to introduce to his children. Until then, he is likely to keep his dating life private while entertaining Bravo fans with his entertaining antics and probing interviews on “Watch What Happens Live!”
