CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has taken to Instagram to celebrate. Though many have, no doubt, referred to him as “daddy” over the years, Cooper commemorated one year of being a father by acknowledging his son Wyatt’s first birthday.
“Today is Wyatt’s first birthday,” Cooper posted on April 27. “I can’t believe it has already been a year. He is sweet and funny, happy and kind, and I love him more than I ever thought possible.”
The post, at the time of this writing, has generated almost half a million likes. Several celebrities even stopped by to wish the family well.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Happy birthday sweet baby boy,” wrote actor Leslie Jordan. “May your cake taste sweeter and your balloons fly higher than ever.”
“That face!!! So cute,” added Strangers with Candy and The Mandalorian star Amy Sedaris.
“How could you not!? What a punim on that guy,” observed Will & Grace creator Max Mutchnick.
Singer and fellow gay dad Ricky Martin also added three heart-eyed emojis as a comment.
Anderson Cooper’s announcement of Wyatt’s birth in 2020 was a surprise; he hadn’t publicly hinted that he planned to have a child prior. Cooper continues to co-parent his son with ex-boyfriend Benjamin Miasani.

Feel good stories about Anderson Cooper, courtesy of his publicist(s), make me want to vomit. I’m convinced that he’s not the person who he wants to appear to be. In any case, right now, he’s ruining Jeopardy for me – I hope this is his last week as guest host. If he reaches out to Kathy Griffin and makes amends and reconciles with her, then maybe I’ll watch another show he’s on. Now, no. Still, I wish the baby the best,

Meh. Another rich dude who bought a baby. I hope the kid does well, but Anderson is pretty meh.

“He is sweet and funny, happy and kind.” LOL!!!! He’s ONE YEAR OLD, yet he is kind? Does he volunteer at soup kitchens and help old ladies cross the street? People like Anderson Cooper live in such weird, self-important non-realities and are ridiculous. His son is adorable, though.

Andy Cohen gets a baby , Anderson wants one too..Anderson Cooper is great on CNN but he is whiny annoying and a non stop chatterbox as a guest host on live with kelly .he is really odd. Doesn’t wash his jeans eats the same thing everyday. Has a kitchen but doesn’t cook doesn’t drink anything hot..doesn’t dance. Drinks but doesn’t go to bars .has / had a boyfriend…
