“I don’t think I would have made the decision if I didn’t feel I was really ready. And I definitely have, yeah, I just feel like this is absolutely what I should be doing. And I mean, I wish I had done it sooner and it’s just, it’s extraordinary to me, sort of the amount of…I mean, I’ve been, been able to spend the whole, days. I mean, all my time with him really, you know, during this pandemic and it’s just, it’s been amazing. And I can’t, I’ve never like woken up early in the morning. I now like bolt out of bed at 7 without an alarm clock or 6:30. And I want to be there when he wakes up at 8:45 and I love, I mean, I just love every aspect of it and it’s just truly the greatest thing ever. And I sort of just feel like I, what was I doing before?”–Openly gay journalist Anderson Cooper, sharing his thoughts on becoming a dad. Cooper became a father for the first time in April 2020 with the birth of his son Wyatt through surrogacy.

If he’d marry me I could help him out a lot with the baby.

Has he been forgiven for piling on on Kathy Griffin when she was persecuted over that in retrospect insignificant photo? For whatever reason, I still feel like he got a pass on that whole Kathy G thing, and ever since that the good-news reporting about him never makes me feel good. Also, I miss her on that New Year’s Eve show…the guy they have substituting for her seems so needy.

He hasn’t been forgiven for piling on & abandoning his former friend the way he did.

he didn’t pile on, he was asked to make a statement since he did not address the pic on air unlike the rest of cnn, so he clarified on twitter. he only denounced the pic not kathy. and he had every right to.
since then kathy is the one who has been trashing him everywhere but he hasn’t said anything at all.
I think he gets a free pass because he has a lot of genuine goodwill with the people he works with and the media in general, unlike kathy. he is very well liked. andy doesn’t get the same pass.

I’m thinking maybe he just has a very good publicist who regularly can place these “not only is he good-looking, rich, and an important journalist, but he’s also a great person” “stories”. I guess I’d feel better about him if there were a story about him making amends to Kathy, and the two of them reconciling. If that happened, I would watch his show again. Meanwhile, to each his own.

No, he has not been forgiven. He completely sold her out and showed himself to be the weak pu**y that he is. Kathy was a friend to him and his amazing mother but he completely turned his back on her. She was obviously deeply hurt and I’ll always be on Team Kathy.

He’s going to be 70+ when his kid graduates from college, but at least his child will need less therapy than those birthed by Andy Cohen .

Touché…!!

I’m glad I waited until I was in my 30s to have kids because I was neither ready nor mature enough in my 20s. However I am certainly glad that I didn’t wait until I was in my 50s to have kids. That’s just stupid. You will never have the energy to raise children in your 50s or beyond and I laugh at Alec Baldwin, Anderson Cooper and other poor slobs who are having kids in their 50s. Sorry guys but you probably won’t live to see you kid graduate college.

Well, aren’t you just a barrel of misery.

well when you are busy running from warzone to warzone and circuit parties (probably drug filled orgies with your bf as well) with your bestie who’s thinking about being a father?

If he wasn’t spending so many years hiding in the closet he could have adopted earlier. Glad he has it together now, but that is what bigotry and fear do to people.
