Well, it’s officially official! Andy Cohen is a D-A-D dad! The 50-year-old Watch What Happens Live! host welcomed his baby boy into the world yesterday evening.
In an Instagram post last night, Cohen introduced his son to the world, writing: “WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen. He is 9 lbs 2 ounces !! 20 inches !! Born at 6:35 pm, PT He is named after my grandfather Ben Allen. I’m in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I’m a dad. Wow.”
Cohen first announced he was expecting a child via surrogate in December. He revealed the baby’s gender on while hosting CNN’s show with Anderson Cooper New Year’s Eve.

Poor kid. A self centered loud queen for a dad….yay

Is he breast feeding the baby or something?

If course I’m happy for him! And he’ll certainly be able to provide. I just get nervous about people past 50 adopting babies. What teenager wants a 70 year old father?!

Totally agree with you. Of course congratulations to Andy and I am sure he and his son will be very happy. Though I personally could not do it. Bloody hell at 53 my 2 great nieces of 6 and 3 totally wear me out. I am sure Andy can afford a very good young energetic Nanny so all will be well.

Cohen didn’t adopt his son. The baby was born via a surrogate. The baby is Andy’s biological child.

Congratulations on the adoption.
I guess this will give the obnoxious name dropper something else to brag about. Used to be a huge Andy fan, before he turned into the douche bag he is today.

Let’s hope the kid doesn’t end up like him.

Waste of space. The poor Baby.
