Andy Cohen may be a dad now, but he still likes to get his freak on, and that has some people very upset.
Earlier this week, Page Six reported that the 50-year-old Bravo exec was back on the dating apps three weeks after the birth of his son last month.
“I saw [his profile] last week and it was active that day,” a source told the tabloid. “He uses a picture of his chest as his main image and refers to himself as ‘Coach Taylor.’ He had a secondary black-and-white shot of himself on a yacht.”

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.
NBD, right?
…Wrong!
Apparently, there are still people out there who think once a person has kids they should immediately take a vow of celibacy, stop having sex, and devote 110% of their time to their children.
Here’s what they’ve been saying…
Of course @Andy is back on @Grindr. In his mind having a baby is just another accessory, like a Gucci watch. Plus, he’s vapid & shallow. His staff of nannies will raise that kid. @BravoTV pic.twitter.com/gqUGg5xXD8

Back on Grindr? You’re sad, that kid has no chance.

Andy Cohen instead of being on #grindr try taking care of your new born baby.
— Antinous (@djMe) March 5, 2019
i…dont think many people go to Grindr looking for love. He’s looking for hole.
— Christina Aguqueera (@Almondrobopanda) March 6, 2019
Andy should be more careful who he dates.
Having a 3-week-old infant isn’t stopping Andy Cohen from looking for romance! He’s been spotted on dating apps Scruff and Grindr. “He uses a picture of his chest refers to himself as ‘Coach Taylor’ #RHOBH #RHONJ https://t.co/CgQWsNFIqO— celticsfan (@armynavymom) March 3, 2019
This is just so wrong in so many ways: @Queerty: “New [“gay”] dad Andy Cohen is back on #Grindr and looking for love”: https://t.co/nrlxd2XGBV #PerverseParenting #KidsNeed: #MomANDDad #GayParenting

Seriously, lighten up, people.
Luckily, not everyone subscribes to such an antiquated and, frankly, unrealistic way of thinking…

@Andy so… I heard from a little birdy that you are back on Grindr. If so, could we possibly get dinner? Maybe a movie? I’m also amazing with children. Hope to hear back soon. Hope I don’t sound desperate.
— Joshua Cross (@joshiemormon629) March 6, 2019
If @Andy back on Grindr Im avsilable 🙂
— Björn Nordlund (@BearNorthland) March 6, 2019
Just for the record: We think it’s great Coach Tayler, er, Andy is putting himself out there. Taking care of a newborn is stressful and it’s important he finds ways to let off steam!
QueerTruth
It’s not acceptable that a gay news site supports Page 6’s story that clearly shows an invasion of personal space in harassing and stalking people on dating apps like Grindr.
I’m not a Cohen fan but this is a gross invasion of privacy and it’s not OK at all because who is next? You, me? Not ok.
DCguy
Except for the fact that Cohen has literally made his ENTIRE LIFE about invading people’s private lives and exposing everything about them. He doesn’t get to live like then, then cry that he doesn’t have privacy.
QueerTruth
DCGUY – that’s a good point. LOL.
Still. It’s not ok. Do we want this as a new trend? It’s dangerous.
DCguy
@QueerTruth
I get where you’re coming from, I really do. I just figure, it’s like a kid in school who constantly makes fun of another student who has acne, then complaining because they got teased after they got a zit.
Anybody else I’d say “leave them alone”….but for that one student I kind of have a “Hey, you had it coming” feeling.
Or maybe I’m just an asshole. 😉
Hdtex
Grow up.
QueerTruth
Hdtex,
I am grown up. That’s why I know how to respond to things I don’t agree with. You dear… not at all so kisses. Have a good day.
@HarryB at imgur-rd.ml
Absolutely agree with you
startenout
It’s a very very very old trend. Very.
joseph_buscarino
I agree and Disagree, Dcguy what you are forgetting is that the people’s lives Andy’s invading are on reality shows, they chose to have their personal lives watched and analyzed, its basically his job to do so, or hes made it his job. Don’t get me wrong, I actually can’t stand Andy, but I do think its a dangerous precedent to make it okay to invade peoples personal lives for some tabloid, whether or not it has been done in the past. The other side of me, is saying, he is technically a celeberity, so there for invasion of privacy does go with the territory whether it is right or wrong.
I also wonder, if Andy was straight if this would be a really big issue? would everyone, be like oh look Andys a new dad and he is on tinder? How many single parents are on tinder? but thats okay somehow? is it more seedy to have anonymous gay sex, when you have a new child, than it his to have heterosexual sex? double standard much.
thomes
I personally don’t care at all what Andy Cohen does. Like, ever. But I think it’s just surprising for a lot of people who don’t have live in Nannys etc that a person with a new born infant could have time or energy for hookups. I am a first time uncle, and my brother hasn’t had a second free in the 2 1/2 months that his child has been born. And they are a two parent household. He’s struggling to get a night of sleep let alone leaving his kid at home for a hook up. I think it’s less about the hook up and more about the privilege gap
Brian
Yeah, I don’t think it’s the sex that most people are criticizing. A baby that young is completely life consuming. If he has the time and energy to be cruising the apps and going out to meet guys (I hope to God he’s not bringing strangers to his home with a child there), then it’s pretty obvious that he’s dumping all of the child rearing onto paid help. But I guess the kid might as well get used to it, since he’s probably going to go back to 15 hour work days almost immediately and barely see the baby.
This kid is Farrah Abraham’s kid level screwed.
Josh447
Stars don’t have the same schedules as everyday Americans. Sometimes there’s a little sometimes there’s alot of free time. U go Andy. Have fun dude.
acna64
Andy is nothing but a very rude over paid man. He only takes the best and when he’s done throws you to the curb! Asshole alert!
LostMyClothesAgain
[Insert hateful ignorant IAMHERE comment.] Cue pearl clutching. Stage littered with lame comments about sinful promiscuity, criminal pornography, and deserving to die drug users. Curtain close.
piriblue
You didn’t loose your clothes. You damn have lost your mind. Drama Q_____.
Roan
This may come as a shock to some people, but you’re allowed to be a new parent and still have sexual encounters with other adult humans.
Music908
I am not sure how to lighten up the whole population, but I sure wish I had a magic wand. It seems to me this started about the time TRUMP got elected. Let’s dump him and Pence and VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO next time… I think the whole world will be a little easier to swallow when we don’t feel like we’re headed to some list of HATERS on Social Media.
Rock-N-RollHS
Totally. The democrats don’t have a chance if this keeps up.
Robothedestroyer
Apperantly andy isnt having problems swallowing anything 😉 ba dum chsh
Rock-N-RollHS
Keep going, Andy. Just to annoy people. Who cares what Twitter or anyone else here thinks.
DCguy
Awwww, the right wing troll account wants somebody to do something just to annoy other people. Wow, you guys never change
Brian
DC Guy calls yet another poster a troll, see he’s been doing for God knows how many years, then says “you guys never change”. How is it humanly possible to have that little self awareness? Hilarious.
rickh710
The Twitter commenter in the story was correct:
Andy Cohen IS vapid and shallow, end of story.
Stenar
Yes, he is, but what does that have to do with having sex after children?
david_warner
It’s nobody’s business but his who he dates, when he dates, how he dates, if he has sex or doesn’t, whether or not he has kids. As the saying goes, opinions are like assholes … everyone’s got one. People need to mind their own damn business.
draven
I don’t like dating apps/sites. I just wait until I’m in a gay friendly environment to meet someone. But I have been hit on by guys just walking down the street. Its strange. Men are everywhere
tjack47
Exactly how these people know he’s on Grindr and Scruff? Sanctimonious people really need to do the part where you unclench during a kegel. They have anal cramps. Do they know how bad it is for kids in this world? They need to have a chat with CPS. Our nation caged children they tore away from parents, mothers mostly. If they are obsessed with the sex lives of others, they don’t have one themselves.
Stenar
Apparently, people should only have one child because if you have more than one, you were obviously having sex after the first one was born.
GetOffMyInternet
David, why don’t you adopt a kid and let us all know how your daily life of cruising Instagram and Twitter for what passes as content, is interrupted. It will be a hard lesson to learn that life isn’t all about you, Andy Cohen is the most vapid and shallow piece of flesh out there, just like much of the articles here and if you put yourself out there, expect the clapback. I don’t feel sorry for Andy that taking care of a baby will probably cut into his using of cocaine.
Stenar
It only takes an hour or so to have sex. (For you, probably less.) I’m sure most people can find a spare hour in the day, even ones with newborns.
Greg
I would do Andy Cohen. Look at him sitting in that chair. Legs spread. I can see a big bulge there. He’s ready for it. He says he’s a top, but I think he takes it good too.
Brian
If people with newborns find themselves with a spare hour during the day, they’re gonna use it to take a shower or take a nap or wash some dishes or do any number of things that they can’t get done while caring for the baby. Very few people are going to put sex high on the priority list with a 3 week old.
piriblue
When you are a public figure there is no such thing as privacy. We as the public have paid you to stand over your shoulder. Now what he is doing is wrong and we have the right to comment. If I mess up then I should be set straight. As far as Andy is concerned I remember him asking Danielle about the famous huge dildo. I think Danielle is thinking of passing it on to Andy to keep him out of trouble. She really has no use for it. That was his first question to Danielle. He asked about the Dildo. How thirsty is that. I don’t make this up. If you watch his shows you see how he throws his little hints at his male guests. I wonder if any of them will join the me too movement. As long as they stay in the shows they will not say anything. sometimes I wonder about Jax.
Toofie
Everyone likes to pile on. He’s rich and single. Just because he was in Grindr doesn’t mean he was hooking up.
Geeker
He was an annoying attention whore before the baby and he’ll be an annoying attention whore long after.
jcoberkrom
Andy now that you’re a parent, it’s now about your child. The world doesn’t revolve around you any more. . . . . or shouldn’t.
If that means lonely nights. So be it!!
johnnymcmxxx
That photo of him with his legs spread and his ballsack hanging out just made me lose my breakfast. Ugh. Why must you be so cruel? And stop giving that major A-hole attention. He gets too much already.
batesmotel
He can do whatever he wants, but it is odd being a newly single father that adopted his own baby, but is cruising for random hook ups. Wonder if he’s sleeping with these guys with the baby in the room.
djmcgamester
Wow, talk about distortion. No one is saying he has to become celibate. Not by a long shot. But the kid is less than one month old and he’s either a) leaving him behind to screw some random guys or b) having random guys over while his infant child is in the house. I’m sorry but that’s wrong. Want to get your freak on, Andy? Go find a boyfriend. Have sex with that guy. Show your kid that you even know how to have a meaningful relationship. No signs of maturity of Andy’s part… or Queerty’s.
bvick1636
I love Andy & always have. Perhaps he is looking for a mate to help him share in raising his child. He would NEVER mistreat his baby! Leave him alone. Maybe this is his way of finding a husband. Stay out of other people’s lives. Get a life & wait to see what happens first. He is a good person.
pickles
UGH! Lay off him. Would y’all prefer he go out to bars? What on earth do you know about his free time to glance at apps? He’s FIFTY… he can do what he wants. Plus, for the haters, take the time to listen to him on XM. The dude is an avout Trump hater, donates generously to causes YOU and YOU and YOU are about -even a few times to Project Runway’s Chris March for his health problems. He hired Dan Rather, The Alter family, projects the most queer radio on earth but he can do no right with so many. Get lives. Or at least, let him live his own.
