Say it ain’t so!
Rumor has it Andy Cohen is dating a hot, young Harvard student, and he has been for a while now.
The 47-year-old Bravo host has been seen vacationing on two separate occasions with 28-year-old Clifton Dassuncao, a fellow in Environmental Science and Engineering at Harvard University.

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.
The guys first met last summer when Clifton appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live. Since then they’ve been spotted vacationing together twice in the past three months.
The first sighting happened around Christmas when both Andy and Clifton were snapped partying on billionaire Barry Diller’s $150 million yacht in the Caribbean. Clifton posted photos of the trip to his Instagram account, but quickly set the account to private after the Daily Mail took notice.

Then last week, the pair was once again spotted enjoying each other’s company on Diller’s yacht. Several photos of the two were also posted to Instagram by Bruce Bozzi, owner of The Palms and one of Andy’s BFFs:
In addition to all that, Kenneth in the 212 writes, “I’m not sure how serious they are about each other, but I can add to the speculation that I saw Dassuncao literally hanging off of Cohen at Elmo a couple months ago — in between make-out sessions — and they seemed to be enjoying each other’s company very much.”
So there you have it, folks. The world is officially down one of its most eligible bachelors.

I’ll at least give Andy some credit that his toy-boy might have a brain…’course that credit would belong *to the toy-boy*.
I say “might have a brain” because I’m surrounded by Ivy alums at work and a high percentage of them display a breathtaking lack of common sense and capability.

My whole branch of my industry is lousy with Harvard and Stanford types and for all of the brilliance displayed in their research and (most) business dealings, I am amazed some can find their way to and from the office every day.

For photos of Clifton Dassuncao in various states of undress, see link below. There is even a video of him running in Speedos with his hunky friends, slowed down Baywatch-style. I used to do that run too although my “Speedos” had a bit more coverage. Nice body. We’ve seen him and Cohen here in NYC but never realized he had such a nice body…

I’ve never understood why people have a problem with large age difference relationships. Some work. Some don’t. Some guys only date guys their age and that doesn’t work either. My husband is 17 years older than me. We’ve been together 35 years.
Bryguyf69
While apartment shopping in a West Village where Cohen lives, we saw him with Dassuncao, whom my girlfriend assumed was his boyfriend. I’ve always heard that Cohen likes beefy guys his age so I said that he was probably an assistant. My GF insisted that they had a vibe so we bet each other a free vacation Well, I lost. I just hope she chooses a vacation in New Jersey and not Monaco…

Kelly Ripa is such a fag hag, being BFF to Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, and many more of NYC’s gay glitterati. That’s why she was justifiably upset when Rosie O’Donnell called into her show and accused of her of homophobia. The incident resulted from Clay Aiken’s stint as a guest-cohost of Live with Regis & Kelly. Unable to get a word in edgewise, Aiken jokingly covered Ripa’s mouth. She got so upset that she publicly trashed him for days, saying she didn’t know where his hands have been. Even though Aiken wasn’t yet out at the time, O’Donnell called to accuse Ripa of homophobia. To Ripa’s credit, she actually took the call and the two argued it out on the air.
Although I find Ripa’s garrulousness annoying, Aiken was probably wrong for acting so familiar. You simply can’t touch the mouth of someone you don’t know. But Ripa was also wrong for shaming Aiken publicly — ad nausem — culminaating in a recap upon Regis’ return. Most wrong of all was Rosie, who had no basis for calling Ripa a homophobe — especially since Aiken was not yet out. Ripa claimed that she was simply a mom afraid of germs and I believed her.

I always thought Andy was a bottom….oh well
martinbakman
His on air persona sounds like a frustrated single, but perhaps that is just a ruse to go with his on-the-road hijinks with Anderson Cooper, and all the other goofy shit he does on TV and radio. Not dissing him at all. He is super successful and clever at what he does.
If we are supposed to care about celebrity’s personal shit, then yes, I’m glad he has the companionship of a nice man.

It’s pathetic the way some gay publications co-opt outdated, sexist heteronormative terms like ‘off the market!’ It sounds like it’s straight from the 50s: “better get yourself a man while the supply lasts, girls!”

If taken in context, the opposite is true. Institutionalized partnerships — aka marriage — is new for gays. As such, a move toward monogamy is hardly outdated. Admittedly, marriage doesn’t equate monogamy, it does mean that you’re “off the market” since you can’t legally have more than one spouse. If you think that one-spouse marriage is “outdated, sexist [and] heteronormative,” then complain to the gay activists who fought for it. It sounds like you support the homophobes who claim that marriage is only for a man and woman, and gays should get their own type of unions, but not marriage. So separate but equal is okay for you?
Peter West
No woman today would tolerate the term ‘off the market’ with its tacit implication of ownership. I just hate it when gays adopt outdated, sexist, hetero-normative vocabulary from the 1950s! “Better get yourself a man while the supply lasts, girls!”

@TheBigOne: Unless your partner passed away from being old, then old does equal dead. Actually Andy can date any legal age he wants, he just shouldn’t profess his preference for dating guys his age and stop telling us what position her prefers. We just don’t need to know that much about Andy.

It’s hilarious how you presume to speak for ALL women. You do realize that there are still very traditional women, especially in the South, right? And you do realize that there are still many 60+ y/o women ALIVE who don’t share your linguistic view, right? Or are you saying that an 80 y/o woman doesn’t fit into the category, “woman today”? How sad that you claim to be against “-normative vocabulary,” yet is so ageist and culturo/geocentric. And guess what, even my 20-something progressive NYC girlfriend has no problem with the phrase. Nor do I in describing myself. Where you get your data is beyond me.
Your claim of sexism is also nonsensical because the term, “off the market” is also used by/for men. For example, I’ve heard both Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton described themselves as such in interviews. Is Stefani a “woman today”? Furthermore, it’s hardly a term imposed upon women since it’s often used by women to describe themselves. And guess what — I also often hear, “I’m taken,” which also implies ownership. Are you going to rant about that too?
The real question is why your “hate” should have any bearing on the rest of society. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Reminds me of a pro-gay billboard here in NYC, “IF YOU DON’T LIKE GAY MARRIAGE, DON’T GET GAY MARRIED. SIMPLE.”

Well, people are often attracted to things they lack. Wealthy, older men are drawn to youth and beauty, while young gorgeous men long for wealth and fame. They both know what they are doing. And they are getting what they want. None of our concern.

@DCguy: Hah … except that Clifton has a promising future outside the relationship. Indeed, that academic side of his life has no overlap with with Cohen (unlike two actors who marry, for example, where one may benefit from the fame of the other). My guess is that he’ll finish his PhD — with no help from Cohen — and find a job in his field. I liken it to Priscilla Chan’s marriage to Marc Zuckerberg. Despite the fame and financial security, she finished medical school, completed her residency last year and is practicing as a pediatrician. That’s a far cry from the 20 y/o opportunistic bimbos and himbos who have no identity outside their benefactors.

Hate to nitpick but Clifton is not a PhD student. He has a Sc.D. (Doctor in Science), which is equivalent to a PhD in the US, but considered more accomplished in some countries. Unlike a PhD, Sc.D. students often do more research but don’t teach. I believe Harvard only offers Sc.D’s in his field.
In addition, the braniac Clifton has a Masters in Environmental Health from Harvard, and a BS in Environmental Engineering from MIT (where he also minored in Mathematics!).
My guess is that he’ll soon become bored with the rather vapid Andy Cohen. I’ll be waiting… 🙂

I should also point out the irony of Andy Cohen being the Executive Producer of The Real Housewives franchise. Unlike his choice in braniac Clifton Dassuncao, that series features opportunistic bimbos whose identities depend on their wealthy husbands (hence the word, “Housewives” in the title). Despite the photos, I’m pretty sure Dassuncao doesn’t waste his days shopping, wining (whining) or dining. His typical meal at the lab is probably more like Chinese takeout. One does wonder, however, where he got the time to get that gym-honed body. 🙂

I’m still not getting what being a “total top” has to do with anything? Is that supposed to make the story all the more tragic? “Oh no we lost a total top!” BOO HOO! As if tops are somehow superior to bottoms? “Oh it was just a total bottom we lost. Big deal.” Stupid.
