Andy Cohen surprised everyone when he announced on Thursday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live! that he’s expecting his first child via surrogate in 2019.
“If all goes according to plan in about six weeks time I am going to become a father thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future,” Cohen said.
Most people have been over the moon for the 50-year-old dad-to-be, tweeting out mazel tovs, well wishes, and congratulations.
But not everyone wants to share in Andy’s joy.
Just like when people trashed Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black after they first announced the birth of their son earlier this year, bitter Twitter trolls have been coming for Cohen, too. And the things they’re saying are pretty awful.
I wonder if Andy Cohen is going to pimp out his new child like he does the women at Real Housewives. ?

@Andy it’s pretty fucked up you’re using a surrogate with your unlimited influence and resources when there are millions of helpless children world wide that would love a home. God forbid you don’t have a miniature version of yourself to play dress up with. #Bravo ?

Andy Cohen is 50 years old, which means he will be 69, geriatric, and on Social Security by the time his child is in high school. All you people who gave Kenya Moore crap for having a baby at 47 STAY THE FUCK OUT MY MENTIONS

What’s the politically correct way for me to say that Andy Cohen’s pregnancy grosses me out & feels immoral af? I’m trying not to alienate any more of you guys.

I didn't care when Andy Cohen announced he and Anderson Cooper got banged by the same guy, and I really don't care that he's having a baby and becoming a "daddy" through surrogacy or any other means. Really. How shallow is your world?

I hope he doesn't get the cocaine and baby formula mixed up. @kathygriffin

Can’t argue with the person irritated he doesn’t just adopt a child.
Catholicslutbox
Can’t imagine an adoption agency would offer one up to him. He probably wants one that looks…”similar” to him.
Bromancer7
Do you go around telling all your straight friends/family/coworkers that they should have adopted instead of getting pregnant? No? Then STFU.
dean089
Agreed, though I try not to get irritated with the individual but instead the system that allows tens of thousands of children to languish in the foster care system while making it very difficult for a variety of different people to adopt in the U.S.
djmcgamester
Right, because straight people never use surrogates when there’s an issue with conceiving a baby. People, time to get off your high horses.
Catholicslutbox
Anderson copper and this clown “engaged” with the same guy? Who? Hope it wasn’t Benjamin. He’s way too hot to be with that mess.
Hdtex
We can see why it wasn’t you. Ugly inside. Uglier outside…..

I always find these articles a bit odd , of course people have opinions on this and not all are going to be in agreement. It’s like the writer finds joy in pointing out the “ hatred and vitriol” out there. Writer should be thanking the “trolls” it gives them the opportunity to show how “just” and “virtuous” they are while sitting on their thrown of moral superiority!
Catholicslutbox
You get more clicks this way
Kangol
“Throne”?
Mr_Heffel
I understand giving him support for his soon to be bundle of joy, but at least make it a positive article. Screw the haters and we don’t need to hear all the hate. It’s getting old.
Kangol
I’m glad for him. He’s a multimillionaire gay man who wants a child of his own, and more specifically one he helped to conceive. He can afford a surrogate to bear the child, and once it’s born, to feed, house, and educate his child too. I don’t know about Cohen’s philanthropy, but I hope he does support organizations that aid children seeking adoption, and all organizations and programs that aid children who are less fortunate than his child will be.
iamru2
Get off your THROWN already dude!
dinard38
@iamru2 It’s spelled THRONE, not THROWN, dude!
Geez, if you’re going to criticize someone, at least do so with proper grammar.
Rock-N-RollHS
Good for him. It would have been nice if he adopted an at-risk kid, but it’s his life. And most ‘effin straight people narcissistically reproduce all the time and don’t adopt.
I’d be laughing at all the haters, their jealously and homophobia is so transparent.
Pete le meat
Andy Cohen is not widely liked mainly because of his trashy shows and dull personality.
Hdtex
So the same reasons YOU are widely disliked. Got it.
jpcolter
You don’t seem to understand “well liked” Andy is very well liked. Always has been.
Catholicslutbox
Andy is well liked by people that like those trashy tv shows and those that want to engage with a dlist celebuturd because he’s a celeb and not because they find him attractive.
Those are the facts America.
Hdtex
@Catholicslutbox You seem to have great difficulty distinguishing between “fact” and “opinion”. And that’s a fact.
Kieran
You mean there are lots of homophobes in the world? I’m shocked. SHOCKED!!
MaxTaste
Many congratulations. Surrogacy is a great option for those who choose it.
Herman75
Folks like Donald Trump and Bert Bacharach were way, way older when they had their last kid, so yeah.
I’m sure there were plenty of well wishes on Twitter. Too bad no click bait for the good vibes.
>>> www.g-letshave.fun <<<
Absolutely agree with you. But Christmas is coming. This is a great time of year to meet someone new. If you’re not in the right relationship or your current casual partner isn’t cutting it, nip it in the bud and send yourself to the right place. And i would like to recommend all of you one unique place to find what you exactly need. It is for gay singles only. Just look at my name /\/\/\. There are a lot of real gay “daddies” and frivolous gay singles looking for love and pleasure
JessPH
Another pointless article. Of course, there would always be people who have problems with surrogacy or gay people having kids. I don’t see the point of making an article about these Negative Nancys. Moreover, those tweets and posts barely got any likes or hearts so why even talk about them?! Ugh.
spacecadet
Agreed! Well said! I’m not an Andy Cohen fan but this is still newsworthy and nothing but support should be sent his way in regards to the well-being and raising of a child in this world.
dean089
It’s really sad how vile some people get over something that is none of their f*cking business. And I’m not talking about straighties who say vile things about gay people, I’m talking about gay people who say such things about other gay people. I realize the whole ‘gay community’ thing is a myth but can’t we at least try?
spacecadet
Queerty should update their commenting system so that I can like your post. I agree with it! Well said!
Blackceo
I really don’t like Andy Cohen, but good for him. He has the means to want to take this on at 50. The thought of having to start to raise a little one at that age would be daunting.
rray63
I’m not really a fan but if the man wants a child, has the means and the drive, what’s the issue? I don’t understand the gays that have a problem with this? The straights, well that’s a given for some of them. I have to agree with the gent that said the, “gay community” is a myth, it’s starting to look that way. We have more negative things to say about each other than I thought possible. Give it a rest folks, let’s at least try and support one another.
spacecadet
Great comment!
michaelmt1009
With all the hate and turmoil we have going on in this nation right now I don’t understand how there can be so many mean hateful people passing judgement on Andy for having a child. No one asked you to raise or support the child. why not take the high road and say congrats and best wishes.
GetOffMyInternets
I love how when you genuinely dislike someone who is a celebrity or a person, just plain old dislike..,that it’s automatically assumed you’re jealous,p and you get told so. Lame comeback.
Gouly Julie Annie
I find him unfunny and full of himself, but who’s to say he won’t be a great dad? The baby may bring out the best in him, and vice versa.
spacecadet
Well said!
Geeker
Maybe people just don’t like the idea of a truly horrible human being having and raising a child, just a thought.
talktalktalk
I think the hate is because people generally dislike him.
Jean-Luc_Richard
For me personally, I hate thinking about Andy Cohen being a dad because we all cry a silent tear of sadness when we think of Satan reproducing, or being in any way able to mold or shape young minds. If he wasn’t so dedicated and committed to being one of the world’s top 5 Worst People, day after day, I might cut him slack, but he is unyielding. Unlike his hole, he is able to keep a vise like grip on that.
For Dustin Lance Black’s decision to become a dad, my first thought was ‘why do you want two?” If that statement sounds as if I was being snarky regarding the 218 year age difference between him and his child bride, it is because I find the 218 year age difference between him and his child bride to be disgusting.
