Andy Cohen’s one-year-old son has reacted in the sweetest way possible to a lifelike doll of his father.

OMG. Thanks for the doll @cyguy83! I’m so glad Ben still recognizes me in a suit
When the Watch What Happens Live… show host presented the figure to his son, the toddler took a moment before kissing it. His gay papa was touched by the response, saying “I’m so flattered he kissed me!”. Cohen posted the exchange to his Instagram, with a caption saying, “I’m so glad Ben still recognizes me in a suit.”
Cohen, 52, has been hosting his shows in lockdown from his NYC apartment since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing him to dress more casually than usual.

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.
Benjamin, his first child, was born via a surrogate, in February 2019.
The doll was handcrafted by acclaimed doll designer Cyguy (@Cyguy83). Three years ago, Cyguy told Italian Vogue how he’d discovered his love for creating dolls.
“My mother has always been an amazing artist, she taught me from a very young age to sketch with charcoal and pencils, to paint with watercolors, and to sculpt with clay. Somehow I never was able to translate this artistic drive into something that I was passionate about.
“One day, Many years ago, I decided to repaint a doll as Audrey Hepburn from the classic film, “Sabrina”. To my surprise, the doll sold for almost one thousand dollars, and I discovered that I truly loved this art form.”

Children should not be used for PR
Using your child to promote yourself is an abomination
badpappy
Well damn, there goes Lucy’s little Ricky, Family Peter Fonda shouldn’t have used Bridge in Easy Rider, Ryan Oneal should have used Tatum and the list goes on, and on, and on.
But you probably think its ok to use kids in commercials, just not your own.

I AGREE WITH JIM! USING YOUR SON TO PROMOTE YOUR DOLL IS WRONG! WAIT UNTIL HE GETS OLDER THEN YOU BETTER HIDE THAT DOLL! LOL

Wow, didn’t take Cohen long to start whoring out his kid for P.R.
Hey Queerty, how about, instead of constant fluff about Cohen, an article about how when the founder of Dolce and Gabbana said LGBT people shouldn’t be allowed to adopt, and the company was being boycotted for their anti-LGBTQ stance, Cohen went to the Met Gala in an entire D&G outfit, and when he was asked why on the Stern Show he gave that B.S. Hollywood answer of “Oh, I had a private conversation with them” yeah, a private conversation where he was asked to sell us out for a free outfit.
Also, when the owner of Equinox and Soul Cycle hosted a Trump fundraiser and his company got boycotted by LGBT groups and our allies, Cohen put out a statement against the boycott.
He seems to actively work against our community, so maybe put some of that into these fluff articles.

Do we really need ANOTHER brainless, plastic version of Andy Cohen?
wiredpup
“Lifelike” ?
Yes, both are made of plastic, hollow inside, small and totally useless and unnecessary.
Mister P
Does anyone really want that doll?
graphicjack
if the doll is going to be realistic, it needs his wonky eye. Yes, I know that’s a tasteless comment, but since Cohen gave us the housewives and his vapid, trashy talk show, I feel it’s only sinking to his own level.

Beautiful child exploited by smarmy vapid POS!
