If you are a viewer of Bravo’s late night interactive talk show Watch What Happens Live, you might recognize Andy Cohen as a first openly gay host of an American late-night talk show. The St.Louis, Missouri native was born on 2 June 1968 and follows the Jewish religion.
He is one of the prominent media personality with a net worth of $15 million. The Boston University graduate is an executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise and host of Andy Cohen live on SiriusXM channel 102.
Yes, you heard it right. One of the renowned openly gay New York Times best-selling author and radio show host, Andy Cohen is on the verge of becoming a father. He astonished the viewers of 'WWHL' on 20 December 2018 and announced that he is welcoming a baby via surrogate. During the final live broadcast of 2018 in the show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen , he stated:
He made the baby announcement after welcoming O.G. Real Housewives stars like Teresa Guidice ( her husband Joe Guidice is serving a prison sentence and is set to release in March 2019 ), NeNe Leaks ( married with Gregg Leakes ), Ramona Singer , Kyle Richards ( husband of Mauricio Umansky ), and Vicki Gunvalson.
Andy, age 50, became emotional after the big announcement and received a massive round of applause from the entire audiences. He addressed his viewers and stated that they have supported him for almost ten years night after night and has been an incredible journey with all of them.
It looks like the television producer is set to accomplish his dream of parenthood. Back in 2016, during his interview on the Allegedly podcast, he teased stating that 'being a father' was the only thing he hadn't accomplished in his life. At that time, when the hosts Theo Von and Matthew Cole Weiss asked him whether he wanted a baby boy or a baby girl, Andy simply replied that he wants a healthy baby.
At this moment, Andy has not uttered about the baby mama and the sex of his child and whether he has plans to raise his child as a single parent. However, in December 2018 episode of WWHL, the 50-year-old stated that he previously slept with the same guy as Anderson Cooper.
Andy is a former partner and friend of an openly gay American journalist, Anderson and the duo met on a blind date when Andy was at CBC and Anderson was a young reporter at ABC .
The American radio host Andy, who came out as a gay during the late 1980s, has never been married during his entire adult life. Hence, there is no news regarding his husband. However, he had a failed romance with his ex-boyfriend Benjamin Maisani, Anderson Cooper, and Clifton Dassuncao.
Before being single, Andy was dating with a doctoral student at the Harvard School of Public Health, Clifton Dassuncao . He and his ex-boyfriend Clifton's affair became public after they were seen publicly on the $150 million yachts of American businessman Barry Miller.
The estranged couple marked their relationship from 2016 to March 2018. They met back in March 2015 when Andy and his former love interest, Anderson Cooper, attended the opening night of the AC2 Tour in Boston.
