Andy Cohen Kids: Son Benjamin and Daughter Lucy Details

Bravo host Andy Cohen is a family man! The proud dad’s life changed when he welcomed his son, Benjamin Allen Cohen, via surrogate in February 2019. He decided to expand his family once more with the arrival of his daughter, Lucy Eve Cohen, in April 2022.

After becoming a dad to Ben, Andy began documenting his experiences as a single dad on Instagram. The pair have made fans smile with their matching pajamas and Halloween costumes each year and adorable moments spent laughing and making memories that will last a lifetime.

At the 60th Clio Awards in September 2019, Andy revealed that he was not ruling out giving Ben a sibling.

“I mean it’s on my mind but it’s not a … nothing’s in the oven,” he told Closer at the time.

He continued to share the cutest bonding moments with his son online including hanging out with pal Anderson Cooper and his kids, Wyatt Morgan Cooper and Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. During a candid March 2021 interview with Access, Andy reflected on becoming a parent for the first time and how much his life changed for the better.

“The one bright, bright light of the pandemic for me has been Ben. I could honestly say that he saved my life,” he said. “I don’t know what I would have been doing for the last year. The time that I’ve gotten to spend with him.”

The Real Housewives producer shared that Ben became a big brother in a sweet Instagram post in April 2022.

“HERE’S LUCY!!!!! Meet my daughter, Lucy Eve Cohen! She’s 8 pounds, 13 [ounces], and was born at 5:13 pm in New York City!!!” Andy captioned the first photo with his daughter. “Her big brother can’t wait to meet her! Thank you to my rock star surrogate (ALL surrogates are rockstars, by the way) and everyone who helped make this miracle happen. I’m so happy.”

The following day, the Missouri native posted a heartwarming snap of Ben meeting his sister for the first time. He gave her a kiss on the cheek during the interaction, already adjusting to the role of big brother.

Benjamin Allen Cohen

Andy and Ben are two peas in a pod! Right from the start, the television personality embraced his role as a dad.

“He is named after my grandfather Ben Allen,” Andy wrote on Instagram along with a photo holding Ben as a newborn. “I’m in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I’m a dad. Wow.”

During a November 2021 interview with St. Louis’ KMOX radio station, Andy radiated nothing but happiness talking about his little one.

“He’s a cheerful, great kid. He makes it fun. I learn things every day,” he gushed. “I think also having a kid later in life is really fun, because you do sweat things, [but] I’m trying to be as laid back as I possibly can.”

The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host shared the most touching milestone with viewers during a March 2021 episode of the show.

“My favorite thing is he started to say, ‘I love you’ two nights ago,” he said. “That just is melting my heart.”

Andy has continued to let fans into his world as a dad, including the not-so-glamourous parts. In March 2023, the producer posted a video on his Instagram Story of his eldest child spilling a cup of milk in the kitchen of their New York City home. “What did you do, Buddy? How did you get the milk there?” Andy asked the tot as he adorably attempted to clean up the mess with a paper towel. “I spilled it,” Ben replied.

“You spilled it? Is this the way you want to start the day? Huh?” the TV personality said, which prompted several of his followers to message him about “shaming Ben for spilling milk.” The dad of two cleared up the confusion in another post.

“You know, the truth is, it was three hours into my day, I’m jetlagged. I probably was shaming him,” Andy confessed. “Walk a mile in my shoes, what can I tell you? I did it.”

Lucy Eve Cohen

After announcing Lucy’s arrival on social media in April 2022, Andy received supportive comments from some of his celebrity besties including Kelly Ripa, Hoda Kotb, John Mayer and Khloé Kardashian. Fans were delighted to see more precious photos of the father-daughter duo posted on Instagram just days after he was able to bring his youngest child home.

Instead of attending the Met Gala on May 2 with his usual date, Sarah Jessica Parker, the radio host stayed home with his daughter. On his Instagram Story, he shared a selfie in a hooded sweatshirt, holding Lucy, with the caption, “My 2022 Met Gala look.”
