Andy Cohen is one of the most important figures in reality TV despite not being a reality star himself. However, one of his most cherished roles is being a father.

As fans know, the Watch What Happens Live host now has two children. Fans have gotten to know them through social media for some time now, but this might be changing soon as Andy begins to become more conscious of what they may want in the future. 

Andy welcomed his first child, Ben, via a surrogate in 2019. Now, as of 2022, he also has a daughter named Lucy. Unless he’s hiding a secret relationship, Andy is a single father. 

In an interview with Today, Andy recently said, “The last time I showed Ben’s face was when I got my star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.” This was in February 2022, and Ben is now four years old. 

He also said that he is leaning towards no longer showing Lucy’s face. According to him, “I just feel funny about it. People need to understand that my kids are not me, and they didn’t sign up for this. I’m figuring it out as I go.”

Andy also said that his mother has been voicing her opposition to him showing their faces on social media. He said, “She’s really like, ‘You have to stop. … ‘OK, you can’t show Ben anymore. When are you going to stop showing Lucy?” 

He also revealed that the love of his children helps him ignore hate and negativity on social media. About their impact, Andy had this to say, “If I go on Twitter at any given moment, it’s a battlefield about politics, or people telling me that I messed up a show completely, or that I’m this, that, or the other. But … I don’t give a f–k what anyone’s saying about me on Twitter. “

Andy continued, “Today … I was like, ‘Ben, I love you.” According to Andy, Ben then said, “However many stars there are in the sky is how much I love you.”

Andy continued, “And I’m set. … This little boy loves me for as many stars as there are? The rest doesn’t really matter!”
