Back in March, Cohen addressed the rumors of a possible reality show.
The duo who are most known for their hit New Year's Eve special, have been good friends for quite a while. The pair have shared a lot of excellent times, enjoyed tours, hangouts, and even became dads at almost the same time.
They first met in the early 90s via a mutual friend who had set up a blind date. In an interview, Cooper revealed that Cohen had broken his cardinal rule, which is being asked about one's mother within the first minute of a conversation.

Although their date didn't work out, they were able to secure a close friendship over the years. The two have shared treasurable memories together, helping through ups and downs, and even supported each other professionally.
In February 2019, Cohen welcomed his first child Benjamin through surrogacy, and the following year Cooper also announced the birth of his son Wyatt via surrogacy. Cohen once revealed that he wished for their sons to be best friends like them.
Back in March, Cohen addressed the rumors of a possible reality show. For a while, there has been news circulating that the friends would star in a reality show that will look into their lives as new dads.
Speaking to ET Online, Cohen opined that the world doesn't need a show that gives a closer view of their personal lives. The TV host clearly stated that the speculations were not true.
