Is Andy Cohen in a Relationship? A Look into His Private Life
Fifty-four-year-old Andy Cohen is most well-known as the host of his talk show. But what happens when he steps off stage? Let's dive deeper into Cohen's dating history, rumors of a budding romance, and what it's like dating as a parent.
Recently, on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," the talk show host made a blunder when he revealed one of his guest's personal information.
Cohen, actress Kyle Richards, and "Saturday Night Live's" Chloe Fineman were all enjoying themselves. Then, in front of a live audience and on camera, the host mistakenly asked Richards about her breast reduction.

The actress sarcastically thanked him for letting everyone know as he put both hands to his face in shock and apologized profusely.
However, Richards took it in her stride as the audience laughed along with the comical moment. Cohen himself relaxed, but it was clear that he was genuinely apologetic.
IS ANDY COHEN IN A RELATIONSHIP?
While not hosting his show, Cohen tends to his two children. But, while these kids fill him with familial love, he is currently single and devoid of romantic love.
Cohen and his ex-boyfriend John Hill reportedly went their separate ways in 2020. However, despite the breakup, the two remain friends.
Their friendship is so strong that they can jokingly insult each other in public, and both take it in their stride. This level of banter was proven true when Hill began roasting his ex-boyfriend on stage at the acclaimed restaurant Feinstein's/54 Below. He quipped:
“He’s old enough to have partied at 54, while this is my first time in the iconic club.”
Cohen was reportedly in stitches while listening to the jokes, joining his ex-boyfriend on the stage at some point to participate in a friendly back and forth.
HAVE ANDY COHEN AND ANDERSON COOPER EVER DATED?
There are always questions surrounding Cohen and his close friend and broadcaster Anderson Cooper. But the two have insisted that their relationship is purely platonic, and their friendship has lasted over two decades.
They were almost romantically involved only when a mutual friend set them up on a blind date. Cooper stated that Cohen had broken his golden rule only minutes into the date -- bringing up his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
Both realized they were not romantically fit for one another but forged a friendship where they now support one another personally and professionally.
The two have taken part in projects together. One of these includes going on their yearly conversational stage tour, "AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen."
These best friends also spend time vacationing together, going on adventures, and setting up playdates with each other's children.
ABOUT ANDY COHEN'S KIDS
Cohen has a girl and a boy: His daughter Lucy is under a year old, while his older son Benjamin is around 3 years old. Speaking about dating now that he has children, the television host stated:
"Now there's an endgame. Are you going to be a good stepfather? It's changed everything."
Both of his children are born via surrogacy, which he sternly supports. When Lucy was born, he shared a selfie with her on Instagram, referring to surrogates as "rockstars."
