Bravo’s Andy Cohen just announced some good news — he’s a dad!
Towards the end of 2018, the TV host had shared that he was expecting a baby via surrogate, and the tiny human finally arrived yesterday.
Cohen took to Instagram to let everyone know it was time to celebrate.
“WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen,” he wrote. “He is named after my grandfather Ben Allen. I’m in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I’m a dad. Wow.”
Cohen is clearly still stunned from the experience, but he’s previously said that he’s been waiting for this moment for a long time, so it’s no surprise.
“I overshare and I expect everyone around me to do the same and tonight I want you to be the first to know that after many years of careful deliberation, fair amount of prayers and the benefit of science, if all goes according to plan, in about six weeks time, I’m going to become a father thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future,” he told the audience on his show, Watch What Happens Live, in December.
WWHL was moved to Los Angeles last month so he could be with his surrogate and prepare for the birth of the baby. No word yet on when the new dad and his son will head back home, but we wish them all the best!
