Andy Cohen got emotional during a live radio broadcast while talking about his son.
During Monday's episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, the Bravo star shared the sweet moment following his spring break trip to Disney World with longtime friend Anderson Cooper.
Newsweek reached out to Cohen's representative via email for comment.
The Context
Cohen has two kids, son Benjamin Allen Cohen, 6, and daughter Lucy Eve Cohen, 2. His children were born via different surrogates, but the television personality previously said that they are "biological siblings."
The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host is not in a public relationship but said on a January 2024 episode of the show that he would like to meet someone. "I'm single and ready to mingle, absolutely," he said on WWHL.
In an interview with TODAY in May 2023, Cohen spoke out about raising a family on his own.
"I want to be everything for them," he said of his kids. "As a single parent, there is the feeling of, 'I need to be there,' and I'm always kicking myself for time not spent with them and trying to dissect what it all means and seeking out parent friends for advice."
"But I wouldn't change it for the world, by the way," Cohen shared.

What To Know
On Monday's episode of Andy Cohen Live, Cohen said he was at the park with his kids when he noticed a teenager.
"I go, 'That's gonna be you,'" the 56-year-old recalled telling his son. "You're doing to be like, 'Dad, I don't want to hang out with you,'" he said.
Instead, however, Cohen added, "And he goes, 'No, no, I'm not going to do that.' And he goes, 'You know, Daddy, when I'm 60'—I'm going to cry—he goes, 'I wanna take a pill so I can come back and be little like this so I can just be with you.'"
Cohen added that the two "had the longest hug" afterward.
"Anyway, hate to end the show in tears, but we had such a deep—we had a long hug on the playground when he was, you know, thinking about that."
What People Are Saying
A clip of the episode was shared to the Radio Andy Instagram on Wednesday, and people quickly flooded the comments.
