Brad Goreski commented: “How wonderful Andy! Congrats!”
Bruce Bozzi wrote: “Welcome Lucy Eve!!!”
Craig Conover, from Southern Charm, chimed in: “Andy!! You sure know how to fill everyone’s hearts up with love don’t you.”
Fans, of course, had kind words for Andy as well as one wrote, “Mazel tov!”
BABY BFFS
Andy’s new addition comes months after friend Anderson Cooper welcomed a second child of his own via surrogate.
During a February episode of Anderson Cooper 360, the news anchor revealed that he had another baby.
His second child was another son, born two years after his eldest child Wyatt.
He named the baby Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper.
Anderson revealed on his CNN show: “He mostly just sleeps, and eats, and he certainly poops.”
He praised his second child as a “wise and thoughtful little chap.”
Anderson is raising both his sons with former partner Benjamin Maisani.
“We’re co-parents. We are a family,” he said.
According to the TV personality, Wyatt calls him “daddy” and Benjamin “papa.”
The new baby will likely follow suit.
BIG BROTHER
Meanwhile, Andy welcomed his first child via surrogate in 2019.
He announced the baby’s arrival in a similar fashion, sharing a photo of himself holding the newborn baby with a heartfelt caption.
“WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen,” he wrote at the time.
Andy went on: “He is 9 lbs 2 ounces !! 20 inches !! Born at 6:35 pm, PT.
“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.”
He announced the pregnancy months earlier, in a December 2018 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

The Missouri native said on the show: “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 went on: “Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something I’ve wanted in my heart for my entire life and though it has taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be the most rewarding chapter yet.”
