Andy Cohen is a proud father of two!

The Watch What Happens Live host welcomed his firstborn, a son named Benjamin Allen, in 2019, followed by daughter Lucy Eve in 2022. Both kids arrived via surrogate.

“When I was growing up and when we were growing up … I just never thought it would be possible as a gay man to grow up and have a family,” Cohen revealed while hosting CNN’s live New Year’s Eve show with Anderson Cooper in 2018. “And here we are in 2018, almost [2019], and anything’s possible.”

Cohen also reminded viewers that the journey to parenthood looks different for everyone, adding, "By the way, by the time it became possible, I was kind of having too much fun in my life to say, ‘I don’t think I can do this right now.’ But here I am, I turned 50 this year. It takes some people longer to get to that place. And it took me that time.”

From matching ensembles to dates at the park, here are the most adorable pictures of Cohen and his kids.

Baby Ben Turns 1

One year later, the famed talk show host was still in awe of his little boy.

"One year ago tonight, I sat alone in a hospital room with my newborn son pondering our future," he wrote under this sweet pic celebrating the tot's 1st birthday.

"I didn’t know then how his smile would brighten my day, what simple joy each new progression of his growth would bring, and most of all what a lovely boy he would become. I am so grateful to my surrogate in California who made this all possible, and for every day of our first year... and can’t wait for the next. Happy Birthday sweet little Ben."
