People Editorial Guidelines Published on January 26, 2019 05:38PM EST When it comes to Real Housewives reunions, this one takes the cake — and it’s all thanks to Andy Cohen‘s baby-to-be. On Saturday, the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host was surrounded by Bravo’s biggest names and his close friend John Mayer at an extravagant baby shower. The exciting bash took place at The Palm Beverly Hills, where Cohen’s BFF (and Radio Andy personality) Bruce Bozzi, Jr. serves as executive vice president. Guests sat at a long singular dinner table with gold flatware, long-stem candles and white and blue flowers as bundles of white balloons hung from the ceiling. “I’m speechless. Every Housewife, featuring @JohnMayer,” Cohen, 50, wrote of a group shot showing all the housewives in attendance, plus the singer-songwriter. A wall of white flowers with a giant blue star made out of hydrangeas served as the perfect backdrop for guests to take photos. Hanging above was a large gold sign reading “A Star Is Born” — the day’s theme, which was repeated on Cohen’s three-tier gold and white cake. For the menu, guests enjoyed Chinese chicken and lobster cobb salads, salmon with mango salsa, filet mignon, chicken paillard, grilled asparagus, fried potatoes, spinach and grilled polenta cakes. Topping it all off was a trio of desserts: key lime pie, crème brûlée and chocolate chip cookies. Fittingly, Cohen wore a baby blue suit.

We share so much of our lives with Andy and I was so touched when he shared this exciting news with us. I’m so happy to be able to be a part of this exciting time in his life.” Andy Cohen’s baby shower. Teresa Giudice/Instagram Andy Cohen’s baby shower.

Charles Sykes/Bravo Cohen has been in Los Angeles since Jan. 14, having moved WWHL out west for a quick babymoon before his son’s February arrival. The show planned to air episodes from there for three weeks. “Moving the Clubhouse to L.A. is a win all the way around,” Cohen told PEOPLE in a statement earlier this month. “There will be great guests, great energy and I can make a 9 p.m. dinner reservation after we get off the air!” Sarah Jessica Parker Says Dad-to-Be Andy Cohen Has Been ‘Waiting Forever to Be Called Papa’ Since making his announcement, Cohen has been showered with love from his fellow Real Housewives stars. Their supportive sentiments were carried over by best friends, like Sarah Jessica Parker — who spoke to PEOPLE exclusively. “I am overcome with joy and join Andy’s friends and family as we anticipate the safe arrival of the already much-loved baby Cohen,” Parker, 53, previously told PEOPLE. “Andy will be a wonderful father and has been waiting forever to be called Papa.” “I can’t wait to meet and know his child and offer any help or guidance I can offer the new daddy,” she added. “This has been a hard secret to keep and I was so thrilled to hear him share his very happy news last night. Now we are just counting the days.” Andy Cohen. Dave Kotinsky/Getty Cohen, meanwhile, is also excited. “I cannot wait to meet this boy … I’m so excited and I think about nothing else,” Cohen told pal Anderson Cooper while co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve show. “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. And here we are in 2018, almost [2019], and anything’s possible. And I’m so grateful to a wonderful surrogate that I’m working with.” He added, “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.” Cohen also said on CNN that he is “getting the gear” in preparation for his little one’s arrival. “Everyone’s given me wonderful advice. I have a lot of great women in my life.”
