Andy Cohen and his newborn son, Benjamin Allen, were photographed exclusively for People Magazine for this week’ issue. Cohen opens up to Editorial Director Jess Cagle about becoming a dad and the moment he first met his baby boy, who was born Feb. 4 via surrogate.
Said Cohen: “I was in the delivery room. I had been hoping that he would have a full head of hair, and he really overdelivered,” jokes Bravo TV host. “That was the first thing you see, the head of hair coming out. And I was amazed.” Cohen also mentioned he cut the umbilical cord himself, and when doctors cleaned Benjamin off and brought him over to the new dad, he went skin-to-skin with his newborn for the first time.
Cohen recalls: “he was so alert for the first two hours. His eyes were wide open. He didn’t cry; he was just calm. I kind of have no words for it.”
