On December 20, the beloved host of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen, made a major announcement to his audience and the world. He revealed that he’s expecting a baby via surrogacy. Now, sources are saying that not only is the 50-year-old thrilled to become a father, but he also kept this life-changing secret from even the Bravo network bosses until the very last moment. Can you imagine keeping something like that under wraps?
According to a source speaking to People, Andy’s close friends and staff at Watch What Happens Live had known about the baby for a few weeks. However, Andy made sure to keep the secret from a wider group, including some Bravo executives and even the Real Housewives who regularly appear on his show. That’s a bold move, right? But once the news was out, Andy could finally breathe easy. As the source added, “A smaller group went out to celebrate. Andy was telling people that he was ‘relieved’ the news was finally out there and just kept reiterating how excited he was for the future. ‘I can’t wait to meet my kid,’ he said repeatedly.”

The source went on to explain that Andy has always felt the urge to become a father and believed that now was the perfect time. “His parents are of a certain age, and he wants them to know his child,” the source revealed. Even though Andy doesn’t currently have a partner, that didn’t deter him from pursuing his dream of starting a family. “He said, ‘I know I’m single, but I haven’t met anyone and I want a family. I’m ready to do this,’” the source added.
Andy’s excitement about becoming a father is palpable, and according to the source, this baby has made him even happier than ever before. “I’ve never seen him smile like that,” the source said. “He was so, so happy. Everyone was showering him with congratulations and praise. When he was originally speaking, we thought he was resigning from the show, so we all were just so surprised and happy… He’s going to be an amazing dad. He’s so filled with love. He’s going to give this child a wonderful life.”
