Andy Cohen is an openly gay man and an activist. He is often cited as the first openly gay host of a late-night show in America. Cohen rejected a gig to co-host Russia’s Miss Universe pageant in because of the country’s anti-gay laws. In , the talk show host appeared as a guest judge on an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
No, Andy Cohen does not have a husband. But he’s been open about having a wedding and his dating life. “Not only do I love love, but how fun would my wedding be?” Cohen said in an interview.
In February, Cohen made waves—and uplifted an underrepresented LGBTQ minority—when he welcomed his first child, a baby boy named Benjamin Allen, via surrogate, later introducing him to the world in a very Andy sort of way: on the cover of People.
Cohen has his own show and pop culture channel on SiriusXM Radio, Andy Cohen Live. In , he became the first-ever openly gay host of a late-night talk show when Watch What Happens Live premiered on the Bravo network.
