Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper share everything from identical initials to similar professions, which makes it easy to see why the twosome are best friend goals.
Cohen and Cooper met in the early ’90s when they were almost set up on a blind date. However, the pair’s dynamic never became romantic because Cohen broke Cooper’s “cardinal rule” of dating — mentioning his socialite mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
Although the duo never went on a date, they forged a friendship that developed into an equally strong working relationship. Cohen and Cooper have hit the road together every year since 2016 for their conversational stage tour, “AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.” The pair have also cohosted CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live together since 2017.
The BFFs have been by each other’s side as they’ve both become parents. Cohen welcomed his son, Benjamin, via surrogate in February 2019. Cooper, for his part, announced the birth of his son, Wyatt, via surrogate in April 2020.
Cohen revealed via Instagram in May 2020 that he hopes their sons will “be best friends” when they get older — just like their dads. He and Cooper have since welcomed daughter Lucy and son Sebastian, respectively.
