Andy Cohen is more than happy to say that he’s in love with his boyfriend, Kevin Sobieski.
“It’s a really adult grown-a** love of a man with two kids, who I know myself better than I’ve ever known myself,” Cohen, 58, said on the Tuesday, October 20, episode of Carlos King’s eponymous podcast. “I’m more settled than I’ve ever been in my life and where I’m at and where I want to be, which is right where I am. It’s very centered, it’s very calm and I’m very sure of it.”
Cohen, who welcomed son Ben and daughter Lucy via surrogate in 2019 and 2022, announced in June that he had been dating Sobieski for nearly an entire year.
“We had been holding hands for a year all over the West Village, and nobody really [said anything],” he said of taking his romance public. “I mean, we literally sit in restaurants holding hands, and nobody said anything. … I would have said something eventually because I do demand a certain level of transparency to the people who are in the chair across from me.
Cohen continued, “I was saying to him around that time, ‘At some point soon I’m going to have to let the cat out of the bag because I’m really happy and I want to share that with people.’ Also, it just seems a little hypocritical not to speak on it when I kind of demand it of others, and I also speak so much on the radio … talking a lot about myself and my kids and everything else. It just seemed natural that that would happen.”
Cohen first disclosed his relationship with Sobieski on an episode of his Radio Andy show, noting that Ben and Lucy approve of the businessman.
“They really love him, and we didn’t tell them until eight months into dating that he was my boyfriend,” Cohen recalled on Tuesday’s episode. “I really let them fall in love with him, and they did before I ever said anything.”
Eventually, Cohen confided in Ben that Sobieski was actually the Watch What Happens Live host’s boyfriend.
“He’s like, ‘Oh, Daddy.’ He goes, ‘Lucy and I just love him so much, and you love him and you’ve wanted a boyfriend and now you have one,’” he noted of his son. “It was so sweet, and it was everything I would have wanted it to be. It’s so funny because for the last few years, [Ben] would say to me, ‘Daddy, why don’t you have a boyfriend?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I haven’t met the right guy.’”
