Andy Cohen is not usually the guy who describes anything as calm, but here we are. On Carlos King’s podcast, the Watch What Happens Live host opened up about his relationship with boyfriend Kevin Sobieski, calling it a“really adult grown-a** love.”He added,“It’s very centered, it’s very calm and I’m very sure of it.”Cohen, 58, first went public on his Radio Andy show in June after nearly a year of dating, saying he wanted to be transparent with listeners.
The family side of the story is where it gets genuinely sweet. Cohen’s kids, Ben and Lucy, spent time with Sobieski and fell in love with him before they ever knew he was their dad’s boyfriend. Cohen waited eight months to tell them. Ben, who had asked his dad for years why he didn’t have a boyfriend, gave a reaction Cohen said was everything he could have hoped for.
Cohen’s willingness to share the happy stuff on his own show is part of what makes listeners feel like they’re in it with him, from single parenthood to dating in the public eye. He said it simply:“I’m really happy and I want to share that with people.”What’s your rule for introducing a new partner to your kids? Tell us in the comments.
