Andy Cohen's New Love Goes Public: A Year-Long Romance Finally Surfaces

Sometimes the best relationships are the ones nobody sees coming—and the ones you keep private for as long as possible. That’s exactly what happened with Andy Cohen and businessman Kevin Sobieski, whose hand-holding moment outside Via Corota in New York City in June 2026 sent Bravo fans into a frenzy of speculation, excitement, and probably a few“I knew it!”reactions.

Here’s the thing: Cohen wasn’t hiding anything. He and Sobieski have been openly affectionate around town for months, but paparazzi photos have a way of making private moments feel suddenly tabloid-size. On SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, the Bravo host addressed the viral images with his typical blend of humor and honesty.“This fella and I have been holding hands all over town, you guys, so it’s wild that there were photographs taken the other night,”he said, noting they’d been openly together at restaurants and around the city.“People have said to me,‘You were at Via Corata. What did you expect?’I’ve been in that restaurant holding hands with him for the whole time.”

What makes this relationship particularly worth paying attention to isn’t just that Cohen—who’s historically kept his romantic life close to the vest—has found someone. It’s the deliberate, thoughtful way he’s building this partnership. Cohen and Sobieski met at a gay party in the Hamptons in July 2025, a night Cohen almost skipped entirely.“I almost didn’t go and I dragged myself out. I never get invited to gay parties in the Hamptons anymore,”he recalled. They talked all night, exchanged numbers, and took their time getting to know each other.“Slow and deliberate and methodical”is how Cohen described their approach—the opposite of the whirlwind-romance energy that dominates celebrity culture.

A year in, Cohen’s glowing about what they’ve built.“This man is kind and strong and smart and he is an adult and he loves my children and they love him and I love him,”he said, referencing his kids Benjamin and Lucy. The ease of integrating Sobieski into his family life clearly matters to him.“Introducing him to the kids and just entering him into the equation of my family so slowly, I have to say it has been so easy. We just view life the same way, and one year later, I still can’t believe I found him.”

This is Cohen’s most serious relationship since epidemiologist Clifton Dassuncao, whom he dated from 2013 to 2018. Before that, there was John Hill, a producer on Radio Andy, with whom Cohen was together from 2003 to 2005. Both exes have spoken warmly about their time with Cohen, pointing to natural life changes rather than drama as the reason things ended. With Sobieski, it feels different—like Cohen’s finally found someone who fits not just him, but the full, complicated picture of his life. And maybe the best part? He’s not keeping it a secret anymore.
