We hope you're sitting down for this big news as Andy Cohen's son, Ben Cohen, just marked a major milestone: He's officially started kindergarten. And, yes, you can bet that Andy is deep in his feelings about his kid's big week. One day after he shared that Ben was officially in school, he opened up to The Daily Dish about the big moment for his family.
"So far so good," the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host told The Daily Dish, via email, in an exclusive statement on September 6. "He didn’t cry and neither did I! I’m emotional though!”
The update comes after earlier this week, on September 5, Andy posted a look at Ben's first day of kindergarten, sharing a photo of his desk and a "welcome" sign, alongside happy-crying emojis.
Andy Cohen Celebrates Ben Cohen's 5th Birthday
When Ben turned 5 back in February 2024, Andy opened up about his son during an episode of WWHL, noting that his eldest child "couldn't make me happier." He then went on to on to count down the top five things he's learned about being a father since he welcomed little Ben into his life during the "Watch What Happens Five" segment.
The No. 5 lesson? "Breakfast food is a very loose concept," he said. "Turns out it's just about putting something in your stomach."
"No. 4 is learning Elsa is completely overrated. Anna is the star of Frozen. That's Ben Cohen." He continued that "Hot Wheels race tracks are next to impossible to keep fastened, knowing that is my No. 3. Don't get me started."
What made the list at No. 2? "You can have many Halloween costumes."
"And the No. 1 thing Ben taught me this year, and every year, is that you can find joy in just about anything," he said. "Happy birthday, buddy, I love you."
Andy Cohen opens up about his daughter, Lucy
In the years since he welcomed Ben back in 2019, Andy has become a dad again when his daughter and Ben's little sister, Lucy Eve Cohen, was born in May 2022. While Ben is now a busy elementary school student, just a couple weeks ago Andy revealed that Lucy has been busy "running the show" at home with her dad and brother.
Andy once again reflected on fatherhood on Lucy's most recent birthday, writing on Instagram, "It is so exciting getting to know my daughter; she’s a smart, funny sweetheart who surprises me every day. And the female energy Lucy is shining all over this house is welcome and needed! It’s getting really fun over here! Marking time through the filter of my children’s growth is blowing my mind at this later stage of my life. Everything feels on double-time but it’s also, as [Hoda Kotb] says, right on time."
