Watch: New Daddy Andy Cohen Reveals First Look at Newborn Son
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Andy Cohen is on the cover of People magazine's newest issue, revealing the first picture of his newborn son.
The Bravo personality introduced fans to Benjamin Allen Cohen after announcing in December that he was going to be a father. In the People magazine story, Cohen talked about witnessing the birth of his son.
"I was in the delivery room. I had been hoping that he would have a full head of hair, and he really overdelivered," he told People. "That was the first thing you see, the head of hair coming out. And I was amazed."
Cohen also opened up about using a surrogate.
"I worked with an incredible surrogate," he explained. "She was in California. Surrogacy is illegal in so many states, including New York.
"I don't understand why. It's a voluntary process, obviously. My surrogate just viewed it as she was giving me the ultimate gift. She gave me life," he said. "So I'll be forever indebted to her."
Cohen posted the cover on his Instagram and wrote that he grew up reading People magazine "cover to cover, at a time when being gay meant there was no way to have a family."
"Now I'm honored to be featured on the magazine's cover," he added."
