Andy Cohen opened up about how different his dating life now looks after recently becoming a father-of-two.

Appearing on SiriusXM’s Stern Show Summer School, the “Watch What Happens Live” host spoke to hosts Gary Dell’Abate and Rahsaan Rogers about what it was like trying to date while being a single dad.

Cohen welcomed his daughter, Lucy, in April, three years after welcoming his first child, son Benjamin, in February 2019.

Admitting that dating as a father of two young children is “emotionally chaotic,” Cohen said there’s understandably been a shift in priorities since becoming a dad.

“Dating is another story because you know, I haven’t, there are two kinds of people, people that you wanna date and people that you…” Andy trailed off as host Rogers chimed in saying, “People that you wanna bang.”

“Thank you. Thank you, Rahsaan,” Cohen joked, adding, “Okay. So the answer is the dating thing that, you know, I have had some dates.”

Cohen said dating became more “emotionally chaotic in my mind.”

Asked how he determines when it’s a good time for his date to meet his children, Cohen remembered a recent relationship in which his boyfriend actually met his son.

“You know what, actually, this is someone who had met my son. I was on a vacation with my son,” he said. “And I had met this guy when I was on vacation. And so he actually had met him.”

“I just vibed it out when the time felt right,” he added.

Cohen welcomed both of his children via surrogate — Benjamin in February 2019 and Lucy in April 2022.

Even though he used different surrogates, the TV personality recently revealed they are still “biological siblings.”
