Let’s talk about one of the most touching moments in recent pop culture. While Andy Cohen was going through a tough battle with the coronavirus, all he could think about was getting back to his little bundle of joy, Ben. Now, Andy, the ever-popular TV host, has opened up about the magical moment he finally reunited with his 13-month-old son after nearly two weeks of self-isolation during the height of the pandemic.
Reconnecting With Little Ben: A Sweet Moment for Andy Cohen
So, here’s the scoop: Andy Cohen, the 51-year-old Bravo guru, couldn’t contain his excitement during a candid chat with his pal John Mayer on the Tuesday, March 31 episode of his SiriusXM show, "Radio Andy." Andy said, “The reunion yesterday was absolutely sweet. I raced in there right after the show.” Now, picture this: Andy opens the door leading down the hallway, a signal to little Ben that his daddy is coming. Typically, Ben gets all excited at the sound of that door opening. But this time? It was something else entirely.
First Encounter: The Moment That Mattered Most
Andy Cohen told the "Your Body Is a Wonderland" singer, John Mayer, that the second he peeked his "head around the corner," there stood little Ben with those big, wide eyes. He said, “Teresa, my superhuman baby nurse, she’s like, ‘Who’s that? Is that your daddy?’” Andy continued, describing Ben’s reaction, “He looked over and his mouth, it was just wide-open with delight … is how I would describe it.”

The Reality of Their Reunion
Now, let’s not get too cinematic here. Andy admitted that although Ben was “definitely delighted,” it wasn’t like a movie reunion where he came running over. Andy joked, “I didn’t overdo it either, because I didn’t wanna.” But then he paused and said, “But I was like, ‘Ahhh.’ … I guess I did actually,” because he picked Ben up and started throwing him in the air. Classic Andy, right?
Back to Normal: Building Towers and Knocking Them Down
As soon as Andy put Ben down, the two were back to their usual antics. They immediately started playing together. Andy recounted, “I started building a block tower and he was knocking it over.” For Andy, the best part was knowing that Ben didn’t realize how long he had been gone. He added, “He’s been in his bubble and he’s doing his thing and Teresa has kept him on his schedule and very happy and healthy.” Andy gushed, “So we had a really nice day yesterday. I got to spend a lot of time with him.”
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words
Besides sharing all the heartwarming details of their reunion, Andy also posted a super cute photo with his little bundle of joy when he finally returned home on March 30. In the caption, Andy marveled, “I’ve hosted reunions for years, but yesterday’s was the best one yet.”
It’s great to see Andy back to his old self, full of life and love for his family. We’re rooting for him and his little family!
