Andy Cohen, host and executive producer of Bravo's late-night chat show Watch What Happens Live and executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise, announced late Monday that he's just become a new dad. “WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen,” he wrote Monday night on Instagram. “He is 9 lbs 2 ounces! !20 inches!! Born at 6:35 pm, PT. He is named after my grandfather Ben Allen. I’m in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I’m a dad. Wow.” Cohen first went public with the news of the upcoming birth late last year in front of several 'OG' Real Housewives. “After many years of careful deliberation, a fair amount of prayers and the benefit of science, if all goes according to plan in about six weeks time I am going to become a father thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future,” he said at the time.
