Andy Cohen shares hilarious video of him negotiating breakfast with his son
Andy Cohen tests his negotiation skills when it comes to dealing with his toddler.
“Ben, why are you eating a cupcake for breakfast?” Cohen, 55, started in his Instagram video on Saturday, Jan. 13, to which his son Ben, 4, replied, “They're just so yummy.”
“Should you eat that cupcake now, Ben?” Cohen asked, as Ben was heard saying “No” in the background. “You came here and bought it all yourself?” Cohen asked.
When the Watch what's happening live The host said he could make his son a “real” breakfast and asked what he wanted. Ben replied that he wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Cohen closed his eyes in defeat.
“Is that breakfast, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?” Cohen asked, to which Ben confirmed his command and said, “I could hug my dad so much because I love him so much.”
As the toddler's arms were visible around Cohen's neck, Cohen whispered, “He knows what he's doing.” He captioned his post: “We return to the age-old question: what is breakfast anyway???”
Cohen welcomed son Ben via surrogate in February 2019. “WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen. He weighs 9 pounds and 2 ounces!! 20 inches!!” Cohen wrote via Instagram at the time with a photo of himself holding his son. “Born at 6:35 PM, PT. He was named after my grandfather Ben Allen. I'm in love. And speechless. And forever grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I'm a father. Wow.”
In addition to Ben, Cohen is father to daughter Lucy, 20 months, whom he welcomed via surrogate in April 2022. “Meet my daughter, Lucy Eve Cohen! She weighs 8 pounds and was born at 5:13 pm in New York City!!!” he wrote via Instagram. “Her big brother can't wait to meet her! Thank you to my rock star surrogate (ALL surrogates are rock stars btw) and everyone who helped make this miracle happen. I'm so happy.”
Since achieving fatherhood, Cohen has shared hilarious moments with his two children over the years. Earlier this month, he wrote about Ben's adorable plane announcement via Threads.
“On a plane with the kids and Ben just announced, 'Meet my dad, Andy Cohen,'” he wrote.
In December 2023, he shared a clip of Ben performing gibberish songs during a car ride. “Okay, we got it. We understand,” Cohen told Ben via Instagram Story at the time. “It's a long drive, okay?”
Even though Cohen tried to close the show, Ben started with another song. “My life, my life,” Cohen sighed at the end of the video.
