I'm sorry you feel that way. But doesnt it give you some pause? This is a happy version of handmaid tale where women are paid to be an egg and uterus. Babies need mothers and you are creating babies without their mothers!

Dont compare situations where mom has died or is a crappy mother.


Babies need parents. Mazel to PPs friends for becoming fathers. Is it suddenly not handmaid tale-esque when its a hetero couple using a surrogate? Is that all well and good?

Why am I feeding this anyway?!

Definitely think he saw how happy Andy was with his son.


How could anyone doubt that Andy Cohen's happiness infected Anderson Cooper. Look at them:



Anderson definitely wanted in on that. And you can bet that they'll be extended family to each other and the boys will be growing up together.


I’m really happy for Anderson, and I absolutely LOVE that the baby in the picture is giving him the side eye! So funny! (In an adorable, kids are hilarious, way - I have no doubt that Anderson will be a wonderful dad!)


"Daddy, um daddy- I think your friend is going to try to steal me. Just saying, check his bag before he leaves "

Baby fever is real, man.

More like you can only use one male donor... Anderson said it was going to be his stern, period.

Isn’t he a bit old to become a father? Why is it creepy and gross for every other man his age to become a father but sooo beautiful and gorgeous for a rich celeb like him?

I agree. I think it is great he had a kid. I wish he had done it ten years ago. He will be 70 when the child finishes high school. I guess he has the money to hire people who can do all the things a younger parent would.

It really is. But happy for Anderson. And Wyatt is a lucky kid! What a great life he’ll have.

I just hate the name Wyatt. I don't care that it was his dad's name. My grandmother's name is Edna and I am SO appreciative to my parents that when they named me after her, they didn't name me EDNA. Some names should really die when the person does.

I wish Andy and Anderson would move in together and there could be a reality show about it.


Yes people name their babies names that some other people don't like sometimes. Thank you for the breaking news.

Probably a 20-something who just made $500k.


He mentioned that the surrogate has a family and several children and her husband was very supportive.

There was an egg donor. The surrogate carried the baby.
