Andy Cohen recently shared an amusing Father’s Day experience with his eldest child, Ben, after spending the evening with singer John Mayer. The Bravo host recounted the events during his Andy Cohen Live radio show, revealing that while he celebrated the day with his kids, the final moments took an unexpected turn.
Cohen explained that although they enjoyed a full day of festivities, Ben was not pleased with his dad’s decision to go out for dinner at bedtime. In his humorous retelling, he noted that Ben was so upset he withdrew a handmade Father’s Day card that he had given Cohen earlier. “He revoked my Father’s Day card, which he had made for me,” Cohen recounts, exemplifying the affectionate bond with his son.
Though initially grumpy, Ben’s mood lifted when Mayer arrived. Cohen remarked that the singer was able to charm his son, engaging him with music and smiles. “John melted him. John was singing to him. Ben was sitting there smiling. I was like, ‘Oh, okay. All is good,’” he shared.
Cohen has expressed his love for fatherhood many times, detailing treasured moments from previous Father’s Day celebrations. Last year, he humorously mentioned the gift of a few extra minutes of sleep, thanking his son for letting him rest until 7:05 a.m. He also shared a delightful moment where Ben gave him colorful handmade bracelets for the occasion.
The proud father of two, who welcomed Ben in February 2019 and daughter Lucy in April 2022 via surrogacy, continues to celebrate the special milestones in his children’s lives. Recently, he documented Lucy’s third birthday, showcasing their playful and loving dynamics.
This light-hearted Father’s Day story serves as a reminder of the joys and challenges of parenthood. Cohen’s experiences resonate with many parents, illustrating the delicate balance of special moments with a touch of humor. Each fleeting moment, even ones that initially appear negative, can turn into cherished memories filled with laughter and love.
