Anderson Cooper Has New Baby & Back Together With Benjamin Maisani

So this is how Anderson is going to handle his celebrity journalist jet-setting career.

He is back together with old flame Benjamin Maisani

Multiple sources have confirmed this to US Weekly

“Anderson has reconciled with Ben,” an insider says of the 52-year-old CNN anchor. “They very quietly got back together and are planning ahead. Ben is selling one of his clubs and cutting back on how much he does at night so he can spend more time at home with Anderson and the baby.”

Who takes care of the baby when they’re in the dungeon?

by Anonymousreply 2May 2, 2020 3:26 AM

“Selling” his club is a misnomer. “No longer funding a losing venture whose closing was imminent” is more like it.

Glorias death is sending him spiraling. Should wait a full year or two before doing stuff like this.

Another old dad. Somebody call Rainman.

Wonderful they are back together and patched up whatever differences they had - for the baby;s sake

Baby will be raised by nannies. I wonder why he waited til his mom was dead to do this?

Loneliness would be my guess...

“Wyatt” is virtually unpronounceable to a native French speaker, which makes me question how much coparenting is going on.

Is the boyfriend a foreigner?

by Anonymousreply 10May 3, 2020 1:58 PM

In the immortal words of an astute DLer, R10, the boyfriend is a "Corsican barmaid."

R11 Oh, does that also make him white adjacent as well?

by Anonymousreply 12May 3, 2020 2:26 PM

My first reaction was that I was very happy for them, despite the cynical comments of some jaded types

Two men cannot have a baby together. Only one is the father, the other is just a nanny.

by Anonymousreply 14May 3, 2020 2:41 PM

Will the baby remain uncut? Inquiring minds want to know.

R15 not with the lineage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is like Tom Ford

He has (had) a "table" at an LA hotel bar where he held court every night.

I dare you to find many fathers who (a) are out almost every night like that and, more important (b) WANT to be out every single night like that rather than home with the kids.

"Multiple sources have confirmed this to US Weekly" is all we need to know about this thread.

If anyone thinks this isn't the result of Cohen's bullying because no other celebs will let their kids play with Benjamin, then please drink all the kool-aid.

Since he won’t be getting much sleep now at least he’ll be getting dick.

Agree R17. Bothersome to me that people who don’t have the time or desire to be a parent have kids to fill a hole in their lives. True of many women too - like Madonna. The desire to be a parent is inherently narcissistic.

by Anonymousreply 21May 3, 2020 6:37 PM

Jesus, you people seem to know a lot. Not.

These prominent gay guys with kids seem to spend a lot of time at home with their offspring: the Elton Johns, the Neil Patrick Harris', the Ricky Martins, the Nate Berkus'

but what about Cesar???? We ALL know that though Anderson may like being seen with Ben, his loins belonged to Cesar

Stale, boring, uninspired. Ever since he came out, he totally lost IT...

Shocking:

[quote] My son is entirely wearing hand-me-downs from Andy Cohen's son," Cooper said. He blamed this on two things: being cheap, and not being able to shop during the pandemic. Cohen became a dad to Benjamin in February 2019.

Wyatt, you completely failed your band-aid mission. Prepare to re-deploy.

Who's the mother of the child?

by Anonymousreply 33May 5, 2020 7:37 PM

R7, maybe he did this to replace his mother.

Not long after my MIL died, my SIL was desperate to have another baby. Without going into further detail, it was a disastrous choice.

Maybe it works with pets, but humans; not so much.

Anderson Cooper is proof that any white dude with money can get laid constantly.

R35 Because he’s paying them right?

Barbara Walters has this story she tells where she told her daughter she wanted a Grandbaby SO BAD - What her daughter say in response?

Get a puppy

So that is what Barbara did. AC should have done the same.

I would hope so. I don't know how you'd get over the albino look without money.

by Anonymousreply 38May 5, 2020 9:05 PM

R30 yeah, and they don’t even have to deal with the hassle of “real” parents. They just bought themselves a baby without much commitment and bother....

by Anonymousreply 39May 6, 2020 2:33 AM

is it true that AC was married to a woman in the 90s and had 2 daughters with her?

by Anonymousreply 40May 6, 2020 2:48 AM

Yes, who will watch the babby when there's an orgy over at Andy Cohen's dungeon?

Calling Consuela...

It's probably the same woman who voluntarily choose to give birth to Michael Jackson's kids.

They'll trot out the kid for a few photo-ops before they ship it off to some Swiss boarding school where they won't have to see it for fifteen years.

by Anonymousreply 45May 13, 2020 1:45 PM

So true, R45. Can't let some stupid kid interfere with summers in the Hamptons with the Consuelos, quality gym time, and clubbing with Andy Cohen.

Perhaps the Andys can get a "twofer" deal with said Swiss boarding school

by Anonymousreply 46May 13, 2020 1:57 PM

That's such an ignorant attitude r45 and r46.

If the baby came by the usual methods, or by accident, you may have a point, but since he went through a lot of time and effort to have a baby, I hardly think he's going to abandon it at the first opportunity.

You seem to have no idea what it feels like for a gay man to father and raise a child. It's such a precious gift, one that has been so long denied us; I'm sure they will treasure every moment.

by Anonymousreply 47May 13, 2020 2:58 PM

I think Anderson will be like Neil Patrick Harris and use them as props (ie the Sondheim Witch broadcast). Andy Cohen, on the other hand, will ship his kid off to wherever the moment he gets bored.

by Anonymousreply 48May 13, 2020 3:38 PM

Did Anderson have a baby because he lost his mom?

Then why isn't Anderson taking a 3 month parental leave like other mothers do? Instead, he went right back to work. As his ego and being on TV seems to be more important than being a hands on father

Some single mothers can't afford child care and are forced to go back to work right away. This is not the case with AC and he didn't even take a day off to be with his baby.

Actions speak louder than words.

And most of them are fifty years old and above. That increases the risk of a baby with Aspergers. Old sperm you know.

Hey, Andy, why don't you bring little Wy out for a play date with Archie? While you're here, my husband can twist your arm, er I mean discuss how you can provide some work for me.
