Photos recently surfaced of “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen with what appeared to be a new boyfriend, Kevin Sobieski. Now, days later, the “Housewives” executive producer is opening up about his beau, revealing that he believes him to be the one.
Cohen’s confirmation of his relationship comes days after he received the Variety Creative Impact in Television Award, more than 20 years into his career.
Cohen took to his SiriusXM show, “Radio Andy,” to confirm that the rumors about him having a boyfriend were true. After being asked about his relationship status by his co-host, he responded in the clip, “I do, and I’m really happy to say that I met the person, you guys.”
After that, the “WWHL” host stated that they met at a Fourth of July party in 2025. He set the scene, recalling, “So, it was 11 months ago, and I saw him from across the party.” Cohen then shared that he came close to not attending the party.
He continued, “And I dragged myself out. I never get invited to gay parties in the Hamptons anymore, and I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just go.’”
Andy Says He And His New Boyfriend Bonded Right Away
Cohen continued to recall his first meeting with his now-partner. According to him, “We talked all night. I very methodically put my number in his phone, and apparently I said to him twice that night, ‘I want to make sure this number is right.’”
From there, Andy described his boyfriend as “kind and strong and smart.” He confirmed that his boyfriend has met his two kids, saying, “And he loves my children, and they love him, and I love him.”
He went on, “And we have been so slow, and deliberate, and methodical about introducing getting to know each other and introducing him to the kids and just entering him into the equation of my family so slowly. Cohen then called the process “so easy.”
The “Housewives” executive continued reflecting, noting, “One year later, I still can’t believe I found him.” Regarding why he didn’t confirm the relationship sooner, Cohen said that he wanted to be “smart and slow” about his love life before speaking out.
Bravo Fans Are Happy For Cohen
Following Cohen’s confirmation that he’d found love, social media users are weighing in, revealing how happy they are for the host and his boyfriend. One person said on X, “Oh my GOD- listening to this just warmed up my entire soul. I am so, so happy for Andy Cohen.”
Another person noted, “They are both hot. Good for him.” Someone else chimed in, writing, “Yay!! Love this for Andy.” A different Bravo fan wrote, “Good for him….everyone deserves happiness.”
Lastly, another social media user gave their say, “Andy Cohen is not my favorite person by far, but he sounds so happy. Almost teared up when he called the man ‘the one.’ Now I’m actually crying.”
The ‘Watch What Happens Live’ Host Recently Opened Up About His Career
Cohen received the Variety Creative Impact in Television Award on June 5 at the Newport Beach TV Fest. Ahead of the honor, he opened up in an interview with Variety about his more than two-decade career in media.
Regarding how he organizes his day-to-day life, Cohen stated, “I just hit my deadlines.” He added about his executive producer duties, “I still do notes on every episode of ‘[Real] Housewives’ that there is.” Cohen went on to discuss the state of the “Housewives” franchise as he had just finished a screener of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
According to Variety, he called the latest season “really good,” noting that the show had just exited a “rebuilding phase.” The outlet also noted that he’d just seen an episode of the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”
In discussing how far he’d come in his career, Cohen noted, “I can’t believe all these years into my career, this is what developed. I was told at CBS News [that] I was too cross-eyed to be on television. Then I was in charge of programming at Bravo at a time when no network executive could ever be in front of the camera. I have bucked the system and won.”
Andy Cohen Has A New Book Coming Out
In addition to his work with Bravo and his radio show, Cohen has published multiple books and even has a publishing imprint, Andy Cohen Books. In April 2026, the “Watch What Happens” live host announced his newest book, “Andy’s Bravo Scrapbook.”
He said in the Instagram announcement, “I’ve been working on it for a while. You can say I’ve been working on it for 20 years because this is the ultimate Bravo coffee table book. It’s the ultimate Bravo photo album.”
“Andy’s Bravo Scrapbook” will be released on October 20.
