Andy Cohen is opening up about his experience with surrogacy. The 55-year-old Watch What Happens Live host has welcomed his two kids – son Benjamin, born in 2019, and daughter Lucy, born in 2022 – via surrogate.
In a new interview, Andy revealed that Lucy is “one of the first” babies born of gestational surrogacy in the state of New York.
