Andy Cohen’s Baby Announcement Will Bring Bravo Fans Tears Of Joy

There may have been a slew of Real Housewives stars on Watch What Happens Live's special holiday OG episode, but it was Andy Cohen who stole the spotlight. On the Dec. 20 episode, Andy Cohen announced that he's expecting a baby via surrogate, and his announcement may just make celebrities and Bravo fans alike incredibly emotional.

Toward the end of the episode, Cohen addressed the audience to share a very personal bit of news. He explained that he wants to be as open as possible with all of his viewers, whom he considers friends, saying, "I have always tried to be as transparent as possible about my life — I overshare and I expect everyone around me to do the same." He then revealed the surprising and exciting news, which left the Housewives on the special, the audience, and the world, overjoyed.

Cohen said:

"Tonight, I want you to be the first to know that after many years of careful deliberation, a fair amount of prayers, and the benefit of science — if all goes according to plan in about six weeks time — I am going to become a father, thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future. Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something that I have wanted in my heart for my entire life. And though it’s taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be the most rewarding chapter yet."

Many members of Cohen's Bravo family couldn't help but share their excitement over the happy news on Twitter.
