Andy Cohen is ecstatic after his little boy Ben smooches Anderson Cooper’s son Wyatt on the cheek 

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper are the best of friends.

And now it looks like their little boys Ben, 21 months, and Wyatt, six-months, are primed to be pals too.

Andy talked about the tots’ connection during Cooper’s Monday appearance on the Bravo star’s SiriusXM Radio Andy show, telling listeners ‘the highlight of his week’ was seeing his little dude Ben kiss Wyatt on the cheek during their latest play-date.

Andy, 52, explained how he and Anderson, 53, had been trying to get the boys to connect amid their age difference.

‘The last couple months has been taking Ben over on Saturday or Sunday to have a little hangout with Wyatt for a couple hours,’ he said/

‘And I feel like for the first few times, Ben didn’t really want anything to do with Wyatt, or to even acknowledge him. But I feel like last night was kind of a milestone, don’t you?’

‘Yeah, it was sweet because I was playing with them both and then he kissed Wyatt on the cheek and hugged him and it was so cute,” Cooper said. 

‘He did that a couple of times. So my heart kind of melted.’

Early last month the pair shared a photo of themselves being ‘Playground dads’ while walking their little guys through the streets of NYC’s Greenwich Village.

On their outing, the doting dads both flashed bright smiles, as they momentarily slid out of their CDC-recommended face masks to take a picture.  

The WWHL host sported a cozy knit sweater over a grey t-shirt and a purple face mask, made by RHONY alum Jill Zarin, 56.

The pair have been vocal about fostering a friendship between their babies, with  Cohen previously joking that if his toddler likes Wyatt ‘half as much as’ he likes his father, they’re ‘going to be great’ pals.  

Due to the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, the little ones were not able to meet up for months. 

The tots’ fathers, however, appear to be making up for lost time, as playgrounds sites reopen with social distancing across New York City. 

Cohen’s post certainty delighted his more than four million Instagram followers, as the picture hit more than 50,000 likes in under an hour.    

While neither of their sons were pictured, they are both fixtures on their respective fathers’ Instagram accounts. 

Earlier this week, Cohen posted a very autumnal photo of Ben wandering through an expansive pumpkin patch.

‘Happy Fall,’ Andy captioned the whimsical snap, accompanied by Halloween pumpkin emojis. 

Meanwhile, last month, Anderson nearly broke the internet with an update on his mini-me, who is five-months-old, calling him ‘such a happy baby.’

In the photograph, the Emmy-winning journalist laid side-by-side with his son, who has started teething. 

Cooper also revealed Wyatt already loves Dr. Seuss, ‘particularly, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.’

The first-time father has been opened up about his choice to co-parent Wyatt with his ex-boyfriend Benjamin Maisani, who he split from in 2018 after ten years together.

Speaking in the June Pride issue of People, he said ‘I knew what it was like growing up without a dad,’ adding, ‘If there was ever something that happened to me, I would want Wyatt to be surrounded by love,’ in regards to his father Wyatt Cooper passing away during surgery when he was just 10.

In the same issue of the magazine, the new dad said he hasn’t ruled out welcoming more children in the future. 

‘I need to probably sleep a little bit more and clear my head, but I think it would be great, one day, to have a brother or sister for Wyatt,’ he said.  ‘I haven’t ruled anything out down the road.’ 

Despite adjusting to his new schedule, which includes waking up around 7 a.m., after anchoring his CNN show every weekday night, his son has ‘changed everything,’ while speaking to WSJ. Magazine in August.

‘It’s changed everything,’ he admitted. ‘I’ve often in my life felt like I was waiting for my actual life to begin – it’s obviously ridiculous because I’m 53 years old – but… I’ve been very focused on getting to some place, getting a story. Because I’m focused on him, it gives an order to everything.’
