In an episode of *Andy Cohen Live* broadcast on 8 June, Cohen, 58, revealed that he is indeed in a relationship with Kevin Sobieski. The host did not shy away from sharing personal details, stating that he first met Sobieski at a Fourth of July gathering in 2025. Reflecting on that day, Cohen recounted his initial hesitations about attending the party but ultimately decided it was worth the effort.
“I almost didn’t go to the party,” Cohen admitted during the show. “I never get invited to gay parties in the Hamptons anymore and I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just go.'” This decision proved impactful, as it led to a significant connection with Sobieski. The two spent the entire evening conversing, and Cohen made a point to ensure that he could be contacted by entering his number into Sobieski’s phone — a moment he recalled with a sense of humour, affirming he wanted to ensure “that the number was right.”
Describing Sobieski, Cohen praised him as “kind,” “strong,” “smart,” and someone who shares a genuine affection for Cohen’s two children, Lucy and Ben. The relationship has been smooth sailing thus far, with Cohen noting they had not experienced any conflicts over the past eleven months. “I love him,” Cohen said, adding, “It’s been so easy… we just view life the same way.”
Cohen has long been open about the pressures of dating, often fielding questions from his fans about why he was still single. He emphasised that he would only enter into a relationship when he found the right person, stating, “I don’t want to be with the wrong person. I value my time too much, I value my life too much.” His cautious and considered approach appears to have paid off.
The couple has taken their time introducing Sobieski to Cohen’s children, aiming for a gradual and thoughtful process. Cohen has spoken with members of the *Real Housewives* franchise about his new relationship, having planned to announce the news publicly on their one-year anniversary. However, the recent emergence of candid photographs expedited his decision to confirm their partnership.
The 58-year-old television personality is known for his role as the host of *Watch What Happens Live*, a platform where he has shared snippets of his personal experiences. Previously, Cohen discussed his dating preferences on Alex Cooper’s *Call Her Daddy* podcast, describing the traits he finds attractive in a partner as strong, independent, and smart.
As Cohen embarks upon this new chapter in life, he reflects on the happiness that Sobieski has brought him. He expressed astonishment at the unexpected nature of their connection, saying, “One year later, I still can’t believe I found him.” The relationship, characterised by mutual respect and shared values, marks not just a personal milestone for Cohen, but also a positive step forward as he continues to navigate the complexities of life as a single parent in the public eye.
With the bond with Sobieski growing stronger, it seems Cohen is excited for what the future holds, both for himself and for this budding relationship. As they continue to build their partnership, fans and followers will undoubtedly be intrigued by the unfolding journey of one of television’s most beloved figures.
