Renowned CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who believes that being gay is impossible, became a father at the age of 53. In 2020, his son Wyatt Morgan was born through surrogacy. Despite his initial reluctance to have children, Cooper’s ex-partner Benjamin Maisani is now a loving co-parent.
The pair, who split up in 2018, are still best friends and live together in a Greenwich Village house.
In raising Wyatt and their 2022 addition, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper, Cooper has conveyed gratitude for Maisani’s assistance. Despite their separation, they remain close friends and put their sons’ welfare first.
Fatherhood has been embraced by Cooper, who describes it as a transformative experience that has given his life structure. He used to work late shifts, but now he gets up at 7 am to spend time with his sons.
He has also stated that he hopes to grow his family in the future, possibly adding a sibling for Sebastian and Wyatt.
The CNN host has been candid about his experience, posting touching photos of himself and his sons on social media. His unconventional family has inspired many, and his love and commitment to his kids are clear.
The co-parenting relationship between Cooper and Maisani is a beacon of love, respect, and dedication to their kids’ happiness in a world where family dynamics are changing.
