At 53, Anderson Cooper, a well-known CNN anchor, became a father—a feat he believed was unattainable for a gay man. In 2020, Wyatt Morgan, his son, was born through surrogacy. Benjamin Maisani, Cooper’s ex-partner, is a loving co-parent despite his early reluctance to have children.

 

 

 

 

Despite their 2018 split, the pair is still great friends and lives together in a Greenwich Village house.

 

Cooper has conveyed his appreciation for Maisani’s assistance in raising Wyatt and their 2022 baby, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. They remain close friends and put their sons’ welfare first despite their breakup.

 

 

 

 

Cooper has welcomed parenthood, describing it as a transformative event that has given his life structure. In contrast to his late-night stints, he now gets up at 7 am to spend time with his sons.

 

 

 

 

Additionally, he has stated that he hopes to grow his family in the future, including adding a brother for Wyatt and Sebastian.

 

 

 

 

The CNN host has shared touching moments with his sons on social media, being candid about his struggle. His unusual family has been an inspiration to many, and his love and commitment to his kids are clear.

 

 

 

 

Cooper and Maisani’s co-parenting relationship is a beacon of love, respect, and dedication to their kids’ happiness in a world when family dynamics are changing.
