How is it possible that I am just now seeing the pictures of Anderson Cooper’s Son? He’s so adorable! He is about five weeks old now. I’m so happy for Anderson. Below is the baby announcement from Anderson. I bet Wyatt and Ben will grow up to be best friends.
Anderson Cooper’s Announcement:
I want to share with you some joyful news. On Monday [April, 27], I became a father. This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son’s middle name is Morgan. It’s a family name on my mom’s side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy.
As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son’s birth.
Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing – what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives
I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.
He is a beautiful baby. You can see the joy Wyatt has brought to Anderson. And, you’re right. I’m sure he & Ben will be best friends.
Thanks for providing us all with such a beautiful & uplifting post. Anderson & his baby boy look so incredibly happy together. xo Marc
ANderson will be a great father!
Oh I am so shocked that you didn’t see it when it came out, it made the rounds on IG and it put a smile on so many peoples face when it was seen. He is such a beautiful little person who just happens to have a great man as his father. Anderson would blush everytime someone congratulated him on the birth of his son, and anyone who has ever seen Anderson blush knows it takes something special to make him do this.
I’m never on IG. And recently the plugin I use to auto add my posts to my IG went kaput. So..
… she said “plug-in”…
Had to do it!

Andy said on his radio show that his baby nurse is now Anderson’s baby nurse. He’s also raising the baby with his ex bf and the bf speaks in French to the baby. I saw the baby announcement live because too much CNN — I’ve gotta tell you, I totally teared up.
I love this story. A happy end to the day.
I need this so much today! What a sweet piece of heaven. I am so very happy for the Anderson family.
TT, your timing with this post is spot on. It feels like the world is getting crazier by the minute and to see the pure joy on a new parents face is a beautiful message to share. Thank you TT for spreading some love.
I thought you knew TT! Absolutely gorgeous baby! I hope everyone watches Anderson’s documentary about his mother.. She was an amazing woman and he is her son. This baby will turn out well.
Finally something good today. What a precious gorgeous family
Love this!!! That gorgeous baby looks like dad .. I see it!
Very happy for someone who wants a child. I used many types of birth control to not have one. I admit I’m confuzzled by why would someone want one.
Me to, when people asked why I did not have kids as I would make a great mummy, my reply was always… I am to selfish a child was never on my list.
My heart tells me this little bundle of joy is a blessing to the Anderson family.
Modern science DOES create miracles on occasion! I admire Anderson as a journalist and a person, even more so because he has remained close with his ex. I have been told that if one person speaks another language that a child will not mix up the two (my mom was punished in school for mixing in French words so she didn’t want that for me). The name is so perfect. So great that Ben has a “cousin.”
For feel good moments, I have been watching Pluto Living “on the “Internets.” A talking “girl Pluto” dog with intelligence is making me smile through my tears.
Totally his mini-me. Sweet bebe.
So sweet! ?
What a cute baby – he’s perfect!
