New Year’s Eve is not the only holiday Andy Cohen spends with his BFF Anderson Cooper — their families got together for Halloween this year, too!
The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host, 58, shared a carousel of photos on Saturday, October 31, revealing he and boyfriend Kevin Sobieski coordinated lightsaber-wielding Jedi costumes from Star Wars alongside Cohen’s son Ben, 7, as the Sith Lord Darth Maul.
Cohen’s New Year’s Eve Live cohost Cooper, 59, went for a lower maintenance costume, wearing a skeleton hoodie.
“Happy Halloween from New York City,” the Bravo host captioned his festive photo dump.
The dads frequently hang out away from their yearly visit to Times Square, having even gone on vacations together with their families in the past. (Cohen is a dad to son Ben and daughter Lucy, 4, while Cooper and his former partner Benjamin Maisani share two sons: Wyatt, 6, and Sebastian, 4.)
This year marked the second Halloween since Cohen started dating businessman Sobieski, 42, in July 2025. The couple went Instagram this past July after seeing each other under the radar for a full year.
While Cohen revolutionized reality TV as the executive producer of The Real Housewives, he confirmed on Today in August that Sobieski had never seen “one frame” of the shows when they got together.
“[He’s] never seen it,” Cohen said. “His algorithm is feeding him Housewives-related things 1793547255 because our phones listen to everything we say, so he’s starting to get a sense of the universe, but he has no clue.”
The WWHL host added that his boyfriend’s lack of familiarity with the Bravoverse turned out to be a positive aspect of their relationship.
“I love it. He loves my kids and me, and that’s what’s important,” Cohen noted. “I’ll get him there [on Bravo].”
During an appearance on Carlos King’s podcast in October, Cohen alluded to the solid foundation he’d built with Sobieski throughout their relationship.
“It’s a really adult grown-a** love of a man with two kids, who I know myself better than I’ve ever known myself,” he acknowledged. “I’m more settled than I’ve ever been in my life and where I’m at and where I want to be, which is right where I am. It’s very centered, it’s very calm and I’m very sure of it.”
The talk show host admitted he was surprised that he was able to pull off dating Sobieski for an entire year before anyone else found out about it.
“We had been holding hands for a year all over the West Village, and nobody really [said anything],” he recalled. “I mean, we literally sit in restaurants holding hands, and nobody said anything. … I would have said something eventually because I do demand a certain level of transparency to the people who are in the chair across from me.”
Cohen added, “I was saying to him around that time, ‘At some point soon I’m going to have to let the cat out of the bag because I’m really happy and I want to share that with people.’ Also, it just seems a little hypocritical not to speak on it when I kind of demand it of others, and I also speak so much on the radio … talking a lot about myself and my kids and everything else. It just seemed natural that that would happen.”
