Andy Cohen Gets Real On ‘Life’s Clock’ & The Kids

Andy Cohen, the Bravo host from The Real Housewives and other shows, would probably love time to just stop so he can enjoy his children while they’re still young. Actually, lots of people would love that to happen. Read on to see what he talked about.

A Simple Photo With A Big Message

On Thursday, the single dad of two took to his Instagram account and shared a photo of himself going about his day away from the production crews. In his photo, Andy crossed a street with his two children, son Benjamin, 6, and daughter Lucy, 3.

These days, he tends to give his kids a bit more privacy, so the faces of the kids couldn’t be seen. Taken from the rear, Bravo fans could see that he held the hand of his young daughter, while his other hand rested on Ben’s shoulder.

In his caption, the reality TV host wrote:

I want to freeze this moment in the evolution of my family so badly. I hear every single day how quickly this will go and to savor every minute. I am trying! I am grateful for it all as life’s clock ticks loudly in my head.

Fans & Friends React

In the comments, Vanderpump Rules alum, Kristen Doute, knew how he felt, saying, “everyone told me this about newborn Kaia and I’m with you. time flies by too fast.”

Meanwhile, General Hospital star Finola Hughes told Andy Cohen, “Yes, savor it.” The sentiment seemed universal, with one follower sharing the bittersweet reality of parenting. They revealed:

My son would still hold my hand in 7th grade…he’s a sophomore in college now, and I remember it like it was yesterday…the days are long but the years are short.

Here are a few more responses from the discussion area:

• It really does go by so quickly! Savor every minute you can with them, it’s just so very special.
• So glad you became a Dad. What a wonderful heart and attitude you have towards your children. Lucky family. Love Andy’s thoughts always.
• Look at the beautiful life you’ve built for these children, Andy. And it has nothing to do with material things. A dad who holds their hands extra tight walking down the street. Every kid deserves someone like you!

Wanting To Be A Dad

Andy Cohen always wanted kids, but he wasn’t interested in a relationship with a woman. In fact, he was one of the pioneering famous faces who came out at a time when few folks did so. Both his gorgeous kids were carried by a surrogate mom, and he took to parenting with a lot of enthusiasm.

He doesn’t share his children on social media every single day, but when he does, many people always respond because he seems to be a great parent.
