Just last week, the CNN host opened up about Benjamin being part of his newborn son’s life.
“Even though we’re not together anymore… he’s my family and I want him to be Wyatt’s family, as well,” he told Stephen Colbert.
He also gushed over his first few days as a father.
“I just can’t believe that… he’s going to depend on me and that he’s here. It’s just astonishing,” Cooper said. “I’ve always dreamed about it, but I never thought I would actually be able to do it. It’s been incredible.”
Luckily, he’s not raising his son alone. Fans might recall that he and Benjamin split back in 2018, after being together for nearly a decade.
“Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago,” Cooper shared with Daily Mail at the time. “We are still family to each other, and love each other very much. We remain the best of friends, and will continue to share much of our lives together.”
