Andy Cohen has welcomed his second child and first daughter.

"Meet Lucy Eve Cohen!! My heart is bursting," the Bravo host and Real Housewives mastermind tweeted Friday.

He went into more detail on Instagram, saying Lucy was born at 5:13 p.m. in New York City, weighing 8 pounds, 13 ounces. He thanked his "rock star surrogate" and noted that Lucy's big brother is eager to meet her. That brother, Benjamin Allen, was born February 4, 2019.

Cohen now joins his best friend, CNN's Anderson Cooper, in being a father of two. Cooper announced the birth of his second son, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper, in February. Cooper's first son, Wyatt, was born in 2020.

The two out TV personalities are known for hosting CNN's New Year's Eve Live (the most recent broadcast was a standout) and for their touring stage show, AC2: An Intimate Evening With Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. Cooper offered good wishes to his friend in the comments section of the Instagram post.

It's shaping up to be a landmark year for Cohen. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February, and he's celebrating the 10th anniversary of hosting Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. His other accomplishments include having two channels on SiriusXM, Radio Andy and Andy Cohen's Kiki Lounge, and being a four-time New York Times best-selling author.

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
