Andy Cohen and his boyfriend, Kevin Sobieski, have officially stepped into the spotlight together, making their red carpet debut at SiriusXM's John Mayer concert in New York City. The appearance comes just over a year after their relationship first sparked romance rumors.
Cohen, 58, and Sobieski, 42, posed for photos together at the event, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. The couple was first romantically linked in early June, when they were photographed holding hands while heading to dinner for Cohen's 58th birthday. A source told TMZ at the time that they had been dating for several months.
Shortly after the initial reports, Cohen confirmed their relationship, describing it as "slow and deliberate." He revealed on his SiriusXM show, "Radio Andy," that he met Sobieski at a Fourth of July party the previous summer. Cohen explained that he "very methodically" added his number to Sobieski's phone, emphasizing his desire to find the right person.
"I don’t want to be with the wrong person. I value my time too much. I value my life too much," Cohen stated on his show. He also shared that he and Sobieski were intentional about introducing him to Cohen's children, son Benjamin, 7, and daughter Lucy, 4. Cohen noted that Sobieski has a good relationship with the children, and that the introduction has been seamless.
"I have to say it has been so easy. Eleven months, we’ve not had one fight. We haven’t had a disagreement. We have similar... we just view life the same way," Cohen said about their relationship. "One year later, I still can’t believe I found him."
Cohen had previously kept the relationship private, wanting to be "smart and slow" before introducing Sobieski to his public life, noting Sobieski's "lowkey" nature. He expressed his happiness, stating, "I’m really happy to say that I met the person."
The couple also made their relationship Instagram official in July, when Cohen shared a photo of himself and Sobieski enjoying a night out with the caption, "Date Night ♥️🌟🌈☀️⚡️."
During a recent appearance on the "Today" show, Cohen mentioned that Sobieski had never watched "The Real Housewives" franchise, despite Cohen's role as an executive producer. He joked that Sobieski's online algorithms are now starting to show him related content, but he still has "no clue" about the shows. Cohen expressed his intention to get him to watch them eventually.
