It’s Andy Cohen’s fault we’re all obsessed with Housewives, and his son knows it too.
The longtime executive producer of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” appeared on New York magazine’s cover for its TV issue. He took his 5-year-old son Ben to a newsstand for a look at his face on the magazine cover. Cohen captured his son's hilarious reaction on video and shared on Instagram.
In the video, Cohen gets various angles of the newsstand, which is stocked end to end with the New York magazine issue featuring his face. Cohen and Ben can be briefly spotted in the storefront’s reflection, with Ben riding on his father’s shoulder while Cohen laughs in reaction to what he sees.
“Daddy!” Ben says, chuckling as Andy films the magazine covers.
“Is that so funny, huh?” Cohen asks as Ben continues to giggle.

He also mentioned Ben’s waning enthusiasm for his father’s excitement around the show’s big anniversary.
“I think Ben is a little sick of me in that way,” he said. “But he knows that I’m good for a hug and a good time.”
