Andy Cohen has publicly confirmed that he has been dating Kevin Sobieski for almost a year, a rare glimpse into the 58-year-old host’s private life that came after photos of the pair began circulating. Cohen said he met Sobieski at his friend Justin’s July 4th party last year and was drawn to him from across the room.
The timing matters because Cohen chose to talk about the relationship on the latest episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, turning what had been a quiet romance into a public one. He said he was so methodical about putting his number in Sobieski’s phone that he asked twice to make sure it was right, a detail that fits the careful way he described the relationship from the start.
Cohen said the two have moved slowly and deliberately, and that Sobieski has already fit into family life. He said Sobieski loves his children and they love him, and he described him as kind, strong, smart and an adult. He also said he made sure to introduce Sobieski to the kids gradually, rather than rush anything.
That careful pace is part of why Cohen said the relationship has felt easy. Over the last 11 months, he said, the pair have not had one fight or disagreement. He added that Sobieski is lowkey and not in his business, and that he does not watch the Housewives, which seems to suit a life that Cohen has kept mostly out of view.
Cohen said he was preparing to speak publicly about Sobieski when the photos surfaced, and he also told several Housewives about him at BravoCon, where nobody said a word. For now, the new information is not a breakup, a breakup scare or a dramatic reveal. It is a straightforward answer to a question Cohen had kept private until the story reached him first.
