Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper embarked on an “epic” spring break journey to Disney World with their children!
On Saturday, April 19, Cohen, 56, posted an Instagram photo featuring the two TV personalities on the TRON Lightcycle/Run ride at Magic Kingdom. “Had an amazing Spring Break with AC’s family at Disney & Universal!” he captioned. “It was the ultimate family getaway. A true joy!”
Cooper, 57, is a father to two sons — Wyatt, 4, and Sebastian, 3 — whom he co-parents with ex Benjamin Maisani. Cohen is also a dad of two: son Benjamin, 6, and daughter Lucy, who will celebrate her 3rd birthday on April 29.
In another Instagram post, the Bravo star shared a touching video of Lucy getting a hug from Daisy Duck, accompanied by Jerry Garcia’s song “They Love Each Other.”
In a playful nod to the drama typical of his network, Cohen humorously remarked in the caption: “They resolved their differences!!!!! And if Lucy & Daisy Duck can come together, I believe we can spread this energy throughout the Bravoverse…”
Many Real Housewives stars expressed their delight at the joke in the comments, including Margaret Josephs, who quipped, “In the Bravoverse, we don’t have beef with lovable Daisy, we’ve got Cruella and Malificent 😜😂🩷.” Heather Dubrow simply replied with a string of emojis: “🤣🤣🤣.”

Cooper and Cohen have maintained a close friendship for over twenty years after initially being set up on a blind date by mutual friends. Throughout the years, they’ve taken vacations together, attended fashion shows, and collaborated on various TV projects.

Last year, he shared the “aggravating” observation he made during the playdates between their families. Appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark in May 2024, he remarked how Cooper’s kids always seem to behave exceptionally well compared to his own.
“His kids never seem to misbehave, and it drives me crazy! I’m sitting there thinking, ‘My kid just got out of a timeout and is heading right back into another!’ Meanwhile, his kids are saying, ‘Yes, daddy, I’ll do that,'” Cohen expressed. “I’m like, ‘Do you have any issues in your household?’ It’s just so frustrating!”
He further added, “I’m curious, ‘Do they ever cry?’ It’s incredibly exasperating.”

In 2022, Cohen discussed how navigating parenthood alongside Cooper has deepened their friendship.
“We’re like these geriatric parents struggling to run after our children, but hey, it’s another bonding experience,” he stated on Bruce Bozzi’s Table for Two podcast.
“What will be particularly interesting as we move forward is how being gay dads influences our kids as they start to understand more about it, realizing, ‘Oh, I have gay dads,'” Cohen elaborated. “I’m truly glad that Ben will grow up alongside Wyatt and that Ben will witness Anderson and Benjamin raising Wyatt and Sebastian.”
