While co-hosting CNN’sNew Year’s Evebroadcast on Sunday evening, Cohen shared sweet words for friend and co-hostAnderson Cooper, 56, after the clock struck midnight, ringing in 2024 in New York City.

After expressing his hopes for 2024, Cohen turned his attention to Cooper, telling him, “I just wanted to say, you are such a great dad. You’re such an attentive [father].”

Recalling how he mentioned earlier in the broadcast that his resolution was to spend less time on his phone, Cohen highlighted how Cooper’s own revolved around his two sons —Sebastian Luke, who celebrates his 2nd birthday next month, andWyatt Morgan, 3, whom he shares with exBenjamin Maisani.

“I really marvel watching you with the kids. You’re so present, it’s really great,” Cohen said, as Cooper smiled and expressed his appreciation.

“Ben, I don’t like coming downstairs and finding you with the gingerbread house in your mouth. Do you understand me? Why do you do that?”

“It’s just so yummy,” Ben adorably replied.

“I’ve told you not to eat the gingerbread house. I’m sure it is yummy, but I don’t think you’re supposed to eat it, Ben,” Cohen replied before asking, “What does it taste like?”

“It tastes like something so good, like a cookie or something,” Ben replied, clearly enamored with the discovery.

Cohen looked confused, musing he thought it would taste “like a stale cookie,” before asking Ben, “do you know what stale means?”

“Stale means hard, like old. Does it taste hard and old?” the father of two asked.

Ben then lunged toward Andy, hugging him as he replied, “No, it tastes delicious like daddy!”
