Andy Cohen is expressing gratitude to Hoda Kotb for the pivotal role she played in his journey to fatherhood. The Watch What Happens Live host, 56, appeared on Today with Hoda and Jenna on Tuesday, Jan. 7, during Kotb’s final week on the show. While reflecting on their friendship, Cohen revealed how a heartfelt conversation with Kotb helped him take the leap into parenthood later in life.
“The courage and strength that you gave me to have my kids later in life,” Cohen said to Kotb during the segment. He recalled a meaningful exchange they shared at Radio Andy. “You and I had a very impactful conversation in the hallway one day.”
Kotb immediately remembered the moment, smiling warmly as Cohen recounted her words. “You were like, ‘It’s right on time. It’s okay,’” he shared. “Because I was worried about where I was in my life and my age, and you really set me straight. That conversation was very impactful to me personally, and I really thank you for that guidance.”
Cohen, now a proud father of two, has often spoken about the joy his children bring to his life. Kotb, who adopted her daughters Haley Joy, 6, and Hope Catherine, 4, later in life herself, has been a vocal advocate for embracing parenthood on one’s own timeline.
The heartfelt moment between the two television personalities highlights the power of friendship and encouragement in making life-changing decisions. Cohen’s gratitude is a testament to how Kotb’s advice continues to inspire others to embrace their own unique paths to parenthood.
