Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper share everything from identical initials to similar professions, which makes it easy to see why the twosome are best friend goals.
Cohen and Cooper met in the early '90s when they were almost set up on a blind date. However, the pair's dynamic never became romantic because Cohen broke Cooper's "cardinal rule" of dating — mentioning his socialite mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
Although the duo never went on a date, they forged a friendship that developed into an equally strong working relationship. Cohen and Cooper have hit the road together every year since 2016 for their conversational stage tour, “AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen." The pair have also cohosted CNN's New Year's Eve Live together since 2017.
Cohen revealed via Instagram in May 2020 that he hopes their sons will "be best friends" when they get older — just like their dads. He and Cooper have since welcomed daughter Lucy and son Sebastian, respectively.

“You guys are who you are.You shined on this platform because they allowed you to be you.Don't take that way.You celebrate that, and you toast to that, and you amplify it.
Luckily, they reconnected a few years later on vacation and became close friends. In the years since, Cooper and Cohen have supported each other through major life events, including the death of Cooper's mother Gloria Vanderbilt and the births of their respective children.
Consuelo Vanderbilt is the third of her name — her great great grandmother and great great great aunt were both Consuelo Vanderbilts — and is the third cousin, twice removed, of Anderson Cooper, the CNN journalist.
