Andy Cohen announced on his Radio Andy SiriusXM show that he is in a romance with Kevin Sobieski, saying the pair met at a Fourth of July party last summer and that he “very methodically” added his number to Sobieski’s phone as they got to know one another.
“I am really happy to say that I met the person,” Cohen said, and added that Sobieski is “kind and strong and smart and he is an adult and he loves my children and they love him.” Cohen named his children — Benjamin, 7, and Lucy, 4 — as part of the deliberate way he’s folded Sobieski into his life: “I love him and we have been so slow and deliberate and methodical about getting to know each other and introducing him to the kids and just entering him into the equation of my family so slowly.”
The relationship first caught public attention when Cohen and Sobieski were photographed holding hands during Cohen’s 58th birthday celebration in New York City as the couple walked to dinner at Via Carota. Last month, photos surfaced of the pair strolling in Miami, a detail Cohen discussed alongside his radio remarks.
Cohen supplied specifics that go to the tenor of the relationship: they met at a holiday party last summer, have been together roughly 11 months, and, he said plainly, “11 months we’ve not had one fight, we haven’t had a disagreement.” He repeated how astonished he feels — “One year later, I still can’t believe I found him” — and that he had wanted to keep the romance private until he felt it was right to talk about it publicly: “I just wanted to be smart and slow before saying anything about this.”
Sobieski is described by Cohen as low-key and not part of the entertainment business; the host called him an adult with steady qualities and noted the man’s affection for Cohen’s children. Public records show Sobieski previously dated songwriter Benj Pasek and made a red carpet appearance with Pasek at the 2018 opening night of Dear Evan Hansen in Los Angeles, a past that contrasts with the quieter profile Cohen emphasized.
The contrast is the story’s tension: Cohen portrayed the relationship as unusually easy and harmonious — “we just view life the same way” — while stressing he kept it out of the public eye for months. That caution explains why the romance only surfaced in public after those birthday photos and why Cohen has framed every detail as carefully staged and gradual, from exchanging numbers to the stepwise introductions to his children.
There are still ordinary gaps that matter. Cohen said Sobieski is “not in the entertainment business” and is low-profile, and he has not signaled any next public appearances for the pair beyond the birthday dinner and the Miami strolls that have been photographed. The public record also notes Cohen was last linked to Clifton Dassuncao from 2013 to 2018, a previous chapter Cohen used to underline why he would be deliberate this time.
For readers answering the simple query of who the andy cohen boyfriend is: Cohen identified him by name — Kevin Sobieski — and described a relationship that began at a Fourth of July party last summer, has been slow and methodical, and has already included introductions to his two children. Whether Sobieski will accept a more visible role in Cohen’s public life remains the unanswered question; given Cohen’s insistence that he wanted to be “smart and slow” and Sobieski’s low-key profile, the host’s radio disclosure feels like a controlled release, not an invitation to immediate publicity.
