He worked at CBS News for 10 years, serving as a producer for programs like The Early Show, 48 Hours, and CBS This Morning before joining the television network Trio in 2000.

After Trio was bought by Bravo in 2004, Cohen became the Vice President of Original Programming. He later became the Executive Vice President of Development and Talent at Bravo until 2013.

Cohen welcomed son Ben and daughter Lucy via surrogate. Previously, he confessed on the Call Her Daddy podcast in October 2025 that while he loves being a single father, the dating world is complicated. He joked about searching for love on Raya and Grindr.

Andy and Kevin appear to have first met in 2020 after they both participated in a Covid fundraiser called Saturday Night Seder.

The Saturday Night Seder was a virtual fundraiser broadcast on YouTube on April 11, 2020. It was co-produced by Benj Pasek and featured a wide array of celebrity participants, including Andy Cohen.

Sobieski is no stranger to a glamorous lifestyle or mingling with elite crowds. He previously accompanied Benj Pasek to high-profile opening nights in London and Los Angeles.

Reactions online

The comments on the DeuxMoi Instagram post were immediately flooded by fans who recognised the man with Cohen as Kevin Sobieski.

An alleged friend of Kevin revealed more about their romance to DeuxMoi, claiming: “He is a GREAT guy and Andy is super lucky to be with such a gem.”

The story spread rapidly across entertainment outlets, with TMZ, Just Jared, and Out all running coverage within hours of the photos going online.

What Cohen has said about dating

Cohen opened up to Extra in November 2025 about hopes for getting married, saying: “I think that a few things need to happen before I get married.” He also revealed his dating dealbreaker, noting: “I think if the first date was like, ‘When can I meet Countess Luann?’ I might be like, ‘You know what? Slow your roll, dude.'”

On the Call Her Daddy podcast in October 2025, when host Alex Cooper asked if he was on the apps, Cohen confirmed he was on Grindr, Scruff, Raya, Hinge, and Tinder. He even noted he got kicked off Grindr because people accused him of impersonating himself.

The relationship marks a new chapter for Cohen, who has not publicly dated anyone since his early 2000s split from John Hill.
