Andrew Cuomo<\/strong> is revealing what it’s like to be “somewhere between a father and a brother” to Chris Cuomo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, the two brothers have become a beloved pair for Americans watching TV at home. Their funny rapport and candid nature with one another has injected a sense of humanity into the news, something that viewers enjoy seeing amid reports of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

As Gov. Cuomo tells Howard Stern<\/a><\/strong>in a new interview<\/a>, this is all natural and “genuine” for them, they simply “go right back into childhood” when they’re talking to one another. “Well, and it’s also 100 percent genuine. I don’t even have an alternative. That is how I relate to him, period. And that is how I feel\u2014it’s just a pure, genuine, authentic. And he is a funny guy, and we do get into this rhythm,” he says of their back-and-forth.<\/p>\n

But, few people know that it wasn’t always this way for the siblings. He says that at times he felt like more of a “father” to the newscaster than a brother. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“First of all, I’m 13-years older than Chris. My father was Governor, I’m 13-years-old which means he’s five, I’m 18. I could have been his father almost. So my father was very busy. I felt for Chris because he was much younger and on his own,” the 62-year-old shares. “So I was somewhere between a father and a brother role always. And it was a lot at one time.” Not to mention, Andrew was an aspiring politician, too. So in addition to helping with Chris, he was helping his father manage political campaigns. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Cuomo explains he felt he was always “balancing” being there for Chris, who he describes as a “really special human being,” with being there for his “obsessive” father. Cuomo adds, “You had Chris who’s sort of left at home and I felt for him and his plight.”<\/p>\n

He admits his many roles\u2014father figure, big brother, campaign manager\u2014created a “lot of pressure” for him as a young adult, but says he hadn’t “realized it at that time.” <\/p>\n

Now, things are a lot more casual between the two. When on Chris’ CNN show, between updates on the coronavirus pandemic, the brothers throw jabs at one another<\/a>. A current fan-favorite: “I called mom. I called mom just before I came on the show. By the way, she said I was her favorite,” the governor quipped one day<\/a>. “Good news is she said you’re her second favorite\u2014second favorite son.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
