The host of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em> turned 51 on Sunday, four months after he welcomed his first child, son<\/a> Benjamin Allen Cohen<\/strong>, via surrogate. Cohen posted on his Instagram page an adorable selfie of him with his smiling boy.<\/p>\n

“I got the best birthday present of all…\u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“\u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f Happy Birthday #daddy \u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f,” commented longtime friend Kelly Ripa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“You got that right. Happy bday Andy!!” commented her husband Mark Consuelos<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Many more of Cohen’s celebrity friends and colleagues wished him a happy birthday on Instagram, including Real Housewives<\/em> stars Kyle Richards<\/a><\/strong>, Heather Dubrow<\/strong>, Teresa Giudice<\/a><\/strong>, Dorinda Medley<\/strong>, Cynthia Bailey<\/a><\/strong>, Porsha Williams<\/a><\/strong>, Melissa Gorga<\/a><\/strong>, and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
