Andy Cohen is sharing big news about his love life with fans. While Kevin Sobieski isn’t his first public boyfriend, Cohen does keep things pretty private.
After years of keeping his romantic life under wraps, Andy Cohen is finally opening up about finding love. The Bravo executive recently stepped out with his new boyfriend for his 58th birthday celebration, and fans are thrilled he’s sharing this moment. Whether this marks a new chapter in his personal journey or just a shift in how public he’s willing to be, one thing’s clear: Cohen seems genuinely happy. Let’s break down who he’s seeing now and look back at his dating history.
Andy Cohen Goes Public With Kevin Sobieski
The Watch What Happens Live host has been fielding questions about his love life for years. Now he’s got an answer that’s got everyone celebrating. Cohen confirmed he’s in a relationship, and by all accounts, he’s smitten with his new partner.
Cohen made the announcement official on the June 8 episode of his SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live. He told listeners he had finally “met the person.” That person is Kevin Sobieski, a businessman working at a prominent private equity firm. Though fans are just now learning about the relationship, Cohen revealed they’ve been building something real behind the scenes. Sobieski gets along great with Cohen’s children, and yes, Cohen dropped the L-word. The two apparently met almost a year ago at a friend’s Fourth of July bash in the Hamptons. Cohen made the first move by slipping Sobieski his number—a bold move that clearly paid off.
While the official announcement came on June 8, the pair went public days earlier. On June 2, Cohen was photographed holding hands with Sobieski leaving his birthday dinner at the West Village restaurant Via Carota. Fans wasted no time discovering Sobieski’s name, career, and background. This level of openness is significant for Cohen, who’s built his reputation on keeping his personal life locked tight while exposing everyone else’s drama.
Who Has He Dated Before?
Cohen built an entire career on gossip and airing others’ business. When it comes to his own romantic world, though, he’s kept things quiet and minimal. In a 2023 episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat, Cohen revealed he hasn’t had many long-term relationships. With few committed partnerships to speak of, there’s been less room for public drama in his life.
That said, he has dated publicly. Back in 2013, he started dating Clifton Dassuncao, and that romance lasted about five years. The relationship was mostly private at Dassuncao’s request, though the media eventually caught wind. Years before that, he dated his Radio Andy co-star John Hill for two years—a relationship that ended more than two decades ago. Like many Andy Cohen stories tied to BIPOC cultural moments, his personal journey reflects broader conversations about visibility, privacy, and queer identity in media spaces.
Cohen and Hill remained close even after the romance faded. Hill once explained their split simply: “We grew apart in terms of boyfriendness.” There’s little public information about anyone Cohen may have dated between 2018 and now. But given how openly he’s discussing Sobieski, it seems Cohen genuinely believes this relationship is different—that this could be the real deal.
