Andy Cohen has revealed that his five-year-old son Benjamin asked for police drones this Christmas, leaving him wondering if the youngster has been watching the news lately.
In recent months, many have seen drones flying over the Northeast, in places like New Jersey, New York, and Washington, DC.
Since at least Nov. 18, New Jersey officials and federal investigators have been plagued by reports of seemingly unexplained planes, some as large as cars, making strange, unscheduled nighttime flights over sensitive sites across the state.
While the White House has assured the public that there is no threat to national security and that these drones are simply “hobbyists,” it has caused mass hysteria.
And now, it looks like Cohen’s little son has caught wind of what’s been going on this holiday season.
“He asked me to help him write a letter to Santa and said he wanted a police drone for him, which is very timely,” said Cohen, 56. Us weekly in a new interview.
‘A Lego police drone that really flies. I’m like, “I don’t think that exists, but that’s okay.” It’s timely,’ he added.
The Watch What Happens Live host wondered if his son had been tuning into the news given his timely request.
Andy Cohen has revealed that his son Benjamin, 5, ordered police drones this Christmas and amusingly wonders if he’s been watching the news lately.
But now, it looks like Cohen’s son has caught wind of what’s been going on this holiday season.
“I said, ‘What have you been seeing on the news?'” Cohen joked.
But besides these Lego police drones, there are a few other things on Ben’s Christmas list, and they include things for his little sister, two-year-old Lucy.
“He ordered bath toys for Lucy and wants a Valentine’s card kit so he can make Valentine’s cards for me because he loves me,” Cohen shared with the outlet.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he added.
Cohen welcomed her first child, Ben, via surrogate on February 4, 2019.
More than two years later, on April 29, 2022, Cohen welcomed her second daughter, Lucy, also through a surrogate.
He is a single father and has been open about his journey so far, often showing off fun and relatable moments with his children on his Instagram page.
In an interview with People Last year, the Bravo TV producer shared even more about his son’s ‘fun’ personality.
“He ordered bath toys for Lucy and wants a Valentine’s card kit so he can make Valentine’s cards for me because he loves me,” Cohen shared with the outlet.
“He’s a lot of fun and that tickles me for obvious reasons,” Cohen said of his son Ben.
“I love that he makes me laugh,” he continued. ‘The other day I posted something about him collecting bottle caps and I said, “What are you going to do with these bottles?”
And he said, “I’m going to put them in bottles.” I mean, it’s quite literal, but I thought, “Oh, you’re smart.”
He also revealed some sage advice for parents.
“The kids don’t have a lot of patience, but we’re working on it,” he told the outlet at the time.
‘If the toy doesn’t work, they want to throw it away. But you want to show it to them and say, “Hey, stick with this. Let’s figure this out.” “It doesn’t always work, but sometimes,” he added.
