CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper Announces The Birth Of His New Son Sebastian Luke
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper used his show Anderson Cooper 360 to announce some happy news on Thursday. Cooper took a moment to talk about the new addition to his life, namely his new adopted son Sebastian Luke. In the segment, he espoused while showing pictures of his first child Wyatt from 2020,
"I wanted to start out with some good news, which also happens to be very personal news. These are the pictures I showed of Wyatt then, taken just days after he was born. This is Wyatt today. He is nearly 22 months old. He is sweet, funny, and the greatest joy of my life. If he looks particularly happy in this picture, it's because he now has a baby brother. His name is Sebastian, and I would like you to meet him. This is Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. He was 6.8 pounds at birth and he was healthy and happy and even his occasional hiccups, are to me, adorable. He mostly just sleeps and eats and certainly poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little chap."
The announcement came with the bittersweet realization of Cooper's separation from Benjamin Maisani, who is co-parenting the children with Cooper. "Wyatt calls me 'daddy' and Benjamin 'papa.' We're a family. Benjamin is also in the process of adopting Wyatt, whose last name will be changed to Maisani-Cooper as well."
He went on to show his appreciation for the surrogate and doctors who helped to bring his son Sebastian into the world before announcing he would be taking a two-week vacation to acclimate to his new family. While speaking with anchor John Berman, Cooper has this to say about being a second-time parent,
"I'm definitely calmer than I was the first time. He's doing great and he's just so adorable, he's got a lot more hair than Wyatt had when he was born, and he's just incredible."
We wish Cooper and his family all the best.
