Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani, despite ending their romantic relationship, are successfully co-parenting their two children, residing together in a converted firehouse in Greenwich Village, New York. Cooper joyfully announced the birth of their second child, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper, in February 2022. Expressing gratitude to the surrogate who carried Sebastian, Cooper highlighted his son’s arrival, sharing, “He mostly just sleeps, and eats and poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little champ.” He later updated on their bonding, revealing Wyatt, their first son, fondly refers to his brother as “Luke.”

Cooper and Maisani’s co-parenting dynamic is seamless, with Maisani actively involved in childcare. Cooper took paternity leave to cherish the early moments with his newborn, emphasizing the importance of family time. Their morning routine includes visits to a diner and swimming sessions. Cooper values bedtime routines, bonding with his sons through storytelling.

Their home reflects personal history, with Anderson giving a tour showcasing family heirlooms and his late mother’s artwork. The firehouse, renovated by architect Cary Tamarkin, serves as a space filled with memories and personal artifacts. Despite past losses, Cooper finds solace in facing grief, reflecting on his journey in his podcast, “All There Is With Anderson Cooper.”
