He added that he is raising the baby with his “best friend and former partner” Benjamin Maisani, who is also in the process of adopting Anderson’s 22-month-old son, Wyatt.<\/p>\n

“These are the pictures I showed of Wyatt [in 2020,] taken just days after he was born. This is Wyatt today,” Anderson said showing off his family photos.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Cooper said Wyatt calls him “Daddy” and Maisani “Papa.”\n<\/p>\n

“We’re a family,” Cooper said.<\/p>\n

He announced in January that he would begin hosting in the spring a new show for CNN+ called Parental Guidance<\/i>. He described it at the time as a “dive deep on all things parenting.”\n<\/p>\n
