Andy Cohen brings his one-year-old son Benjamin out to clap for health care workers in NYC

Andy Cohen has been isolating with his son Benjamin, one, in New York City since over coming the novel coronavirus

And the Bravo host brought his toddler out to Lenox Health Greenwich Village to applaud the healthcare workers battling the pandemic on the front lines. 

Sure to keep six feet between himself and others who came out to support the workers, the 51-year-old clapped his son’s hands, on Tuesday.  

Moment of appreciation: Andy Cohen brought his son Benjamin, one, out to Lenox Health Greenwich Village to applaud the healthcare workers battling the pandemic on the front lines  Tuesday evening 

The Watch What Happens Live host was sure to wear a green bandana as a face mask, as New York state requires face masks in crowded areas, including sidewalks. 

He covered up for the cool evening in a baby blue hooded sweatshirt, light wash denim jeans and mustard color sneakers. 

Benjamin was monochromatic for the outing, in a navy blue zip-up hoodie, dark wash jeans and blue slide-on sneakers. 

Parents have been encouraged not to put face masks on their young children as it can cause them difficulty breathing.

For weeks New Yorkers have been clapping in support for hospital workers across the city at 7pm. 

Others joined the producer on the sidewalk, also wearing face masks to applaud the workers. 

Andy welcomed his son Benjamin via a surrogate in February 2019.

Back in April, Cohen showed off the tot during his Watch What Happens Live @ Home interview with late night host Stephen Colbert.

Prompting Benjamin to point to his head, the little boy eagerly obliged throwing a dazzling smile as he did so.

‘Get this kid in show business. He can take direction,’ Colbert quipped.

Like any proud papa, Cohen is marking every milestone in his child’s life.

At the beginning of May, he revealed that Benjamin had started walking and he took him for his first stroll around their New York neighborhood.

Cohen has also been offering support to pal Anderson Cooper who became a dad himself via surrogacy in late April, welcoming a baby boy he named Wyatt. 

Cooper has hired the nanny that cared for Benjamin during his first year and Cohen has spoken publicly about his delight at the CNN anchor joining him in fatherhood.

‘I’m so happy for Anderson,’ Cohen said on his SiriusXM show. ‘We’ve been talking about this for a long time and I have been really enjoying Anderson coming over. His visits with Ben have taken on a special significance since we both knew for a while that Anderson was planning on [becoming a dad] himself.’
