That wasn’t the only parenthood moment that Cohen and Meyers, 45, bonded over.
Also during Tuesday’sWHHL, the two played a game of “Never Have I Ever,” during which they each sipped drinks while they made their way through various fatherhood experiences.
“I haven’t cried over it, but I’ve carried on,” said Cohen.
“It can feel overwhelming,” Cohen said of raising Benjamin. “But when helooks back at me and smiles or laughsat something I say, everything feels right.”
It’s certainly been an exciting 10 months for Benjamin, judging from the Instagram photos Cohen has posted.
The two have traveled together, gone on play dates, and spent plenty of time snuggling. Benjamin has even met his dad’s famous friends likeKelly RipaandMark Consuelos,Anderson Cooper,Jimmy FallonandVicki Gunvalson. And of course, he formed a close bond withCohen’s rescue dog Wacharight off the bat.
Back in February, Cohen opened up about finding a surrogate to bring his dream of being a dad to fruition.
“I worked with an incredible surrogate,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “She was in California. Surrogacy is illegal in so many states, including New York. I don’t understand why. It’s a voluntary process, obviously.”
“My surrogate just viewed it as, she was giving me the ultimate gift. She gave me life,” Cohen added. “So I’ll be forever indebted to her.”
The surrogate gave birth to Benjamin on Feb. 4 with the Bravo star in the room.
“I had been hoping thathe would have a full head of hair, and he really over-delivered,” Cohen joked at the time. “That was the first thing you see, the head of hair coming out. And I was amazed.”
