Andy Cohen is a proud new father to his baby boy, Benjamin Allen Cohen.

The first official photo of Cohens newborn son debuted Wednesday on the cover of People magazine, where the Real Housewives creator shared their surreal birthing story with the world and how hes adjusting to fatherhood.

After announcing he was expecting a baby on his late-night talk show in January, Cohen welcomed his first child via surrogacy the following month and named him after his own grandfather.

He was so alert for the first two hours, he never fell asleep and his eyes were wide open, Cohen told People . And he was quiet, he didnt cry, he was just calm and I just ... it was amazing.

Cohen, whos often described himself as the most talkative, said he had no words for what it felt like to hold the baby in his arms.
