Andy Cohen makes a rare personal confession on ‘WWHL’: “I date people half my age all of the time”

Andy Cohen is sharing rare details about his dating life.

Watch What Happens Live returned from its spring hiatus following Sunday night’s (April 12) episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. While chatting with guests Porsha Williams (RHOA) and Liz McGraw (RHORI), Cohen opened up about his penchant for much-younger men.

Cohen’s confession came during a game of “DinOH No You Didn’t,” in which he asked McGraw a series of probing questions about her friendship with Dino Guilmette, a former boxer and actor who was rumored to be McGraw’s side piece when her husband was away on fishing trips. According to McGraw and her husband—who was seated in the Bravo Clubhouse for last night’s taping—Guilmette is merely a close friend of the couple who would platonically look out for McGraw when her husband was out of town.

However, Cohen wondered if McGraw ever felt any temptation to take her friendship with Guilmette to the next level.

“I mean, Dino’s cute. Were you ever tempted, like, ‘Hey, my guy’s fishing!’” Cohen asked, to which McGraw said, “No.”

When McGraw’s husband pointed out that Guilmette is “half her age,” Cohen fired back, “So what? I date people half my age all of the time. Don’t shame age-gap friendships!”

Cohen, 57, tends to keep his dating life on the private side. While it’s public knowledge that he dated his Andy Cohen Live! radio co-host John Hill for about three years in the early 2000s, Cohen has otherwise managed to keep his romantic life on the quiet side. He did, however, share that he had a “mad passionate love affair” with Broadway actor Sydney James Harcourt.

The actor had appeared as a guest bartender on a July 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live, during which Cohen revealed that they met on Craigslist years earlier.

 “I met him many years ago and we had a mad passionate love affair — lust affair,” Cohen explained during a taping of Andy Cohen Live at the time. “I met him on Craigslist. Now, he, all these years later, winds up bartending on Watch What Happens Live last week.”

Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
