Congratulations, AndersonCooper!
, Cooper made the official announcement that he had become a father earlier this week.
"On Monday, I became a father. I've never actually said that before out loud, and it still kind of astonishes me. I am a dad," he said."I have a son and I want you to meet him." He then showed a photograph of his son, Wyatt Cooper, who is named after the journalist's late father. His middle name, Morgan, comes from a family name on his mother's side. Cooper says he knows his parents liked the name because he recently went through the belongings of his late mother,, and discovered it on a list of baby names they had compiled just before he was born 52 years ago.
"As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I'm so grateful for all those who paved the way, and the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth," he said during the broadcast."Most of all, I am eternally grateful to a remarkable surrogate, who carried Wyatt, watched over him lovingly, tenderly, and gave birth to him. It's an extraordinary what she and all surrogates give to families who can't have children.
